Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects(作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins( 内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system that is the system which fights infection(感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists(精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.（1）We learn from the first paragraph that laughter . A . is good for ones healthB . has something to do with some illnessC . has been studied long sinceD . has no effect on the body（2）Doctors have found that laughter . A . keeps down blood pressureB . has similar effects to physical exerciseC . decreases the heart rateD . increases stress（3）Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?

There are lots of trees near the public schools in the town. Their leaves turn sunlight into energy.In Sheridan, the Sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels(太阳能电池板) to turn sunlight into energy.The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (学区) in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to follow the Sun across the sky.In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by The Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a programme director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (来源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it wont run out. Solar panels dont harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs. Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy. The Sun is Earths energy source, she says. Were trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.But using solar energy isnt always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.（1）What does the underlined word It in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . A plant.B . The Sun.C . A district.D .
