“Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe led groups of excited kids dressed in Hogwarts uniforms as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park officially opened on Friday to long lines and disordered traffic.

Radcliffe，Rupert Grint who plays the boy wizard's best friend Ron Weasley，and other actors from the blockbuster movie，were on hand at Universal Orlando Resort as fans lined up more than eight hours to be among the first visitors.
Before dawn，the backup of Potter fans began to block the main highway through Orlando near the entrances to Universal，forcing the theme park to open its parking garage at 5 am－30 minutes earlier than planned，according to local media.
Visitors said that by 8∶30 am the line to get inside wrapped around the outside of Universal's Islands of Adventure park，of which the Wizarding World is one of six unique sections. And the wait for the Forbidden Journey reached at least 90 minutes at one point.
“It was worth it，just because I'm a Harry Potter fan，”said Kelsey Rigg,18，a British transplant(移居者) to Florida who at 3 am joined a crowd of several hundred people.
Universal Orlando managers did not immediately have information about crowd size.
The 20acre Harry Potter park reportedly cost $250 million to build and recreates the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and other places dreamed up by author J．K. Rowling in her fantasy novels about the boy wizard and his friends.

What can we learn from Kelsey Rigg's words and action?

We can know from the passage that ________.

Dirty language，curse(诅咒) words，swearing. These are all ways of describing words people consider socially unacceptable. But such words are commonly said after a painful injury. So，do they serve a purpose in reducing physical pain？That is what researchers in Britain set out to discover.
Psychologist Richard Stephens wondered if using curse words truly helped people reduce physical pain. To test the theory，he asked more than 60 college students to take part in an experiment.
The students were asked to write down five words they might say after injuring their finger. One of the words was chosen as their swear word. The students were also asked to choose five words they might use to describe another object：a table. These words were their control words.
The students were then asked to hold their hand in freezing water for as long as they could. While holding their hand underwater，they were asked to repeat a swear word. Then they repeated the experiment using their control word instead.
The researchers found a link between swearing and an increased ability to deal with pain. When students repeated a swear word，they were able to hold their hand longer in the cold water. They said they experienced less pain when using swear words.
The experiment showed that swearing caused people's heart rate to increase，which permits the body to experience or ignore pain better. It also found interesting differences between men and women. The heart rate of both men and women increased. Yet swearing had a greater effect on women.
It is unclear to scientists exactly how swearing affects physical reactions to pain. Professor Stephens believes that swearing activates a different part of the brain than normal language. He says more experiments on different kinds of pain are needed to better understand the effect of swearing.
The researchers note that swear words have existed for hundreds of years. Their findings offer one reason why the custom of cursing may have continued for so long. Swear words are said with emotion. For that reason，the more someone swears，the less of an effect the words have.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

How did Richard Stephens carry out the experiment?

How many experiments should each college student take part in at least?

What does the underlined word “activates” mean?

Which of the following is one of the findings from the experiment?
