A
Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now，Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.
The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr. Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope. He thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He didn’t want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.
He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.
After a few months, Mr. Cousins returned to work. He had laughed himself back to health.

B
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
45.The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of space” means “______”.
A. Not two people need exactly the same amount of living space
B. Living space requirements are not always the same
C. The world requires the same amount of living space
D. Nobody needs a required amount of living space
46. Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because ______.
A. they have limited living space
B. they are brought up in a large family
C. it satisfies their psychological space needs
D. the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents
47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Americans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth.
B. Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.
C. People in different countries demand (need) different psychological space.
D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it has effect on your future.
48. The best title for this passage is ______.
A. American Way of Living B. Psychological Space
C. Space Needs in Different Countries D. Psychological Space and Economic Pressure
C
While homework in kindergarten requires coloring and learning the ABC’s, the high school homework load has become increasingly difficult and time-consuming.
“I think homework takes a long time to do,” Ross Perry, Grade 10, said. “It helps you learn sometimes, but not really that much. I stay up until midnight doing homework and sometimes there is no point in even starting to do it.”
Hallie Rojeski, a junior high teacher, tries not to give her classes homework, hoping not to discourage students. “I try to give minimal homework because students should be playing and taking exercise more than working inside all day. Students usually don’t have good study habits when they come into the 7th and 8th grade. I offer a necessary after-school assignment so they will learn them.”
Teenagers are encouraged to get 8-9 hours of sleep and participate in sports or physical activity outside school. With 2-3 hours of homework it can be difficult to do everything.
Homework takes different amounts of time based on what courses students take. “I give my Spanish students little bits of homework,” Melody Downie, a Spanish teacher, said. “That is about what we learned in class, because for a foreign language you need to do work that reinforces (巩固) what we learn. I hardly give my history class homework.”
“When students do their homework they should be in a quiet area,” Hallie Rojeski said. “They also need to do work for 30 minutes and then take a 10-minute break because it is hard for students to keep focused for a long time.”
The University of Michigan found in a recent study that the amount of homework had increased by 51% since 1981. Harris Cooper at Duke University says that students who do small amounts of homework do better on their tests, but when they exce
