But how can I get up to the top of the house?” he said to himself. He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He started climbing up. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him. “Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr. Black shouted at him.

26、 Apps are replacing teachers as technology plays a bigger role in language education. Ma Ruining has been studying English for a long time, but her teachers are not in the classroom -they're in the palms of her hands. Ma has several English learning apps, which cater to users who want to improve their English proficiency, from listening to speaking, loaded onto her smart phone.

27、 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.
