8.You probably laugh at something you find funny,but how much do you really know about jokes and humour?Reader's Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.
RD:What's the oldest joke in the world?
"We can't know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,"says Christie Davies,professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK.The oldest joke book that's been found so far is the Greek Philogelos.It dates from the 4th century AD,although the jokes date from an earlier time.According to psychogist Steve Wilson,director of National Humor Month ( April in the US ),it contains 265jokes.
RD:Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?
Rod Martin,professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada,believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour,as we develop,humour and laughter begin to appear."Of course,some children are more serious,quiet,and less likely to laugh frequently,but this doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour."And according to Steve Wilson,there are no adults who don't have a sense of humour."Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour,and I teach people how,"he says.
RD:Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?
Sense of humour does differ a lot by country,according to an author named Scott Weems.British humour is thought to be absurd in nature,while American humour has an aggressive quality.According to a study,Germans are found to find everything funny.

A.Nobody is born with a sense of humour.
B.Some adults lose it when they grow up.
C.Childhood is the best time to develop such ability.

9.Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly,flies like a fat chicken,eats green leaves,has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6 m above the river,an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young.It is called the hoatzin.
In appearance,the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside.The head is small,with a large set of feathers on the top,bright red eyes,and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds,cuckoos.Its most striking feature,though,is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak (喙),they can climb about in the bushes,looking very much like primitive birds must have done.When the young hoatzins have learned to fly,they lose their claws.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds,but in April,when the rainy season begins,they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
25.What is the text mainly about?D

D.They had a head with long feathers on the top.
28.Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?D

10.Terrible disasters in the last 50or 100years have become increasingly common.Over the last 30years,the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly,and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss.However,much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低灾难风险).
A meeting,held in Sendai,Japan last month,opened one day after Cyclone Pam(飓风Pam)hit Vanuatu,which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation.The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that.He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承诺)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks.In the face of disasters,it is always the developing countries that suffer most.Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily,there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.
In fact,we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters can't pay the price.Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost  53billon yearly over the past 20years.
At the same time,studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage.With this in mind,people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.

29.According to the first paragraph,disastersB.
A.can all be prevented             B.have become more frequent
C.are all weather-related ones     D.affect fewer people than before
30.We can know from the passage thatA.
A.The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu
B.Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake
C.The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster
D.Vanuatu is a small island in Japan
31.Which of the following can be the title of this news report?D
A.Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up.
B.The Sendai meeting has made new commitments.
C.Natural disasters have become more common.
