11、lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didnt answer at first she couldnt hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost? T
12、housands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make new one and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black ob
13、ject in a shadowy jet cabin ?The lady wasnt even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple off light attendants did a random search around the ladys seat; I wasnt impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of sm
14、all objects, bits of plastic,broken pieces of headphones. The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldnt. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat
15、and on the floor.Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.

19、 front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexissaw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was
20、 attacking a woman.Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says.

When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers.

Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo sh
28、ipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器) candlestick（烛台） that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango A
29、irlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across
30、 the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”,sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toads boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on
31、 the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toa
32、d species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart ratemethods that help the species survive in times of drought.“Weve had snakes in imported timbe
33、r and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit.

It can be inferred from the passage that_.24. sometimes animal are transported accidentally25. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa26. a candlestick is the best place for a toad27. droughts make toads live longerDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think
36、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 laughand t
37、he more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry
38、 towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, 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 psychol
39、ogical 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 w
40、ill probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont 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 making fun of anyone or b
41、elittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.25. What did the author find out after studying psychology? A. Only good jokes make people laughB. Many factors lead to people laughing. C. Funny thin
42、gs can make people laugh D. Laughter can make people healthy.26. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C. They could feel the pedestrians happiness.D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.34. What d
43、oes the underlined word “belittling” probably mean? A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to35.

When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 d
45、ollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. 37 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.So surely money cant really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 38 Stu
46、dies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.39 0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to cont
47、ribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction.
