19、AI is used in all fieldsBAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dads car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side
20、of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw 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 attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and ed
21、ged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled
22、 up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughte
23、r, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran
24、 to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it.Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When
25、 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.

28、 Deer AttackCStuttering(口吃) is a communication disorder(疾病) generally characterized by unconscious repetitions or pauses in the flow of speech. These repetitions and pauses can bake many forms, such as repetitions of parts of words (“li-li-like this”). Sometimes, there are moments when a sound or a
29、period of silence is lengthened (“llllike this” or “l-ike this”).Stuttering can be classified into a number or communication disorders: neurogenic(神经性的) stuttering and psychogenic stuttering are associated with sudden onset (发作) and, as their names imply, with a specific known causeeither a problem
30、in the makeup of the brain or a great psychological challenge. These disorders are comparatively rare and differ in terms of causes, symptoms and treatment from developmental stuttering. Developmental stuttering typically starts between the ages of two and a half and four. The onset of the disorder,
31、 which can be gradual or relatively sudden, generally occurs during the period of rapid development in a childs language skills, motor skills, character, and social interaction.The cause of developmental stuttering are not well understood and various theories have been offered throughout the history
32、 of speech-language pathology (the study of the causes and effects of illnesses). The roots of stuttering have been believed to relate to a number of causes: emotional problems, neurological problems, improper reactions from caregivers and family members, language planning, and speech motor difficul
33、ties among others. These theories have shown the promise of explaining some characteristics of stuttering but no single theory has thoroughly described the experiences of people who stutter.Young children who have stuttered for only a short time have a high rate of natural recovery, though it is imp
34、ossible to determine which children are most likely to recover and which are likely to continue stuttering. Most experts recommend early evaluation and treatment aimed at preventing the development of a chronic(慢性的) communication disorder.Speech-language pathologists disagree about which approach is
35、 best for older children and adults. Treatment options include training to change speech patterns, turning to doctors to minimize negative reactions, drugs, and electronic tools that improve fluency. Self-help and support groups also play an important role in recovery for many people who stutter. Ma
36、ny people who have taken stuttering treatment programs are able to make positive changes in their speech skills and communication abilities so they can communicate freely.29. If a small child begins to stutter, his or her parents should _.A. give their family more time B. consult a doctor immediatel
37、yC. wait for the child to recover naturally D. encourage the child to speak fluently30. What can we say about the approaches to treatment of stuttering?A. They prove to be useless for children.B. They are at the experimental stage.C. They produce positive effects.D. They work against each other.31.
38、The main purpose of the text is to _.A. describe recent research on stutteringB. show us the classification of stutteringC. explain the different forms of stutteringD. offer some basic knowledge of stutteringDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occu
39、rred. 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 the more reasons there are, the more powerful t
40、he 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 towards pedestrians who crossed streets carel
41、essly. 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 psychological support they got.The better a joke make
42、s 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 we
43、rent 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 belittling someone to make someone else laugh.
44、All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A. Only good jokes make people laugh B. Many factors lead to people laughing. C. Funny things can make people laugh D. Laughter can make
45、people healthy.33. 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 does the underlined word “belittling” probably
46、mean?A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to35.
