　　If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．

　　The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories; the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering．In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do --- as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．

　　It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc．

　　I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．nd as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．

(1)

[　　]
A．	The Best Way to Get News

[　　]
A．	more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．	newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer．
C．	newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．	more and more people will watch TV．

(3)

What will probably be on in the newspaper made by you?
[　　]
A．	Sports and international news．
B．	menu of important news
C．	The most important news．
D．	What you are interested in

A．	newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．	newspapers will stay with us together with other media

　　Dr Wiseman started“the laugh lab”project in September 2001．It is the largest study of humour．Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people．

　　The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke．But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny．And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor．The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh．

　　This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers．Most of the time, people are not completely honest．We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want．But laughing cannot be controlled．When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves．

　　By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交)．This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions．It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance．

　　“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,”said Dr Wiseman．“Males use humor to appear superior(优越的)to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play．”

　　Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor．The British enjoy what is usually called“toilet humor”．But the French like their jokes short and sharp：“You’re a high priced lawyer．Will you answer two questions for ＄500?”“Yes．What’s the second question?”

　　The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor．But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality．Perhaps that proves the point．Is this joke funny?I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe．

　　Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer．But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing．Perhaps this is relief．Computers already seem like they can do everything．At least they should leave the funny stuff to us．

(1)

Scientist started“the laugh lab”project ________
[　　]
A．	to find the funniest joke in European countries
B．	to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures
C．	to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor

B．	Male and female have similar senses of humour．
C．	About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001．
D．	Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions．

(3)

The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans ________．
[　　]
A．	to show that French people have a better sense of humour
B．	to prove the British people have a sense of“toilet humour”
C．	to show people from different nations have different senses of humour
D．	to prove that the Germans have no sense of humour

(4)

Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans
B．	The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing
C．	Males are better at word play compared with women
D．	Females like to use humor to show that they are superior
