33、. A. a health magazine B. a newspaper report C. a novel D. a text book B When I first heard that the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini was being made into a movie, I was less than excited. As a reader of fantasy novels, I had read Eragon and became interested in the mystical land of Alagaesi

34、a. Why, then, did the thought of the movie Eragon displease me? The answer was quite simple: there is too much story to cover.

36、however. There are a few things here and there that I would change. The pace seems a bit fast, but other than that and a few plot changes, the film is quite good.

37、they happen on the screen, lets just say you wont be reading much.

42、ovel D. a good movie should have flying scenes and beautiful landscape C There is an English saying: “laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have foun

44、creases blood pressure, the heart rate and breathing. It also works several groups of muscle 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 e
