It is our deep 52 that laughter and only the laughter can unite the world, holding up a 53 sense of brotherhood and friendship.

Studies also show that laughter helps your body to do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, 54 for those who are unable to perform 55 exercise.

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.

“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”

Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.

“And then?”
