The nose is also used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is hard-nosed, chances are that he will never pay through the nose, or pay too much money, for an object or service.It is always helpful when people keep their noses out of other peoples businessthey do not interfere. The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. This kind of person is interested in other peoples private matters. He is considered nosey. Someone who keeps his nose to the grindstone works very hard. This can help a worker keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is it is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person cuts off his nose to spite his face. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also turn his nose up at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He is with his nose in the air. In school, some students thumb their noses at their teacherthey refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be right under your nose or easily seen.21. Which of the following can best describe a hard-nosed person?A. Stubborn. B. Wise. C. Jealous D. Generous.22. A person is not wele if he _.A. keeps his nose cleanB. noses around all the timeC. keeps his nose to the grindstoneD. keeps his nose out of other peoples business23. The expression turn ones nose up is similar to_.A. it is no skin off ones noseB. look down ones noseC. with one s nose in the airD. thumb ones noseBNext time you hear a funny joke youd better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isnt always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says, We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their hearts, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people whod dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But its not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, thats right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横隔膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn 40 calories, and if you laughed all day youd use about 2, 000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But dont do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way. But I dont want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate. Laughter es naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.24. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT _A. heart stopB. diaphragm movementC. lung burstD. jaw dislocation25.The underlined phrase doom and gloom in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. hopelessB. funnyC. painful D. nervous26. How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?A. About 40.B. About 1, 000.C. About 2, 000.D. About 2, 040.27. What is the authors attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph?A. Uninterested.B. Disapproving.C. Worried.D. Favorable. CThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimers. Alzheimers can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimers Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected rise to one million.John Gray of Alzheimers Scotland said, People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine. Another advantage of using the pets as panions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and panionship. Ms Gray said: The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. Its such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People dont need to municate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there is a greater chance of them taking it. The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.28. In Britain people with dementia_.A. are likely to increase in numberB. are mostly over 65 years oldC. will be trained to respond to sound triggersD. will be able to live a relatively normal life29. The dogs are trained to perform tasks by_.A. making some sound signalsB. municating with the patientsC. reminding the patients by barkingD. reacting to some sound triggers30. What does the underlined word them in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Faces. B. Triggers.C. Pets. D. panions.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why should you read every day?When was the last time you read a book?
