听音频，回答题

Did you ever wonder what occurs inside your body when something funny happens？ What is this thing we have in our brains that makes us say "ha-ha" when someone26abanana？

One way to find out is to watch the brain laugh. That"s what Dartmouth neuroscientist William Kelley did. He and his team had a number of volunteers watch an27of Seinfeld while being monitored by an MRI， a machine that allows researchers to see which parts of the brain are active at any 28 time. They then matched the MRI data with the laugh track to see how the brain changes when it"s 29 something funny. There"s no one "funny center" in the brain——but the findings were pretty.

When subjects were looking at something funny， the two regions in their left hemispheres lit up. From 31 studies these regions are known to be associated with resolving unclear meanings. Is there something in "getting it" that"s 32 the process by which we work with unclear information until we suddenly see the pattern in it？

A couple seconds later two other brain regions became 33， called the insula（岛叶） and the amygdala（扁桃腺）. The insula is associated with 34， so it seems likely that this is the brain feeling good when it gets the joke——the "ha-ha" response. The amygdala is associated with memory formation. As the researchers35，while you may not be able to remember every plot detail in an episode of a soap opera， you can probably remember the jokes. Humor stays with us， forming a lasting memory.

听音频，回答题

There is an effect that not only have we all witnessed， but have26. Haven"t we all been on an elevator and noticed that just about everyone stops talking when they get on？ Why do we do that？ You can be having a 27 pleasant conversation with someone， and as soon as you get on an elevator， you just feel like you"d better shut up.

Then， as soon as the doors open， everyone28conversation. Primatologists， or people who study primate （灵长类动物） behavior， have a term for this. It"s called the "elevator effect，" though it doesn"t 29 only on elevators. It happens whenever a group of primates， like humans， is 30 a situation where escape is 31 impossible. It"s thought to be a kind of safety32: as long as nobody talks， nobody is going to risk getting in a fight when there"s no way to spread out. The elevator effect keeps a lid on potential problems before they start.

Even though they rarely if ever ride elevators， chimpanzees demonstrate the elevator effect as well. When chimps are temporarily crowded together into small areas， they will 33 their vocal communication， that is， nobody speaks， and avoid eye 34. The amount of scratching the chimps do， however， goes up. Since scratching is a sign of stress in chimps， we can imagine what they are feeling. It"s just like what we feel in a crowded elevator——everybody carefully35 the lighted numbers and no one saying a thing.

听音频，回答题

Have you ever noticed that while it"s pretty easy to tell your dog is sick， it"s much harder to know how your cat or bird are feeling？ Welt， before you start asking your dog why it can"t be more 26 like animals half its size， it"s probably worth 27 each animal"s place in the food chain. You see， the lower down the food chain you are， the more important it is for you to hide any sign of illness. Obvious illness or pain28 as red flags for predators. You may as well wear a sign saying， "Easy meal， guys. Come and get me."

Now， even small dogs are 29 programmed to function like predators，which 30 considering they are close relatives of wolves. And birds——you can probably 31 why the only way you"d find out your bird is sick is when it dies.

The situation with cats，32 dogs and birds， is much more interesting. On the one hand， cats are predators， but on the other， they"re small enough to be prey.

So how can you tell if your smaller pets need 33 attention？ For one thing，trust your feelings. No one knows your pets like you do， so if you notice even very 34 changes in habits and behavior， you may want to have a vet look them over. For a cat， other signs of illness might be that it has stopped grooming， is losing weight，35more or less than usual， or missing the litter box.

