Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.

On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.

　　The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.

“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.

　　The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

　　“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”

　　Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.

21. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?

　　A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.

　　B. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.

　　C. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.

　　D. There was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.

22. Which statement is True according to the passage?

　　A. Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.

　　B. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.

　　C. “Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.

　　D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.

23. How many methods were used to test the portrait?

　　A. Not mentioned.　　 B. Two　　 C. Three　　 D. At least four.

24. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. Birthdays often involve surprises　　

B. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fake　　

C. The surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare

D. How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?

Next time you hear a funny joke you’d better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best?medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says “We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who’d?dislocated their?jaws?or burst their lungs.”

It seems that laughing can be?no laughing matter. But?it’s not all?doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to?lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s right laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that “You use energy when you laugh, you move your?diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.”

According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a?painful?jaw.?Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a?funny?way.

But I don’t want to finish this article leaving you feeling?desperate. Laughter comes naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your?sense of humour?and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.

28. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT_______.

A. diaphragm movement B. heart stop

C. lung burst D. jaw dislocation
