    The world has never faced so much trouble before. People are        within themselves about natural resources, territories and especially religions. In my opinion, laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to       humanity without religions. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world      . The idea may sound over-ambitious, and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep       that laughter and only the laughter can unite the world, holding up a       sense of brotherhood and friendship.
    Studies also show that laughter helps your body to do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart,       for those who are unable to perform       exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.

    试题分析：本文为说明文，文章向我们介绍了“世界大笑日”的功能和重要性。“世界大笑日”诞生于印度，是为世界和平而开展的一项积极的活动。其目的是通过开怀大笑来增进世人之间兄弟般的情谊。如今恐怖分子的袭击遍及全世界，加之其他方面的压力使得人们更加需要“大笑”这门全球通用的语言。
    小题1:C in peace处于和平中；in difficulty处在困境中；at war处在交战中，among challenge
    处于挑战中。根据上文说“世界上以前从来没有面临这么多的麻烦”可见“人类为了自然资源、领土、宗教信仰在与人类自己交战。”
    小题2:A unite团结；unfold展开，打开；release释放；handle处理。这儿说的是微笑作为世界通用的语言的功能：它不需要什么宗教信仰就能够把人类团结起来。下文“laughter and only the laughter can unite the world”也可以验证答案。
    小题3:D position位置，地位，职位；ruler尺，直尺，统治者；size大小，尺寸；order命令，秩序，规则，制度，次序。笑声可以在各种宗教宗教信仰之间建立正常的联系，并创建一个新的世界秩序。
    小题4:A belief相信，信念；advice建议；intention意图，目的，意向，意义；plan计划。上文说“这种想法(笑声可以在各种宗教宗教信仰之间建立正常的联系，并创建一个新的世界秩序)听上去也许野心勃勃。也许是这样，但也许不是”。下文接着说“我们坚信笑声也只有笑声才能把世界团结起来……”。
    小题5:D safe安全的；humorous和谐的；common 共同的；global全球的，世界范围的。这儿所说的“……的意识/理念”应该与“安全意识”、“和谐意识”以及“常识”无关。故选D项。坚持世界之内皆兄弟般友谊的理念。
    小题6:C partly部分地；intensively强烈地，集中地；especially特别地；universally普遍地，一般地。上文 “研究表明大笑对于你的身体有下列益处：降低血压，缓解沮丧感，减轻紧张感，锻炼心脏功能”，上文所说的这些应该对“不能参加体育(体力方面的)锻炼的人特别地有益”。
    小题7:C mental精神上的；heart心脏的；physical体力的；morning上午，早晨的。上文 “研究表明大笑对于你的身体有下列益处：降低血压，缓解沮丧感，减轻紧张感，锻炼心功能”，上文所说的这些应该对“不能参加体育(体力方面的)锻炼的人特别地有益”。

    People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.
    I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
    Why do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview -as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.
    There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
    We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.
    小题1:What are the stars like according to the author?
    A． They always treat others rudely.
    B． They always talk about something dull.
    C． They are acutually ordinary people.
    D． They are usually honest and polite,
    小题2:We worship stars because ______.
    A,  we need true mental heroes to support us
    B.  we can learn something useful from famous stars
    C.  we concern about the stars ，family and friends
    D.  we like talking about the stars ，dressing styles
    小题3:When the author is writing this article ，his tone sounds  ______.
    A,  excited B. angry    C. worried  D. calm
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?
    A． To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
    B． To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.
    C． To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.
    D． To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.

    People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food.
    Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and others are not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meat section. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of the section, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section.
    The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers（包装盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most.
    Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money.
    小题1:The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _______ .
    A．the entrance of a supermarket
    B．the place where you pay for your goods
    C．the way between the shelves
    D．the place where the special priced meat is on sale.
    小题2:When you walk by the expensive meat, _______ .
    A．maybe you will buy someB．you will not look at it
    C．you will buy diary productsD．maybe it is on sale
    小题3:The three different kinds of low-fat milk _______ .
    A．contain three different amount of milk
    B．contain three different kinds of milk
    C．each have the same amount of fat
    D．are all the same price
    小题4:Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _______ .
    A．it is cheap
    B．the customers will buy more
    C．it is expensive
    D．it is in the diary section

    According to new research，there could be a social hierarchy（等级）attached to where people stand in the lift．More senior men stand at the back，young men in the middle and women of all ages at the front．
    Most people know that awkward feeling when you shuffle（拖着鞋走）into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact．
    But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up or down．
    A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social hierarchy，established within seconds of entering the lift．
    Rebekah Rousi，a Ph．D．student in cognitive science，conducted all ethnographic study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide，Australia．
    As part of her research，she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings，and discovered there was an established order to where people tended to stand．
    In a blog for Ethnography Matters，she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins．
    She said，“In front of them were younger men，and in front of them were women of all ages．”
    She also noticed there was a difference in where people directed their gaze half way through the ride．
    Men watched the monitors，looked in the side mirrors（in one building）to see themselves，and in the door mirrors（of the other building）to also watch others．
    Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users（unless in conversation）and the mirrors，she writes．
    The doctorate student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front，where they can’t see other passengers，whereas bolder people stand in the back，where they have a view of everyone else．
    小题1:According to the passage，where do women likes to stand in the lift?
    A．At the back．B．At the front．
    C．In the middle．D．On the right．
    小题2:What causes people to feel uncomfortable when entering the an elevator?
    A．The manner people went into the lift．
    B．The limited space in the lift．
    C．The subconscious power struggle.
    D．The micro social hierarchy．
    小题3:Why did Rebekah Rousi take 30 lift rides in buildings in Adelaide，Australia?
    A．To enjoy the tallest office building．
    B．To make a study of elevator behavior．
    C．To go to work there．
    D．To experience the ride by elevator．
    小题4:Which of following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
    A．Women are more attentive than men in the lift．
    B．Both women and men like to watch the monitors in the lift．
    C．The shyer you are，the more likely you are to stand at the back in the lift．
    D．Why where you stand in the lift reflects your social status．

    Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating (酝酿) the problem in your subconscious (潜意识) yet can't account for why it occurs.
    When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn't quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you're experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you've forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you're relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.
    You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. The letter should read just like a letter you would send to a real person. Seal the letter and put it away.
    Let go of the problem. Don't work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.
    An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign to introduce new television shows. Bob, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind. He called his subconscious mind "Secret Expert".
    Secret Expert,
    I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of TV shows. I'm interested in coming up with some kind of campaign that will capture the audience's attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need a fresh approach to advertising. Your mission is to give me a new idea on how to advertise TV shows.
    Thanks, Bob
    Bob mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on "eggs". Somehow an association between "foods", "need", and "fresh" approach" inspired the thought of using "fresh eggs to advertise". He arranged to place laser imprints of the slogans for the TV shows on eggs —some thirty million.
    The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It's unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you're looking at it while you're using it.
    小题1:You remember names when you're not thinking about them because your subconscious mind ____.
    A．is still workingB．is full of names
    C．stops workingD．improves your memory
    小题2:Which of the following was included in Bob's letter to his subconscious mind?
    A．How the solution could be found.
    B．When he would need its help.
    C．What product could be advertised
    D．What he wanted it to do
    小题3:During the incubation stage, your focused awareness _____.
    A．waits for an answerB．controls your thoughts
    C．doesn't workD．helps your unconscious
    小题4: In what way did the ad on eggs help?
    A．It helped Bob to get a brainstorm
    B．It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.
    C．It greatly increased the sales of eggs.
    D．It made sure consumers could get fresh eggs.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A．Difference between Subconscious and Awareness
    B．A fresh Approach to Advertising
    C．Communicating with Your Subconscious Mind
    D．Solving problems with your Subconscious Mind

    I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather surprising. Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behaviors and theirs in this respect. Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want, from ice creams, sweets and toys to endless attention from the adults around them. Is this a sort of spoiling or love? I wonder.
    Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love. We think love means educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life. That includes learning to accept the fact that he can't get everything he wants. As an adult, he will not always get the quite expensive car he hunts for; she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress she longs for. So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not getting what they want.
    I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard. Without doubt, the child is the very center of a whole circle of adults, but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying according to adults' wishes. Many children of my son's age take piano lessons, painting classes and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning anything is a waste of time. So in this respect our children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed to play. But without this sort of play how can western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the children’s future life.
    小题1:In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled?
    A．They can be supported by their parents.
    B．They can play whenever they want.
    C．They need not behave themselves.
    D．Their demands can always be satisfied.
    小题2:In the author's opinion, the life of a Chinese child is         .
    A．rather hardB．rather easyC．independentD．colorful
    小题3:The author thinks Western children appear spoiled because         .
    A．they can manage time by themselves
    B．they can have the freedom to play
    C．they can take piano lessons
    D．they may have expensive toys
    小题4:The best title of the passage could be         .
    A．Chinese children's early education
    B．How to develop kids' imagination
    C．What is the real love for children
    D．The imagination and creativity

    One way to sell stuff is to make things that people want to buy. Another way is to offer “free trials” and then hit customers with bills. This brings us to PDC Education Ltd, run by Rebecca Jordan and Kirsty Weir of Leeds, whose website teaching-resources-uk.com offers teaching plans for teachers.
    Rosemarie Brady, finance manager of Rutlish School in Merton, southwest London, tells us that one teacher called Amanda Seyfried downloaded the “free” resources. “Unfortunately in very small print, they state that unless the free trial is cancelled, then you will be charged,” she says.
    A year has gone by and now they’ve been sent a second bill for 500 pounds, just because they forgot to cancel the “free trial”.
    Merton Council—and it’s not the only one—has sent a warning to all its schools saying: “ Only in the very (easily missed) small print of the terms and conditions is it explained that, after the 14-day trial, schools will be automatically signed for a two-year contact with the company.”
    “This will only be stopped if the teacher who requested the trial writes directly to PDC to cancel before the 14 days have expired(期满). The fee can be as much as hundreds of pounds, with the threat of debt recovery if they are not paid.”
    Among the online complaints is this one from a teacher. “How disappointed I am that they will not even consider seriously re-negotiating the invoice(清单).”
    Rebecca Jordan of PDC Education said, “ The whole purpose behind the free trial is that we have confidence in our business. This free trial period gives teachers the chance to see what is on offer without having to commit to a payment.”
    Only a “very small number” of teachers have complained when they receive an invoice, she added. “ Their only complaint is that they have not checked what they are signing up to but that is not our fault, the position is totally clear. The prices and the trial terms are clear to see on the online sign up page.”
    It’s true the terms and conditions are on their website. But perhaps it’s unhelpful that they run to almost 3000 words.
    小题1:We know from the passage that____________.
    A．Merton Council suggests that PDC Education Ltd should be closed down
    B．the website teaching-resources-uk.com uses tricks to cheat people out of money
    C．the users complained that they had not been informed of writing to PDC earlier
    D．the education website promises to enlarge their warning print and cut down the term
    小题2: Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards PDC?
    A．CriticalB．ReservedC．DoubtfulD．Positive
    小题3: What might be the best title for the passage?
    A．An education websiteB．A lesson in “free” trials
    C．A mysterious invoiceD．Traps on the web

    As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious(叛逆)on the outside,      on the inside I wanted people to     .
