【题目】Make Albertsville Shine

After a long and snowy winter, spring has finally come to Albertsville. The leaves are out on the trees, and the grass is green again. All around town, people are cleaning up their homes. They are pulling weeds and planting flowers. They are sweeping yards and washing windows. Before long, Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin, right?

Definitely not. Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town. There is litter( 垃圾 ) everywhere: fast food wrappers, soft drink cans, plastic bags, and more. This litter is dirty and ugly. It takes the shine off our lovely town.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In many neighboring towns, volunteer groups “adopt(认领 )” a mile of a street or road to keep clean. The groups include schools and clubs. Volunteers pick up litter, cut bushes, wash sidewalks, and even plant flowers!

Sure, the volunteers work hard, but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town. Better yet, they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.

So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for? Talk to people in your school or club about adopting part of a street or road. Then get to work! If enough volunteer groups get busy, Albertsville really will shine this spring.

【题目】阅读理解
Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people wouldlaugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discoveredthere are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other thanthe funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually bemore than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, themore powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when theman started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed theirhearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost allof them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The jokewasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right aboutbeing angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because ofthe funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of thepsychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includesother psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, ifyou envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, atthe same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh atit louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.
In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; wealso laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from theother psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage makingfun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All Iwant to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he willcertainly like it a lot.
