21、Lucy Houk remembers the day four years ago when her fourth-grade classmates chose instruments to play in the school orchestra(管弦乐队). “Everyone else was picking instruments and having fun and I couldn’t pick one because I couldn’t really play any of them,” she said. She longed to play the cello(大提琴), but the cello requires two hands-one to hold the bow, the other to work the four strings.

Lucy, daughter of Lara Houk and Zak Houk, has one arm-her left-and only a partial right arm. She was born prematurely at 24 weeks with lots of problems. Lucy’s night arm is missing just below the elbow, but “Whatever she wants to do, we find a way to do it.” Lara said.

Lucy, an easy going eighth-grader at Highland Middle School in the Blackhawk School District, said, “I can tie my shoes. I can jump rope. But what I really wanted was to play the cello, but no one could think of anything to help me play it back then.”

Last winter, Eric Baker noticed Lucy. Baker, who joined the district two years ago, is the orchestra director for fourth through 12th grades. He collaborated(协作) with Dale Moll, a technology and engineering teacher at the high school, to find a way to make an adaptive bow holder that could be attached to Lucy’s elbow. While a student at Duquesne University, Baker took a class and attended a seminar on adaptive instruments for students with special needs, but never thought he’d have to apply what he learned-until he met Lucy.

“I hope more people don’t think because of their physical limitation that they can’t do something. There are so many ways to work around this kind of thing, especially with all the technology we have around these days,” Baker said.

The Highland teachers “went above and beyond their normal, average, everyday teaching job to do something special for Lucy and gave her an opportunity like every other kid,” Lara said.

Today, playing the cello with her classmates, Lucy feels like every other kid.

【1】What upset Lucy when she was in fourth grade?

A．Having medical treatment with her elbow.

B．Being unable to play musical instruments.

C．Joining the school orchestra.

D．Being rejected by her classmates.

【2】What are Lucy’s parents like?

A．They are confident of Lucy’s recovery.

B．They are proud of Lucy’s achievements.

C．They are anxious about Lucy’s future.

D．They are supportive of Lucy’s wishes.

【3】What was beyond Baker’s expectations?

A．Becoming the orchestra director at Highland Middle School.

B．Meeting a student with physical disabilities.

C．Putting what he’s lamed in a seminar into practice.

D．Working with the technology and engineering teacher.

【4】What did Lara think of the Highland teachers?

A．They went the extra mile at work.

B．They were skilled in teaching music.

C．They were devoted and gave Lucy lots of opportunities.

D．They would give enough attention to kids with special needs.

22、Humans start developing a sense of humour as early as six weeks old, when babies begin to laugh and smile in response to stimuli (刺激物). Laughter and humour provide psychological scientists with rich resources for studying human psychology.

Theories focusing on the evolution of laughter point to it as an important adaptation for social communication. For example, in 1950, a U.S. sound engineer started recording his own ‘laugh tracks’. These were intended to help people at home feel like they were in a social situation. He even recorded various types of laughter. 【1】

In one study, carried out in 2016 at the university of California, samples of laughter from pairs of English-speaking students were recorded and played to listeners from 24 diverse societies. 【2】 On average, the results were remarkably consistent: worldwide, people’s guesses were correct approximately 60% of the time.

Another study by researchers of Australian National University was based on the assumption that humour might provide a pause from dull situations in the workplace. 【3】 The researchers first asked the students to cross out every instance of the letter ‘e’ over two pages of text. The students then were randomly assigned to watch a video clip. Some watched a clip of the BBC comedy Mr. Bean, and others a factual video about the management profession.

The students then completed a task requiring persistence in which they were asked to guess the potential performance of employees based on provided profiles, and were told that making 10 correct assessments in a row would lead to a win. 【4】 Students who had watched the Mr. Bean video ended up spending significantly more time working on the task, making twice as many predictions as the other group.

【5】 Again, participants who watched the humorous video spent significantly more time working on this boring task and completed more questions correctly than students from the other group.

Traditionally, individuals are advised to avoid things such as humour that may distract them from the accomplishment of task goals. However, humour actually helps relieve stress and facilitate social relationships. It is not only enjoyable but more importantly, energizing.

A．Participants were asked whether the pairs were friends or strangers.

B．This ‘mental break’ might facilitate the addition of mental resources.

C．The researchers then had participants complete long multiplication questions by hand.

D．A team made up of 30 psychological scientists played these recordings to different people.

E．However, the software was programmed that it was impossible to achieve 10 correct answers.

F．Researchers have also found different types of laughter serve as codes to complex human bonds.

G．He found out a simple ‘haha’ communicates a remarkable amount of socially relevant information.
