Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino(厄尔尼诺). The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world. One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain. The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving. 12. El Nino is known as ___. A. the changing of the weather in southern Africa B. the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean C. the weather which brings drought(旱灾) to Africa D. the weather phenomenon (现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa 13.

A. they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought B. they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain C. they can do some research work in this field. D. they can put all this information into their computers. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. B. Three scientists from the USA work on this subject. C. Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger. D. El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe’s poor crops. 15.

There is an English saying “___16___” 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. ___17___ 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. ___18___ If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect 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. ___19___ ___20___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. A．Laughter can prolong one’s life. B．As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.
