4.Text 4 Humor, which ought to give rise to only the most light-hearted and ** feelings, can often stir up vehemence and animosity. Evidently it is dearer to us than we realize. Men will take almost any kind of criticism except the observation that they have no sense of humour. A man will admit to being a coward or a liar or a thief or a poor mechanic or a bad swimmer, but tell him he as a dreadful sense of humour and you might as well have slandered his mother. Even if he is civilized enough to pretend to make light of your statement, he will still secretly believe that he has not only a good sense of humour but are superior to most. He has, in other words, a completely blind spot on the subject. This is all the more surprising when you consider that not one man in ten million can give you any kind of intelligent answer as to what humour is or why he laughs.One day when I was about twelve years old, it occurred to me to wonder about the phenomenon of laughter. At first I thought it is easy enough to see what I laugh at and why I am amused, but why at such times do I open my mouth and exhale in jerking gasps and wrinkle up my eyes and throw back my head and halloo like an animal? Why do I not instead rap four times on the top of my head or whistle or whirl about?That was over twenty years ago and I am still wondering, except that I now no longer even take my first assumption for granted, I no longer clearly understand why I laugh at what amuses me nor why things are amusing. I have illustrious company in my confusion, of course, Many of the great minds of history have brought their power of concentration to bear on the mystery of humour, and, to date, their conclusions are so contradictory and ephemeral that they cannot possibly be classified as scientific.Many definitions of the comic are incomplete and many are simply rewording of things we already know. Aristotle, for example, defined the ridiculous as that which is incongruous but represents neither **er nor pain. But that seems to me to be a most inadequate sort of observation, for of at this minute I insert here the word rutabagas, I have introduced something in congruous, something not funny. Of course, it must be admitted that Aristotle did not claim that every painless in congruity is ridiculous but as soon as we have gone as far as this admission, we begin to see that we have come to grips with a ghost when we think have it pinned, it suddenly appears behind us, mocking us.An all-embracing definition of humour has been attempted by many philosophers, but no definition, no formula had ever been devised that is entirely satisfactory. Aristotle's definition has come to be known loosely as the "disappointment" theory, or the "frustrated expectation", but he also, discussed another theory borrowed in part from Plato which states that the pleasure we derive in laughing is an enjoyment of the misfortune of others, due to a momentary feeling of superiority or gratified vanity in appreciation of the fact that we ourselves are not in the observed predicament.第36题:Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?[A] People don't like to be considered as one with no sense of humour.[B] People will give you a satisfactory answer to what humour is.[C] People would like to be a liar or a coward.[D] People can make light of other's comment on their sense of humour.

    A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.

    Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.

    It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.

    1.The number of people believing politicians and journalists has __________.

    A.increased

    B.not changed

    C.decreased

    2.Experts think this problem ____________.

    A.will get better soon

    B.will not get better soon

    C.will get worse soon

    The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at brith.______(48)(After all,when a baby laughs,we don't rush over and say,"That kid has a great sense of humor!")A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.
    Sometimes people think that they don"have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers.Dr.Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor.______(49) Then we will make others laugh, too.
    A person who has a true sense"'humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is "the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation."

    文章前一句提到这种观点是错误的。A项的意思是:正确的观点是我们生来便会笑,与前面的观点形成对比,故选A。

    答案:E
    解析:
    前面一句讲到,我们如何能让生活充满更多欢笑?B项意思是,幽默感可以培养吗?这两个问句表达的意思相似,关系比较紧密,且下文是围绕此问题展开的。故B项符合语境。
    前面一句讲到,Dr.Wilson指出“幽默感是与生俱来的”这一看法是错误的。第三段第一句话说,人们的大脑和中枢神经系统中控制笑的部分在人们出生时就成熟了。联系上下文,此处应该是对事实的一种陈述。E项符合语境。
    后面一句小括号里的话是对此处语句的更深层次的解释,是说当婴儿笑的时候,我们不会草率地认为“那个孩子很有幽默感”。因此,D项“然而,婴儿会笑并不表示婴儿有幽默感”符合此处语境。
    前面一句说,讲笑话只是众多表现幽默感的方式之一。后面一句又说,然后我们将能使别人发笑。联系上下文可推测出,此处应该对其他表现幽默感的方式进行说明。C项符合语境。
    前面提到了一家店的橱窗上的一块牌子,F项也提到了块牌子。而且,后面一句说,正如Dr.Wilson所说,好的幽默感是指你不需要让人感到想笑,你只要能发现乐趣就行。这是对此处表达的意思的进一步诠释。联系上下文可推测出,F项符合语境。

    From Ponzi to Madoff

    The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
    Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
    for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
    a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
    him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
    How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
    He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
    money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
    people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
    bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
    all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
    Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
    People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
    more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
    years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
    who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
    One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
    discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
    Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
    Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
    go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
    Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
    clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!

