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."
From what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that he______.

选项 A、enjoyed the time with the scientists
B、soon recovered from his illness
C、often made fun of Marx
D、almost forgot his pain

答案D

解析 本题为细节题。本题的问题是“从篇尾Justin的话中我们可以得知什么。”选项A意为“享受与科学家在一起的时光”;选项B意为“很快康复”;选项C意为“经常取笑Marx”。这些内容与原文不符。最后一段的原文是: “Having something to laugh at took mymind off the pain….When you’re laughing,you can’t help but feel better.”,与选项D表达的意思“几乎会忘了痛苦”一致,因此选项D是正确答案。
