turned out to be a youngEmperor Penguin that was lost.At his age，he should have been close to the Antarctic，swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川)But this penguin startedswimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand.It has been 40 yearssince an Emperor Penguin was last seen there.Researchers at the Department ofConservation were called in.They decided to watch the penguin closely，but not todisturb it in any way.Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at theelegant penguin.They were careful to keep their dogs away from him so he wouldntbe frightened.The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet.Researchers started to notice thatHappy Feet didnt seem well.It turned out that he had been eating the sand from thebeach，likely thinking it was snow.The public raised more than 11，000 pounds for an operation to get the sand outof his stomach.The operation was a success，and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo inWellington，NZ.A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to thewild.They put him on a boat called the Tangaroa，in a specially built icefilled boxand took him out into the Southern Ocean，southeast of New Zealand.There，theyreleased him into the ocean，which is his natural habitat.He took one last look at hishuman helpers and then dived into the ocean.“Emperor Penguins spend their first five years at sea，”said Peter Simpson ofNew Zealands Department of Conservation.“What happens now is up to thepenguin.”Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机)so they can monitorhis progress using the Internet.So far，the trackers show that he swam northeast for alittle while before getting his bearings and heading south.4Where is the young penguin supposed to

I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funnythings occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of otherpsychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.Whensomeone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes himlaughand the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started tomake fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their hearts out.The mainreason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towardspedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasnt only funny，it also made theaudience 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 happinessexperienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes otherpsychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one ofyour friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes yourfriend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werentjealous of him.In short，we dont laugh only when we hear something funny；we also laughwhen we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychologicalfactors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittlingsomeone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your jokesupports a persons emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.8What did the author find out after studying psychology?AOnly good jokes make people laugh.BMany factors lead to people laughing.CFunny things can make people laugh.DLaughter can make people healthy.9Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?AThey played a trick on the pedestrians.BThe pedestrians behaved in a funny way.CThey could feel the pedestrians happiness.DTheir emotion was approved of by the show.10What does the underlined word“belittling”probably mean?AAnnoy.BBlame.CLook down on.DMake up to.11What is the authors attitude towards those who take pleasure in making funof others?ADefensive.BIndifferent.CNegative.DCasual.DRick Anderson says he isnt scared of sharks and he is appealing to others tolearn to love them.“I try to convince people that looking at a shark eye to eye is totally different tositting on a surfboard or a boat looking at every shadow that goes underneath thinkingits a shark coming to get them，”he said.“Eye to eye they look at you，you look atthem and you go your own way.”“I find that once people see their first sharks，their whole attitude changes.Theyrealize that they are not as scary as what they thought they were，”Mr.Andersonsaid.He compares sharks to dogs，in the way they show their behavior and attitudetowards humans.“Youre not going to go up to a dog that is arching(拱起)its back andmaking a low sound in the throat at you，”he said.“If a shark is arching and itsfins(鳍)are down，its telling you to move on.”He admits he thought the shark wastrying to attack him the first few times.Mr.Anderson is against the controversial policy introduced in Western Australiato kill a shark if it presents a threat to humans.He said many of the same things thatoccur in WesternAustralia are also happening in New South Wales.Mr.Anderson said that sharks come closer to shore because they are attracted tothe smell of whale carcasses(尸体)which have broken down after being buried in thesand on many beaches.Mr.Anderson often sees grey nurse sharks，fur seals，leopard seals，penguins andfishes of a range of colours in the Pacific Ocean along Bellingen Shire.“Depending onthe time of the year，you can get a good mixture of sea creatures moving throughthere，”he said.Tiger sharks are his favourite kind of sharks.He describes them as pigheaded but also graceful creatures.12What does Mr.Anderson probably do?AAboatman.BAdiver.CAsurfer.DAfisherman.13What does Mr.Anderson indicate by comparing sharks to dogs?ASharks have the same behavior as dogs.BSharks are naturally friendly to human beings.CSharks can be lovely creatures if properly trained.DSharks can send messages through their behavior.14What mistake did Mr.Anderson once make?AHe never looked at sharks eye to eye.BHe once saw sharks as a scary animal.CHe misunderstood a sharks arching its back.DHe didnt allow sharks to get close to shores.15What do we know about the Pacific Ocean along Bellingen Shire?AIts Mr.Andersons favorite place.BIts a popular place for tourists.CIts open in certain times of the year.DIts where Mr.Anderson trains sharks.阅读七选五(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)16You dont show your secret personality
