Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humour. Participants（This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves. By December 2001 over 10, 000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour, ” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play. ”
Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”
The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality.
Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe. Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny
stuff to us.
1.Scientist started “ the laugh lab” project________
A. to find the funniest joke in European countries
B. to get more personal details about participants
C. to know what funny people are like from different nations and cultures
D. to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour
2.We can infer from the passage that________.
A. most of the people all over the world are completely honest
B. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh
C. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at all
D. psychologists and philosophers take interest in the “laugh lab” project
3.According to the passage, we can safely say that ________.
A. Jokes created by computer are less appealing to people.
B. Men and women have similar senses of humour.
C. The project lasted from September, 2001 to December, 2001.
D. Scientists have collected enough evidence to make final conclusions.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Funny or not?
B. Laugh louder!
C. Men laugh better.
D. Watch out for the trap in jokes!

In America, each of the states likes to promote itself with a slogan(口号).I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is “Life Elevated”. It’s a nod to outdoor entertainment in the high country,including the ski industry. I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt,
great mountains and golden plains. T he slogan there is “Colorful Colorado”. Years ago I lived in the “Peach State” of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is “Land of Enchantment(魔力)”.
We never seemed to get away from dust in New Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty breezes. She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it. The newcomer said,“
Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesn’t it?”“That’s not dust, honey,” the shop owner replied, “That’s ENCHANTMENT.”.
That made the problem more acceptable. That an escalator(自动扶梯)broke. He posted a sign to warn customers. He chose not to use the traditional “Out of Order” or “Do Not Use” warnings. Instead, his sign read,“This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway.”He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.
And in fact there are some things, like the weather, we can’t change. All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them. I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation. Finding something amusing or enjoyable of difficulty, an irritation or a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do. Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.
1.The first paragraph is severed as a(n) .
A. predication B. explanation
C. introduction D. conclusion
2.How would the newcomer probably feel after hearing what the shop owner said?
A. Angry. B. Curious.
C. Nervous. D. Relaxed.
3.What’s the purpose of the writer’s writing the passage?
A. To encourage people to find the funny side in their daily life.
B. To show the effects of using slogans to raise the position.
C. To explain the skills of turning a disadvantage into humor.
D. To tell the strange experience of a bargain in an antique shop.

When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取） rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It's no doubt to call this HK craze （狂热）, which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual （双语） education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China．After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees （学费） are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
1.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B．Higher education in Hong Kong.
C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D．The fall of mainland universities.
2.Top students from mainland apply for （申请） HK universities because ______.
A．many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation
3.From the passage we can see HK universities _______.
A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D．are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
4.What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?
A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities.
D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look . 1..
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 2..
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
3.. “We do not want to kick fashion out.” the headmaster
explained, “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
4.. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 5.. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D．Most students have simply ignored the request.
E．Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request simply for practical reasons.
F．Requests.
G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
