25、   Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average (平均) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOS found that 43% of CEOS are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine, article, “The Power of Birth Order,” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled (宠坏的)”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Many factors (因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A.A first-born. B.A second-born. C.A last-born.

【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A.He was likely to be given low pay.

B.He was likely to be agreeable.

C.He was likely to have more rights in a family.

【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?

A.受欢迎的 B.受控制的 C.受亏待的

【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.

A.has no influence on IQ B.may decide who we are C.is a factor in making us powerful

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Where Is Your Place in the Family?

B.What Makes You Successful in Life?

C.How Can You Grow into Big Man?

26、   It's no secret that laughter works wonders for us. And much research has been carried out, which shows that laughter is good for our general health and well-being. It has been found to release endorphins (释放安多芬), our bodies’ natural “feel-good” chemicals, into our blood. But as we grow older, we are more likely to find fewer things funny. A child will laugh on average 300 times a day. By the time we reach adulthood, his number is around 20. But what’s behind this? One theory suggests that it’s not a problem of losing our sense of humor but rather, as we grow older, we take things a bit more seriously.

Laughter is very much something we do with others. Studies have shown that we are 30 times more likely to find something funny when we are with others than when we are by ourselves. But to laugh with others, we do need to feel a connection to them. We need to feel comfortable in their company. That's why it can be difficult to laugh with strangers. Laughter is also very contagious and one person's laugh can spread quickly through out a group of people. But often what makes us join in is the fear of standing out and being different. We laugh, even if we don't' really get the joke, specially in groups controlled by a powerful person. When the head teacher ells a joke, for example, you laugh, even though later you might wonder if the joke was really that funny at all.

There are many different reasons why we laugh. Here are three widely accepted theories:

The Incongruity Theory: It's often the unexpected that makes us laugh. When things that we are familiar with suddenly take a turn into the unknown, our expectations are challenged and that often results in laughter.

The Superiority Theory: We often find the mistakes and misfortunes of others funny. This would explain the popularity of online videos showing pranks (恶作剧).

The Relief Theory: Laugh offers light relief. It explains why there are so many jokes about the darker things in life. By being able to laugh at them, we are able to face them more easily.

【1】According to the theory in Paragraph 1, why do we laugh less as we grow older?

A.There are fewer funny things. B.We take things more seriously.

C.Our body releases less endorphins. D.We gradually lose our sense of humor.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.More funny things happen when we are with others.

B.People feel comfortable in strangers' company.

C.We laugh sometimes because of social needs.

D.Powerful people are more likely to be funny.

【3】What does the underlined word “contagious” probably mean?

A.有感染力的 B.有区别的 C.令人害怕的 D.令人舒适的

【4】Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A.Something familiar is easy to make people laugh.

B.There are only 3 theories about the reasons why we laugh.

C.Every child laughs 300 times and an adult laughs 20 times a day.

D.The Superiority Theory can explain why people love making funny videos.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The art of laughter. B.The sign of laughter.

C.The power of laughter. D.The science of laughter.

27、When I looked at the grade on my math paper, my jaw(下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink.I had never received such a terrible grade before.

When I got home that afternoon, I lied to my dad.I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled.His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt my words.

A month later, Dad asked me again about the report at the dinner table.He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer.Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final.I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.

For a moment, he just looked at me.I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie.I am not disappointed at your math score.No one can be perfect all the time.But I am very disappointed in you.If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to get a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust(信任) in you.”

Dad’s words touched my heart.I could not forgive myself for having hurt his feelings.I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed it to him and apologized(道歉) sincerely.I realized that my honesty is not only important to me, but to those around me that truly care about me.

In one of Shakespeare’s plays, a person says, “No legacy(遗产) is so rich as honesty.” Now I understand those words.
