Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand­up comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other psychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。

Havingserved as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. While his heroic stand against the Nazis is well know, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.His CigarsThe classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. Churchill developed his love of cigars as a young man, when he traveled to Cuba. Forthe rest of his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he almostnever took a puff(吸，抽), preferring to chew on the end until it went out, thenrelight it and start again. To prevent the cigar becoming soggy (湿软的), Churchill invented the ＂bellybando＂, a strip of brown paper which could be glued around the end. At any given time, Churchill had 3,000 to 4,000 cigars in his house, mostly hisfavorite Romeo & Juliet brand. On one occasion, the president of Cuba presentedChurchill with 2,400 top-quality cigars, although his security team insisted one cigar from each box be sent off and tested for poison. Perhaps the story that best shows his love of cigars occurred during World War II, when he had a special oxygen mask designed so that he could still smoke his cigar on a high-altitude flight.His Black DogThroughout his life, Churchill probably suffered from depression, which he called his ＂black dog＂. At times, his depre ssion was so severe that he didn’t like standing close to a passing train or looking at the ocean from a ship because he feared that he would commit suicide.When he was depressed, Churchill would almost spend a great deal of time in bed and lose his ability to concentrate. However, when not depressed, Churchill was full of energy, usually working and talking until the early hours of the morning. He often described how ＂all the colors come back into the picture＂.1. Why did Churchill’s security team insist on checking the cigars?A.To test if they were safe for Churchill.B.To see if they were of the best quality.C.To make sure they were Churchill’s favorite.D.To guarantee they were not out of date.2. Which of the following best shows Churchill’s love of cigars?A.He fell in love with cigars at a young age.B.He smoked many cigars every day.C.He invented the ＂bellybando＂.D.He had an oxygen mask specially designed for smoking.3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A.Churchill became energetic again.B.Churchill remained depressed.C.Churchill drew colorful pictures.D.Churchill liked to talk about colors.4. What is probably the best title of the passage?A.Achievements of ChurchillB.Anecdotes about ChurchillC.Personalities of ChurchillD.Hobbies of ChurchillⅡ.完形填空(2016·山西考前质检)The worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong sense ofworry.It is eating people alive.Worry affects our children,our marriages,our 1,and our sense of security.We have chosen to tell our four children,aged three to thirteen,when we do not have enough money,and 2 which bills we have to pay with Daddy’s paycheck.We let them know that it’s 3 to get everything they want right now.They have 4 us.They 5 ask what bills we have to pay for a particular week.We 6 them to act upset orworried.7,we are learning from their reaction.Sometimes the child 8 the parents.Now instead of telling me what they want,they say,“Mom,when will we have 9money to get...”I pull out change and we 10 it to see if we can get Frosties(粟米片)at Wendy’s.Fast food was something they took for granted,but now it is11.They are making wish lists and 12 birthday and Christmas money for toys or games.We spend more time together as a family.We make popcorn,turn off the lights,and watch movies together,13 our evenings.We are happy to see our children are born craftsmen(手艺人) and their imaginations are 14.Our children have been so conditioned to have masterpieces at their fingertips.Boxes are a huge 15 at our house.They turn into airplanes,Star Wars’ figures,and anything else you can imagine.We live paycheck to paycheck,but somehow we 16 the difficulties.Our children may not have a college 17,but they will certainly understand what hard work is and get what they need.They will truly understand 18 it means to have a happy family.And19,at the end of each day,they will know they are 20,and that doesn’t cost athing!1.A.affections B.careerC.familiesD.businessplain B.explainC.warnD.declare3.A.possible B.vitalC.convenientD.hard4.A.frightened B.amazedC.entertainedD.delighted5.A.even B.stillC.everD.yet6.A.forbad B.gotC.expectedD.wished7.A.Moreover B.MeanwhileC.BesidesD.However8.A.teaches B.rescuesC.trainsD.develops9.A.easy B.littleC.enoughD.big10.A.count B.judgeC.figureD.keepual B.regularC.unfamiliarD.special12.A.receiving B.savingC.borrowingD.raising13.A.spending B.consumingC.enjoyingD.wasting14.A.fresh B.endlessstingD.limited15.A.hit B.styleC.objectD.issue16.A.put away B.get intoe acrossD.get over17.A.fare B.costC.chargeD.fund18.A.that B.whatC.howD.which19.A.after all B.in allC.all overD.at all20.A.protected B.guardedC.lovedD.defendedⅢ.短文改错(2016·湖北七市4月联考) Dear Jane,How’s everything going?I’m glad to ha ve met you and become friend with you.I miss you very well and thus I’m writing to tell you anything about my new life at college.My new school is so beautiful as a huge garden.There are green grass andcolourful flowers everywhere.My teachers are all kind and I believe,with time goby,I’ll make a great progress.My classmates are very friendly and I made many new friends here.I feel that my new life is very excited,but I also realize that it is full of challenges.I’ve decided to work hard so that I’ll have a brightly future.Of course,I’ll also do more exercise to keep fit.I’m looking forward to your reply.Yours sincerely,Tom考点规范练(必修2Unit 2)【短文语法填空】1.reported2.richest3.who4.by5.when6．However7.of8.Both9.acting10.theⅠ.A【解题导语】本文是说明文。

Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.1．What do we know about Schult's sculptures?A．They served as garbage containers.B．They reflected environmental issues.C．They were first shown in Paris，France.D．They were to raise economic awareness.2．HA Schult's artistic works also get the message across that an artist must ________.A．be socially responsibleB．be as modest as possibleC．make garbage recyclableD．take diverse artistic forms3．According to the last 2 paragraphs，the author probably agrees that ________.A．it takes talent to be a trash artistB．preset ideas are important to artistsC．trash art can't be seen as a real art formD．average people can also make trash artists4．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Could You Be a Trash Artist?B．What Are Social Sculptures?C．Do You Know about Trash Art?D．How Can We Deal with Used Cans?【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位德国艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，并以此鼓励读者行动起来，为环保出一份力。
