    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．Annoy

    B．Blame

    C．Look down on

    D．Make up to

    4.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

    A． B． C． D．

    It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming terrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.

    Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed (头脑冷静的) drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when they are forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

    However, misplaced（用错了地方的） politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

    An experienced driver told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages( 拥堵) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone（更不用说） master the roadman ship ( 公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give and take( 互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

    1.The passage mainly talks about______________________.

    A. traffic jams B. good manners

    C. road politeness D. modern drivers

    2.Troubles on the road are often caused by__________________.

    A. traffic jams

    B. the behavior of the drivers

    C. the great speed of modern life

    D. terrible road conditions

    3.According to the writer, a good driver should___________________.

    A. encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to

    B. beat back when forced to face rude driving

    C. be able to recognize road politeness when he sees it

    D. join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel

    4.It is not right for drivers to_________.

    A. master the roadmanship

    B. join in a traffic stream

    C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

    D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

    The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view？”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

    If you come by right now, ”the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

    I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car .But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

    In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

    When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

    “How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently. “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, ”the assistant said. “The artwork？”I was puzzled.

    The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was！At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

    What a relief!

    B. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

    C. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

    D. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.

    3.Why did the author suddenly smile?

    A. Because the assistant kept comforting her.

    B. Because she could relax in the chair.

    C. Because the dentist came at last.