    What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
    A:He spent it all on things for himself.
    B:He used some of it to pay other people.
    C:He deposited it all in a bank.
    D:He kept it all to save for a good plan.

    答案:B
    解析:
    从文章第一段倒数第三句话“Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every$100 you gave him to hold.”可知答案为C。
    从文章第二段第二句话“He used some of that money to pay other people”可知答案为B。

    空格前的问句问的是我们如何能让生活充满更多欢笑;B项问句问的是幽默感能不能被培养。这两个问题相似,关系比较紧密,且与空格后的句子相照应,故选B项。
    空格前的句子的大意是:很多人认为幽默感是与生俱来的,而Dr.Wilson指出人们的这种普遍看法是错误的。由此可知,空格处应该是对真相的描述。本题选择D项。
    空格后括号里的句子是对空格处的语句的解释,表明我们不会草率地认为“那个孩子很有幽默感”。因此选择C项,婴儿会笑并不表示婴儿有幽默感。
    空格前一句表明,讲笑话只是众多表现幽默的方式中的一种。空格后一句又说,“然后我们将能使别人也发笑”,其中用到了"too",因此可以推测出空格处句子应提到使某人发笑,A 项“我们不要克制,要先让自己笑”,符合题意。
    空格后一句的大意是:正如Dr.Wilson所说,好的幽默感并不是指你要让别人感到想笑,而是指你能发现乐趣所在。这是对F项的进一步诊释。而且F项的“He”与空格前句中的 "The store manager"一致。

Ode tics, maker of video security systems and other recording equipment, considered it an honor when Industry week called it “the wackiest place to work in the U.

To remind them, companies are posting amusing notes and cartoons on (33)______ boards, building libraries of humorous books for workers to read, sponsoring “fun at work” days, “laughter” committees, and (34)______ hiring specialists.  As a result, the corporate humor business has taken off. A “humor services” group, called Humor Project, reports that it receives about twenty requests each day (35)______ companies looking for humor consultants. The Laughter Remedy, an organization that teaches the benefits of humor, helps employees build “humor skills” through a program that includes such steps (36)______“developing the ability to play with language” and “finding humor in everyday life. “ Humor consultant Paul McGhee gives audiences “remedial belly laughing” lessons.

And corporations that have added honor to workplace report an increase not only in productivity but (40)______ in employee loyalty, creativity, and morale, as well as improved teamwork and employee health.

    正确答案: 31. FOR
    从该句提到的interviews job candidates(对求职者进行面试),可知此处指“他寻找能大声笑出来的人”。look for有“寻找(某人或某物)”的意思,因此该处填介词for。
    32. WHICH
    此处是非限制向定语从句修饰先行词“Joy Gang”,因此应该由关系代词which引导。
    33. BULLETIN
    bulletin board指“公告栏;电子布告栏”,文中指“公司在公告栏上贴上好笑的话语或卡通”。
    34. EVEN
    为了使员工记起how to smile and laugh,有些公司做出一系列的努力,包括“在公告栏上贴上好笑的话语或卡通,专门为员工建造提供幽默书籍的图书馆等,而此处提到了“雇佣专家”来逗员工笑,因此该处应该用副词even(甚至)来表示强调。
    35. FROM
    此处Humor Project收到的requests来自寻找幽默顾问的公司,因此应该填入介词from,指“来自”。
    36. AS
    该空之前出现的such为关键词,such经常与as连用,进行列举,因此该处应填入as。
    37. TAKE
    该空之后的breaks指的是“短暂休息”,take经常与break连用,指“进行短暂休息”,如take coffee breaks,因此填take。
    38. TO
    contrary to为固定搭配,指“与…相反”,文中指“为什么要为这项似乎与职业道德相反的活动大费周章和缴纳费用呢?”。
    39. EVERY
    分析that从句的句子成分可知此处需填入一个词,与hour连用,并构成该句的时间状语。every后加表示时间的词,可用来做时间状语,故此处应填入every,文中指“最近一项研究表明那些效率最高的工作场所每个小时都有至少十分钟的笑声”,
    40. ALSO
    从之前的not only可以看出,此处是not only…but also结构,因此填入also。
