Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However，not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man，except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know，for example，how long it lasted，but we presume that he attended the local grammar school，where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend，he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner，Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher，but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth，the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there，but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In_time ， as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre，they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.

【题目】Parents often assume that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence. But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents, private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years. And that may raise a teenager’s self-esteem (自尊) an social confidence, especially if it is time spent with Dad, the researchers added.
The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16 school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate. In each family, a teenager, a younger sibling, their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years.
The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers, the kids reported they felt better about themselves. Something about the father’s role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study, said study author Susan McHale, a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University.
“Time spent with Dad often involves joking, teasing and other playful interactions. Fathers, as compared to mothers, were more involved in leisure activities and had more friend-like interactions with their children, which is crucial for youth social development,” the study showed.
But Marta Flaum, a psychologist in Chappaqua , New York, said, “How these findings reflect the real world is a real question. The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of more families in the country today that I’m not sure how much we can generalizing from it. In my community, in Westchester County, I don’t see parents and teenagers spending much time together at all. Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids.”
However, Flaum encourages parents tom make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do. “Research like this reminds us of how importantitis. The time we have with them is so short, ” she said.
【1】According to the study, when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers, ________.
A. their social skills will be improved
B. their fathers will better understand them
C. they will be willing to help their siblings
D. their family will spend more time together
【2】What is Flaun’s attitude towards the findings of the study?
A. Unconcerned B. Favorable C. Puzzled D. Skeptical
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A. The research by Susan McHale.
B. The work to be done.
C. Parents’ encouragement.
D. Parents’ making time for their kids.
【4】Where is the passage more likely to have been taken from?
A. A science magazine B. A news report
C. A research plan D. an advertisement

【题目】Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and 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 to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience 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 happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.
In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.
【1】What did the author find out after studying psychology?
A. Only good jokes make people laugh
B. Many factors lead to people laughing.
C. Funny things can make people laugh
D. Laughter can make people healthy.
【2】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 approved of by the show.
【3】What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?
A. Speak highly of B. Get close to
C. Look down on D. Feel content with
【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

Everyone should take the action to reduce haze(雾霾)，which is harmless to our health．First of all，I believe that if we plant more tree，there will be less haze in their city．Trees can absorb exhaust fumes(尾气)from cars，thus reduce pollution．Second，the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes．Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to people’s health．Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live．Third，I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation．Last but not least，we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short journeys.
