问题     Ever heard the one about the doctor who gave his patient six months to live? When the man couldn’t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.
    Go ahead, laugh. It’s strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and contracts abdominal (腹部 的) muscles. A hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine, according to Frv.
    But the benefits go beyond an exercise. The most astonishing evidence of laughter’s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes even-day: the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.
    Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.
    Justin Black, 13 years old, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery — until Bill Marx, a volunteer (志愿者) for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes, made faces and pranced (欣喜地跳跃) around the hospital room. "Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain," says Justin. "When you’re laughing, you can’t help but feel better."
The early results of the landmark experiment, called Rx Laughter, show that the humorous videos______.
选项 A、replace medication that children take
B、really help children handle their pains
C、do no good to children’s uncomfortable procedures
D、have some side effect on children’s painful procedures
答案B
解析 本题为细节题，要说明Rx Laughter试验中幽默视频的作用。选项A意为“代替病儿的医药”；选项B意为“帮助病儿减轻病痛”；选项C意为“对病儿会感到不舒服的医治疗程没有好处”；选项D意为“对病儿会感到疼痛的医治有一定的副作用。”从文章中Justin Black的亲身体验以及文章第四段中“Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures．”可以得知，选项B表达的“帮助孩子们缓释痛苦”为正确答案。
