五、热点素材阅读理解。
You’re walking down the street, thinking about your own business when a stranger passes by. He doesn’t say anything at all, but he gives you a smile. In a moment and almost unwillingly, you’re doing the same thing. You just can’t help it and you catch his smile. For some unknown reason, when we see someone smile, we just can’t stop ourselves doing the same thing.
In honour of World Smile Day, it’s time for us to answer this question. Is smiling contagious (有感染力的)?
Well, a study in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences gives the answer “yes”. As part of the research, social psychologists(心理学家) look into why we often copy(模仿) people’s facial expressions when we talk to them.
Interestingly, one of the conclusions(结论) is that we “try on” the emotions(感情) of others when we are talking with them. For example, when a friend tells us some good news happily, we may unconsciously(无意识地) show the same emotion through our smile. In doing so, we are feeling and understanding his or her joy.
So the reason we smile back when someone smiles at us is that we want to feel the same way as that person. However, not everyone can do this. During the research, the psychologists find people with some diseases can’t copy others’ facial expressions. They know someone is smiling but they cannot smile back.
(D)1. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The reason for smiling back.
B. An opinion on smiling back.
C. The result of smiling back.
D. An example of smiling back.
(B)2. Why do we smile back when we see someone else smile?
A. Because we want to talk with the person.
B. Because we are feeling the person’s joy.
C. Because we want the person to understand us.
D. Because we want to show we are clever.
(C)3. What problems do people with some diseases have?
A. They can’t feel happy when others smile at them.
B. They smile too much and can’t stop it.
C. They can’t copy others’ smiles.
D. They never smile and they are unhappy.
(A)4. Which could be the best title for this passage?
A. Why is smiling contagious?
B. What’s World Smile Day?
C. Why should we smile?
D. Do you know how to smile?

答案： 1.D 【点拨】根据第一段中的“You're walking down the street，thinking about your own business when a stranger passes by. He doesn't say anything at all，but he gives you a smile.”可知，第一段通过举例子说明别人微笑时我们也会回以微笑的这种行为。故选 D。
2.B 【点拨】根据最后一段中的“So the reason we smile back when someone smiles at us is that we want to feel the same way as that person.”可知，我们看见别人微笑时会回以微笑是因为我们也在感受那个人的快乐。故选 B。
3.C 【点拨】根据最后一段中的“During the research，the psychologists find people with some diseases can't copy others' facial expressions. They know someone is smiling but they cannot smile back.”可知，一些患有疾病的人无法回以微笑。故选 C。
4.A 【点拨】短文介绍了当别人对你微笑时，我们会同样回以微笑，原因是我们想感受微笑的人的情绪。这是在讨论微笑的感染力。故选 A。
