4.This past Christmas season,I went to visit my parents.During the visit,l found the letters written by my parents to each other during the war in the attic (阁楼).The letters were piled high,dirty and had not been touched for decades.I asked mother and father if I could take the letters back to my home.They agreed.
As I opened each letter,all of them beautiful with age,I discovered a new page in this private part of my parents'lives.My father served in the army.His letters were full of frontline (前线) descriptions,and they continued all the way through the battle.Each of my mother's letters was sealed (密封) with her lipstick kiss.Father wrote that he sealed his return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss.How they had been missing each other!I finished reading six months of the letters and discovered there were at least eleven months missing.Maybe they were lost forever.
Not long after our Christmas visit,Father became very ill and was in hospital.I went to the hospital to see him.As I sat by his bedside,he told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had meant to him when he had been so far from home.
Later that evening,Mother and I revisited the attic in search of the lost letters.Finally we dug them out of Mother's old college trunk (皮箱).The next day was Valentine's Day,and we went to the hospital.At my father's bedside,I showed him an old envelope.His curiosity was aroused.When he carefully opened the letter,he recognized it and his eyes were filled with tears.He read the love messages that had been delivered years before to my mother in a quavery (颤抖的) voice.This Valentine's Day,we were lucky that we had everything.

3.A sense of humor is something highly valued.A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident.However,humor is a double-edged sword.Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others.
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood.They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations.They often make fun of their common experiences,and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes.The basic message they deliver is:We're all alike,we find the same things funny,and we're all in this together.
Put-down humor,on the other hand,is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing.When it's aimed against politicians,as it often is,it's extremely funny and mostly harmless.But in the real world,it may have a harmful effect.An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend.When challenged about their teasing,the put-down jokers might claim that they are"just kidding,"thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility.This type of humor,though considered by some people to be socially acceptable,may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships.
Finally,in hate-me humor,the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others.This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley-both of whom suffered for their success in show business.A small amount of such humor is charming,but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem,and fosters depression and anxiety.
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being.In certain cases,it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships.

21.In bonding humor,people create a relaxing atmosphere byA.
A.joking about experiences they share
B.showing their personal relationships
C.teasing experiences of their friends
D.laughing at other's misfortunes
22.Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor?C
A.Comedians.B.Jokers.C.Politicians.D.Actors.
23.In the passage,the author mainly conveysB.
A.humor can be classified into three kinds
B.humor has its bright side and dark side
C.humor deserves to be studied
D.humor is highly valued.
