請回答第42題至第46題： In the summer of 1964, the well-known writer and editor Norman Cousins became very ill. He consulted his physician, who did many tests. Eventually he was diagnosed as having ankylosing spondylitis, a very serious and destructive form of arthritis. His doctor told him that he would become immobilized and eventually die of the disease. Despite the diagnosis, Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read the work of the organic chemist Hans Selye, The Stress of Life (1956). This book discusses the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative attitudes. Selye’s book made Cousins think about the possible benefits of positive attitudes and emotions. He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a remedy to heal some of the symptoms of his ailment. In addition to his conventional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations that would elicit positive emotions. “Laugh therapy” became part of his treatment. He scheduled time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would bring about laughter and positive emotions. Within eight days of starting his “laugh therapy” program, his pain began to decrease and he was able to sleep more easily. His body chemistry even improved. Doctors were able to see an improvement in his condition. He was able to return to work in a few months’ time and actually reached complete recovery after a few years.
【題組】44 What was the result of Cousins’ laugh therapy?
(A)His health gradually returned to normal.
(B)His health first improved but deteriorated afterwards.
(C)His illness was completely cured under laugh therapy for eight days.
(D)The therapy was able to reduce his pain, but it was not able to cure his disease.

請依下文回答第 48 題至第 50 題：
    In 1970, a wild child was found in California: a girl of 13 who had been isolated in a small room and had not been spoken to by her parents since infancy. “Genie,” as she was later dubbed to protect her privacy by the psycholinguists who tested her, could not stand erect. At the time, she was unable to speak: she could only whimper. The case came to light when Genie’s 50-year-old mother ran away from her 70-year-old husband after a violent quarrel and took the child along. The mother was partially blind and applied for public assistance. Genie was sent to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital for tests. 
   The discovery of Genie aroused intense curiosity among psychologists, linguists, neurologists, and others who study brain development. They were eager to know what Genie’s mental level was at the time she was found and whether she would be capable of developing her faculties. “It’s a terribly important case,” says Harlan Lane, a psycholinguist at Northeastern University who wrote The Wild Boy of Aveyron. “Since our morality doesn’t allow us to conduct deprivation experiments with human beings, these unfortunate people are all we have to go on.”

【題組】50 Which of the following fields might not be interested in studying Genie’s case?
(A)neurology
(B)mythology
(C)psychology
(D)linguistics
