24、   My 10-year-old granddaughter was happy the day before yesterday because her mother took her and her friend to a park to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily---no homework, no extra-curricular (课外) skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “Olympic maths” courses.

Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw her sitting by the small desk in the room doing her homework. On the wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “Why is the exercise endless?” Poor girl!

Although teachers have stopped giving after-school homework to primary school children, parents have been forcing their kids to attend different courses-learning English, painting, “Olympic maths” and so on, every Saturday and Sunday.

Are these extra-curricular courses really necessary in children’s education? The answer is certainly “No”. Take the so-called “Olympic maths” for example. These courses are very difficult for the children to understand. Often, they are difficult even for adults.

26、   It's no secret that laughter works wonders for us. And much research has been carried out into the good that laughter can do 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, this number is around 20. But what's behind this? One theory(理论) suggests that it's not a problem of us losing our sense of humor but rather, as we grow older, we're socially conditioned to 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 in the presence of strangers. Laughter is also very contagious and one person's laugh can spread quickly throughout 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, especially in groups controlled by a powerful person. When the head teacher tells 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.It's difficult to build up connections with strangers.

C.We laugh sometimes because of social needs.

D.Powerful people are more likely to be funny.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The science of laughter

B.the power of laughter.

C.The sign of laughter.

D.The art of laughter

27、   Free lodging is provided in China, but only if you speak English. Visitors hoping to see China will get free lodging in Chinese homes if they give their English language skills to Chinese.

A Chinese organization called Tourboarding started this activity last month. Visitors must speak at least two hours of English a day in return for their keep while their Chinese hosts can learn English from them for free.

“In the past 30 days, 5,000 Chinese families have signed up,” said Ken Chen, 38, one of the founding members of Tourboarding. Chen said the aim of the organization was not to make money but to provide chances for the millions of Chinese to learn English.

Tourboarding hopes to give foreigners cheap accommodation in China, especially in Shanghai, as hotel prices have increased quickly.

Travelers can choose to exchange their language for free living, tour guiding or even Chinese cooking lessons. Yang Yang, 16, a female student in Shanghai advertises her house. “The house is next to a lake and the air is clean. We can offer single rooms for you to live in. My parents want me to invite a woman.”

Chen said Yang was just one example of a rising number of Chinese opening their homes to foreigners in the hope of improving their English.

A.get a chance to go abroad B.make more friends

C.learn English from him or her D.travel around China
