11、 old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and downthe passage with a flashlight.I asked a few times what was wrong,but she didntanswer at first she couldnt hear me.She was wearing a woolen coat.Judgingfrom her accent,she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost?Thous

12、ands,especially for the new tinyhidden-in-the-ear type she described.It takes a long time for an appointment tomake new one and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right.Therefore,mydignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid.But how does one finda tiny black object in a sha

13、dowy jet cabin?The lady wasnt even sure where or when she had lost it.At one point,a coupleoff light attendants did a random search around the ladys seat;I wasnt impressed.They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight!My flashlightturned up all kinds of small objects,bits of p

14、lastic,broken pieces of headphones.The old lady said that she gave up.Yet I couldnt.After we landed,as passengersstreamed past us,I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair.Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and onthe floor.Look!A little

19、le deer withsharp antlers(角)on each side of its head.As the car moved closer,Alexissaw that the deers head was bent toward the ground.Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head.Alexis realizedthe deer was attacking a woman.Sue,a 44-year-old mother,had been out for her morningr

27、nine lives.Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍)has joinedthat club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargoshipment from China to Cape Town,after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器)candlestick（烛台）that was made there.South African officials reportedly planned t

28、o put downthe creature,fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let goin the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon.Mango Airlines,a South African airline,transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter,after officials decided to find a way t

29、o let the toad live.The two-hour fight wasa breeze compared to the trip from China,a long way of many weeks and thousandsof kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got“first-class treatment”,sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby,an

30、 animalwelfare inspector.There was even a ceremony,in which the toads boarding passwas handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,”Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的)passenger.“I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg,the toad was brought out of its

31、container for acelebrity-style photo shoot.Observers said the brown toad seemed like a coolcustomer.It belongs to the Asian Toad species,which breeds during the monsoon(季风)season.It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening itsskin to prevent it from drying out,and also by slowin

35、 a toadD.droughts make toads live longerDBefore 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.When someone laughs

36、 at a joke,there will usually be more than one reason that makeshim laughand the more reasons there are,the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt,and when the man started tomake fun of pedestrians crossing streets,everyone laughed their hearts out.Themain rea

37、son those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angrytowards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasnt only funny,it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at thosepedestrians.That is,people were laughing both because of the funny joke a

38、nd becauseof 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 otherpsychological factors,the more the person will like it.For example,if you envyone of your friends,and someone tells a joke that is funny and,at

39、 the same time,makes your friend seem stupid,then you will probably laugh at it louder than ifyou werent jealous of him.In short,we dont laugh only when we hear something funny;we also laugh whenwe experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychologicalfactors involved in the jok

40、e.I strongly discourage making fun of anyone orbelittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if yourjoke supports a persons emotions,he will certainly like it a lot.32.What did the author find out after studying psychology?A.Only good jokes make people laughB.Many facto

41、rs lead to people laughing.C.Funny things can make people laughD.Laughter can make people healthy.33.Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A.They played a trick on the pedestrians.B.The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C.They could feel the pedestrians happiness.D.Their emotion was ap

42、proved of by the show.34.What does the underlined word“belittling”probably mean?A.Annoy B.Blame C.Look down on D.Make up to35.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?第二节第二节（共（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1010 分）分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。While going through

43、life with the pursuit(追求)of money on our mind,were oftentold that money cant buy happiness.But what truth is there in the saying?Is therea relation between money and happiness?36Humans are very sensitive to change.When we get a rise,we really enjoy it.Butsome studies have shown that in North America

44、,additional income beyond 75,000dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness.37 They often end up spendingall the money,going into debt,and experience ruined social relationships.So surely money cant really buy happiness.Well,recent studies suggest that theproblem may actually be in the way t

45、hat we spend money.38 Studies show that peoplewho spend their money on others feel happier.As for the people who spend money onthemselves,their happiness is unchanged.39 0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large checkto a charity,dividing the amount up among employees,all

46、owing them to contributeto a charity of their choice,increased their job satisfaction.Similarly,individuals that spend money on each other,as opposed to themselves,not onlyincrease job satisfaction,but improve the team performance.40 Interestingly,the specific way money is spent on others isnt impor

47、tant.Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.A.The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.B.Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.C.Instead of buying things for yourself,try giving some of it to other
