24、   Before I studied psychology ( 心 理 学 ), I used to think that funny things make people laugh. While I was right about that, I discovered that there are lots of other psychological factors ( 因 素 ) 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 laugh — and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be．If your joke supports the opinions of a person, he will laugh more.

I was attending a talk show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of the way pedestrians (行人) cross the 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 the streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made people 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 makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you are jealous  (嫉妒) of a friend, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then most probably you will laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him．

In short, we don’t 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  (贬低) someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions in any possible way, he will certainly like it a lot. You can do this in a better way by supporting their opinions without making fun of anyone in a funny way to make them laugh.

【1】Before studying psychology, the writer thought   .

A.only good jokes made people laugh B.many factors led to people laughing

C.funny things could make people laugh D.laughing could make people healthy

【2】Why did people laugh loud at the pedestrians in paragraph 2?

A.Because they played a joke on the pedestrians.

B.Because the pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C.Because they could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D.Because their emotions were supported by the show.

【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To introduce a talk show the writer attended.

B.To draw people’s attention to psychology learning.

C.To question about the psychological factors that make people laugh.

D.To stress people can make others laugh by supporting their opinions.

25、   In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Harvard University,  aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted (领养的) and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, 1 gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time, but I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit. But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

27、Look around you—how many plastic (塑料) things can you find in your house? Most homes today are almost full of plastic, from water bottles to clothes, chairs, and even computers. Regretfully, so are our rivers and oceans.

According to research, about 583 billion (十亿) plastic bottles were produced in 2021. That is 100 billion more than just five years ago. This year, five trillion (万亿) plastic bags are used. That’s 160,000 every second. Americans alone use half a million drinking straws (吸管) every day.

However, very little of the plastic that goes into recycling bins (回收箱) can make it through the recycling process. It’s said that only around 9 percent of plastic is recycled. About 16 percent is burned for electricity or heat. The rest ends up in landfills (填埋场) or bodies of water.

Not all the plastic things you put in your recycling bin can be recycled and reused. In most cases, plastic things can’t be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them. That’s because some plastics can’t be mixed together.

How about those plastic things that are able to be recycled at a recycling center? First, workers make sure that each plastic is clean. After that, the plastic things are made into small pieces. At last, they are melted (熔化) and used to create new things. One of the commonly seen products is new plastic bottles. Recycled plastic can also be used to make clothes, pens, pencils, and building materials!

【3】How much plastic can be reused according to Paragraph 3?

A．9%.

B．16%.

C．25%.

D．75%.

【4】Why can’t all the plastic things be recycled and reused?

A．Because they have more than a kind of plastic in them.

B．Because they aren’t put in the recycling bin.

28、   Yesterday was my grandma's 【1】 (sixty) birthday. She used to be a teacher. She was the head teacher of a school for teenagers between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that she was a very kind woman at heart, b【2】 when I was young, she gave me 【3】 (present), and seated me on her knees, and taught 【4】 (I) Chinese.

My grandma never forgot. She was 【10】 very different woman at school, from the woman I saw day by day in her own home.