请根据短文的内容，回答题。

The First Four Minutes

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends？ During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, Contact: The first four minutes, he offers this advice to anyone __________ (46): "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people&39;s whole lives would change if they did just that."＜br＞

You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. He keeps looking over the other person&39;s shoulder, as if __________ (47).＜br＞

If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.＜br＞

When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."＜br＞

On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears, and hopes.＜br＞

Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I&39;m not a friendly, self-confident person. That&39;s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way".＜br＞

In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us __________ (48). We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."＜br＞

But isn&39;t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don&39;t actually feel that way？ Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one&39;s health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one&39;s opinions and impressions.＜br＞

Much of __________ (49) also applies to relationships with family members and friends. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.＜br＞

The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on __________ (50). That is at least as imPortant as how much we know.＜

根据以下材料，回答题

An Unhappy Trip

It was Friday， the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.

Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard （果园） .

The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy， but still Miss Joan was smiling.

The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. "What a glorious， sunny， apple picking day，"Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.

Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. "Let"s see， there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars， please."

Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. "It says that the price is two dollars each，" she pointed out. "That"s what I collected from everyone."

"We"ve had to raise the price，" Mr. Greenly stated.

"You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation，" Miss Joan complained， "and it says two dollars!"

"Miss Joan， if you look at the bottom of this brochure，" Mr. Greenly said， "you"ll notice very important statement."

Sure enough， in very tiny letters， it said， "Prices are subject to change without notice."

Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.

"Now children， do you all have your baskets？" Miss Joan called out. "Remember， each of you can pick as many apples as possible."

Mr. Greenly said， "You can"t pick as many apples as possible."

"I beg your pardon!" Miss Joan was not smiling now. "The brochure says， "ALL YOU

CAN PICK"!"

Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says， "Terms and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice."

Miss Joan"s good mood was now history. She didn"t want to set a bad example for her students，so she said in a calm and quiet voice， "We"re going home， give me our money back， please."

How many dollars did Miss Joan hand to Mr. Greenly？查看材料

A.20.

B.40.

C.60.

D.18.

根据以下材料，回答题

Surprised by a Miracle

I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" （昏迷） patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it"s "wishful thinking" on the families" part. Nurses can easily become callous （麻木不仁） to it.

On this particular night during visiting hours， my patient"s wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually， he didn"t do anything. He barely moved at all， even when something would obviously hurt him， such as suctioning （抽吸） .

His wife was very short， about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him， so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool I spoke to her for a few minutes，and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later， she came running out of the room. In an excited voice， she said， "Donna， he"s moving his hand!"

I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination， and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said， "1 asked him to squeeze my hand and he did!"

This led me to another train of questioning. "But， did he let go when you asked him to？" She said yes， that he had done exactly what she asked

I went into the room with her， not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify （抚慰） her than to make her think that I didn"t believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.

She asked him to squeeze her hand， which he did.

I said， "Well， ask him to let go." He continued to squeeze for a moment， so that when he finally did let go， I really still didn"t believe that he had done it on purpose，So， I said， "Ask him to hold up one finger." He did as asked.

Well， this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him， his face still somewhat swollen （肿胀的） and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor.

It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up."

The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient__________. 查看材料

听音频，回答题

Elephants have a complex social structure and they live in26societies. The basic family unit is formed of small groups of adult females， who are 27 each other， and their young of both sexes. Now the females remain in their families for life， they"re highly social， but male elephants leave their families at about fourteen years of age. They travel alone or stay together in small，28 groups with other males，29 joining a family on a temporary basis. When males are ready to mate they wander widely， searching for 30 females. The family unit， on the other hand， often contains three generations， and it can remain stable for decades， or even centuries. Then each family 31 between one and five other families， probably consisting of their more distant relatives. Scientists call these groups of families "bond groups"， and bond groups belong，32， to even larger groups， called clans. And like other social animals they have to be able to communicate. But what baffled early33was their ability to communicate over long distances. So they set about researching this question. After years of observation and study， our understanding of elephant communication has increased considerably in recent years. However， even with the use of radio tracking collars， it"s technically difficult to 34 the functions of long-range communication. So although scientists are aware that elephants may know the whereabouts， and possibly the activities of other elephants that are several miles away，there may be a lot of subtle， long-range35which are still not evident.
