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

C．They could feel the pedestrians'happiness．

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．"

7．Clean your ears，because airport security might soon be scanning them．According to a recent discovery，the shape of ears could provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports．
Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them．The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures （结构） of the ear and measures them．Professor Mark Nixon，a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton，believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates，for example，by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears．Comparing the results against a database of ear shapes，the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers．
Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy．
Besides ear scanning，there have been other systems developed for identity recognition．
"With facial recognition，the systems are often confused by crows feet （鱼尾纹） and other signs of ageing，"Nixon said．"Your ears，however，age very gracefully．They grow proportionally （按比例） and your lobe （耳垂） gets a bit larger，but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth．"What's more，facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up．
An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to retina （视网膜） scanning，which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range．
Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone．Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person．"
56．The ear scanning system would help to find outC
A．where you come from                          
B．whether you are healthy
C．who you are                                                       
D．who shares your ear shape
57．The article does not sayD．
A．who developed the system                            
B．how the system works
C．where the system can be applied                
D．how long the system took to develop
58．Ear scanning would work better than facial recognition mainly becauseB
A．the ear scanning system is computerized 
B．ears change less with age than faces
C．facial expressions are often the same                 
D．facial appearances aren't unique
59．The underlined word"invasive"in the last but one paragraph possibly means"D"．
A．comfortable          
B．expensive                 
C．disappointing                 
D．annoying
60．Nixon has developed the ear scanning system while there's already the fingertip detection becauseC．
A．ear scanning can be used at airports                  
B．fingertip detection is not so convenient
C．he doesn't think one system is enough      
D．ear shapes are easier to read than fingerprints．
8．Why is setting goals important？（71）E Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals．（72）F It's like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of in this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which can be found in a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver．But she drivers aimlessly around．Never getting anywhere，just using up gas．Which driver do you want to e？
（73）BThey decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren't difficult to set，and they aren't difficult to reach．（74）CYou are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life．
（75）AWritten goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal．
A．Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it．
B．Winners in life set goals and follow through．
C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are．
D．It's difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map．
E．Because goals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in life．[F．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．
G．Because everybody should have a goal in his mind．
