15．For 52 years my father got up at 5：30 am every morning，went to work，and returned home at 5：30 pm．I never saw my father stayed home from work ill，nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap．He had no hobbies，other thantaking care of his family．All he asked from me，his daughter，was to help him while he was repairing something，so we could have some time to talk．

On the morning of January 16，1996，my sister telephoned me：my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤） in Florida．I got on an airplane immediately，and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to．I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived，I would have a long talk with him．I arrived in Florida at 1：00 am，only to find that my father，at the age of 76，had passed away at 9：12 pm．This time it was he who did not have time to talk，or time to wait for me．

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．

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．

A．Annoy           B．Blame     
C．Look down on    D．Make up to

4．There are four possible birth order positions within a family．A child may be the oldest，the youngest or the（41）Achild，or an only child （42）Cno brothers or sisters．Birth order theory says that our birth order influences what kind of person we each（43）AChildren in each birth position have a （44）Bway to gain an advantage in the family．The oldest children often get more time with their parents．They always try to be （45）A and do everything correctly．The youngest children are used to other people providing for them．They may be more（46）Aabout themselves than about other people．As for middle children，they can sometimes feel left out，since the don't get the （47）Cof being the oldest or the youngest．Some middle children become competitive and even rebel against （反抗） their parents．（48）Cmany of them make peace in the family．

10．Halloween Coming Out
"A man was shot in the face during a bank robbery．"That was the news about me five years ago．From then on I never looked in a （36）A； it even scared myself when seeing my destroyed face．I lived in my house alone without outside contact．But one night I was making an （37）D．It was Halloween．
What a fitting night for me to （38）C!I longed for human contact．When my pumpkin lantern smiled a toothy welcome in my front door，I heard footsteps and giggling（咯咯的笑） as children came close to my house．
"Trick or treat，"they cried．
My hands started to （39）A．I opened the door and gave them a （40）B  smile through my damaged lips beneath a rough scar where my nose once （41）B．
"Do you want a trick，or do you want a treat？"My voice sounded more like a ghost．The （42）C  expression on the children's faces suggested everything．
"Treat!"They （43）D  picked a candy or two from my bucket，and ran to the （44）A  of their parents．
I closed the door，and pressed my back against it．I felt dizzy，but I （45）D  it．Then the bell rang．"Trick or treat．"a （46）A  voice came to me．I opened the door to find a small girl，wearing a Shirley Temple mask．
"Hi，Shirley．"I spoke quietly not to （47）B  her．"Aren't you beautiful tonight？"
She stared at her feet and shook her head，"No．"
"Yes，you are．You're Shirley Temple，the most beautiful girl in the world．"
She looked up at me，and pulled her （48）C to the side．Seeing her deformed（变形的） face，my heart missed a beat．
"Well，I think you are beautiful，darling．"I said gently．
At the words，her eyes connected with mine．An uncertain hand reached toward my bucket and took one piece of candy．"Thank you．"Her voice was a （49）B．She turned and ran to her mother．I nodded my head to her mother and gave them both a （50）B．
I closed my door and turned off my gate lamp．My （51）D  life began again．
The next morning I heard my doorbell ring．I tried to ignore it，（52）C  it rang again．I went to the door and called out，"Who's there？"
"It's Shirley Temple and her Mom．"
I opened the door in a few （53）C  and looked．It was the woman and her daughter without her mask．Before I spoke，the mother said，"My girl said she wanted to meet you．"I watched tears start to （54）A  in the mother's eyes．"This is her first time outside without her mask．"
I pulled the door open and that was also the first time in five years for me to invite someone into my（55）D．
