解析

本篇文章介绍了一名重病患者采用“微笑疗法”，恢复健康的故事，文章容易读懂，注重上下文的联系，学生容易得到高分。21. 由于身患重病，所以无法走动，故选C。从下句的lo the ability to move亦可看出。22. 从句子中：克服病魔，并幸存下来。可知D positive 为最佳：乐观的。23. 既然下句中有positive attitudes，那当然会有negative attitude，故选A。24. 学会笑对生活，我们会从中收获良多。积极乐观的态度会给我们带来诸多益处(benefits)，故选C。25. 从空格前面的诸多名词不难看出，空格出一定也是一个褒义词，the will to live(生存的意愿)，故选D。26. 既然决定笑对生活，必须生活在一个能够促进产生积极情绪的环境，表示“促进产生”，可以用lead to；result in；bring about等，故选A。27. “每天都回安排出时间来观看喜剧电影”，arrange和for构成搭配，故选D。28. 看喜剧电影，笑话书，自然是为了激发一种积极向上的情绪，故选A。29. “微笑疗法”是的痛苦减少，故选B。C指物体（尤其是衣物）体积上的缩小。30. actually可以表示“竟然“，符合句意，故选C。
