18．It was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court．
       Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China．For those who don't，it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent：
Dear son，
       The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health，have patience and try to understand me．
        If  I get dirty when eating，if I can not dress，please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you．If，when I speak to yo u，I repeat the same things thousand and one times，do not interrupt me，listen to me．When you were small，I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep．When I do not want to have a shower，neither shame me nor scold me．Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn't want to bathe．When you see my knowing little about new technologies，give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking（嘲弄）．I taught you how to do so many things：to eat food，to dress well，to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation，let me have the necessary time to remember，and if I cannot do it，do not become nervous，as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me．
       If ever I do not want to eat，do not force me．I know well when I need to and when not．When my tired legs do not allow me to walk，give me your hand，the same way I did when you gave your first step．And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any m ore----that I want to rest forever，do not get angry．Someday you will understand．
       Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived．Some day you will discover that，despite my mistakes，I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you．Please be next to me，try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living．I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you．
   I love you，son．

As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door．He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside．"Bigwoods Football Pools（足球赌博公司）would like to congratulate you．You have won half a million pounds．"
Frank suddenly came to life．The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street．
At 11：30Frank arrived at work．"Please explain why you're so late，"his boss said．"Go and jump in the lake，"replied Frank．"I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye．Find yourself someone else to shout at．"
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar（雪茄） when a knock was heard on the door．He rushed to the door．Outside were two men，neatly（整洁） dressed in grey suits．"Mr．Smithson，"one of them said，"we're from Bigwoods Football Pools．I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

6．Every language has its own special words and expressions．And a story can be told about each of them．"Hot"is a simple，easily-understood word．So are most of the expressions made with the word"hot"．But not always，as we shall see．
Take the phrase"hot potato"for example．The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States．Many people like baked potatoes，cooked in an oven or fire．Imagine trying to carry a hot，baked potato in your hand．It would be difficult，even painful，to do so．One such hot potato is taxes．Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician．And yet，if taxes are not raised，some very popular government programs could be cut，which can also make a politician very unpopular．
Another expression is"not so hot"．If you ask someone how she feels，she may answer："Not so hot．"What she means is that she does not feel well．"Not so hot"is also a way of saying that you do not really like something．
"A hot shot"is a person，often a young person，who thinks he can do anything．At least he wants to try．He is very sure he can succeed．But often he fails．The expression came from the army．A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully．
A person who becomes angry easily is called"a hothead"．An angry person's neck often becomes red．We say he is"hot under the collar"．You could say that your friend is no hothead．But he got hot under the collar when someone took his radio．
The hot line was a direct communication link between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States．The hot line had an important purpose：to prevent accidental war between the two competitors during the period known as the Cold War．The American president and the Soviet leader were able to communicate directly and immediately on the hot line．

13．This is a true story that happened in Japan．In order to repair the house，a Japanese tore open the walls．Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls．When pulling down the walls，he found that there was a lizard（蜥蜴） staying there because a nail（钉子） from outside was hammered into one of its feet．He saw this，feeling pity and curious．When he checked the nail，he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built．
     What happened？The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years!It has been in a dark wall partition（夹层） for 10 years without moving!Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard：What has it been doing？What and how has it been eating？Later，he didn't know from where another lizard appeared，with food in its mouth．Ah!He was astonished and touched deeply．The free lizard had been feeding it for the past 10 year s．
     Such love，a beautiful love!Such love happened with this tiny creature…What can love do？It can do wonders!Just think about it：one lizard had been feeding the other for 10 long years，without giving up hop e on its partner．If a small creature like a lizard can love like this，just imagine how we can love if we try．

3．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．

25．What did the author find out after studying psychology？B
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．
26．Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians？D
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．
27．What does the underlined word"belittling"probably mean？C
A．Annoy           B．Blame     
C．Look down on    D．Make up to
28．What is the author's attitude towards those who take pleasure in making fun of others？C
A．defensive        B．indifferent   
C．negative         D．casual．

8．As we all know，it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence （《独立宣言》）．He wrote it in two weeks，and after a few changes，it was accepted by the Congress （国会）．As a result，he became famous．
Born in Virginia，Thomas Jefferson，a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later，was much interested in politics．
Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779，and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784．Sixteen years later，at the age of 57，he was elected president after Washington and Adams．
Far from a handsome man，he was tall with long arms and big hands．Jefferson，who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker，was generally good-natured．
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America．As a president，he protected the right of free speech．Interestingly enough，in his eight years as president，Jefferson never vetoed （否决） a bill which the Congress had passed．He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia．
