As a child his eyesight became worse and then, at the age of 13, he lost his sight completely. However, he did not lose his determination to lead a full and active life.‎ Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba diving. He competed in long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, though, is mountaineering.‎ As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the top of Mount McKinley in 2019 and then climbed the dangerous 1000-metre rock wall of EI Capitan. Two years later, while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya with his girlfriend, they stopped for a time at 13,000 feet above sea level－in order to get ‎ married. And on May 25, 2019, at the age of 33, Erik successfully completed the greatest mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world two years after he climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America in 2019．‎ Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to guide him. Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the job, such as setting up tents and building snow walls.‎ Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the top of Everest.

Carnegie Hall is known not just ‎ for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life. ‎ Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5, 1891.‎ The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 2019.‎ In 1986, people realized that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history. Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall’s concert history.‎ Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall’s history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” Answer: “Practise, practise, practise.”‎ ‎31.

Because you don’t expect the same word to be repeated three times.‎ ‎（C ）‎ There is an English saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.‎ Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.‎ Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.‎ As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they help 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 beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. ‎ ‎36．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?‎ A．Laughter is good for health B．Laughter can make you become old quickly C．Laughter helps to reduce pain. ‎ D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.‎ ‎37．The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “ ______”.‎ A．causes        B．stops        C．increases     D．reduces ‎38．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?‎ A．Because they want to earn more money.‎ B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses quickly.‎ C．Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.‎ D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh ‎39．According to the author, we should.‎ A．laugh as much as possible B．watch more funny films C．smile all the time D．spend more time in laughter clinics ‎40．What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health B．Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition C．Laughter can reduce the effects of pain D．Laughter is the best medicine.‎ ‎（D）‎ ‎◆GONE WITH THE WIND Author: Margaret Mitchell ‎ ‎¥ 25（in bookstores）¥ 18(online)‎ Gone With the Wind is a best seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War(美国内战).
