34、lDto sell a service during the art festivalCDr Wiseman started “ the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humor. Participants (参加者) are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people
35、.The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female
36、 sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other , we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long held the attention of psychologists (心理学家) and philosophers(哲学家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects of u
37、s 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 (证据) to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have dif
38、ferent senses of humor, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior (优越) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”Researchers also found that there real
39、ly is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a s
40、ense of humor. 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 dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by comp
41、uter. 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 thing to us.64. We can infer from the passage that_.A. most of the people all over the world are completely
42、honestB. psychologists and philosophers take interest in “the laugh lab” projectC. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laughD. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at all 65. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans to _.A. sh
43、ow that the French people have a better sense of humor B. show people from different nations have different sense of humor C. prove that the Germans have no sense of humor D. prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”66. What is the main idea of the 4th and 5th paragraphs?A. About 10,00
44、0 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.B. Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.C. Man and woman have different senses of humor.D. Male and female have similar senses of humor.DWhen other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a pe
45、trol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship（奖学金）and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie,“Homeless to Harvard:
46、 The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted（吸毒）parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the
47、family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw he
48、rself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in
49、 her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that“next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to s
50、tudy at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to
51、 come away with the idea that changing your life is“as simple as making a decision.”67In which order did the following things happen to Liz?aHer mother died of AIDS. bShe worked at a petrol station.cShe got admitted into Harvard. dThe movie about her life was put on.eShe had trouble finding a place

53、oal?AEnvy and encouragement.BWillpower and determination.CDecisions and understanding.DLove and respect for her parents.70When she wrote“What drove me to live onI had only experienced a small part of the society”,she meant that .Ashe had little experience of social life Bshe could hardly understand

Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to beco
55、me rich. On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magician
56、s entertained them. 72 73 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the World Trade Organization. 74 Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well being. Actually, travelin
57、g to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel. In our fast developing society where stress has become part of peoples life, people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities. 75 No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18th century Europe, y
58、oung men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education. Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media. People who travel to other counters can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture. ABut why do peop
59、le like traveling so much? BThroughout history, most travel was not for pleasure. CSo they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a hike. DThe improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel E. Wealthy Romans made trips to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games. FThe growt
60、h of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world.

It was so late that my uncle had to go home. Though his friends told him not to drive, he shook his hand and said, “No problem”. The

The story conveys a message that we should follow traffic rules and never drive after drinking.
