【题目】 Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the table and count out the money Papa had brought home. Mama would carefully divide big groups for the housing, and food, and one or two coins for Nels or me — Katrin to buy notebooks.

With ___________ interest we would watch the money becoming less and less. At last Papa would ask, “Is that all?” When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. For Mama would look up and smile, “It's good.” she’d say. “We do not have to go to the Bank.”

It was a wonderful thing, that bank account (银行账户) of Mama’s. We were all so proud of it. It gave us such a warm,_____________ feeling.

When finishing school Nels wanted to go on to high. “It will cost a little money,” Nels said to Mama. We gathered around the table watching a box in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank” — used for unexpected situations. Nels had it all written out. So much for what he would need. Mama looked at the ____________ for a long time. Then she counted the money in the Little Bank. There wasn’t enough. “We do not,” she said to us gently, “want to have to go to the Bank.” We all ____________ our heads.

“I’ll work in Dillon’s shop after school,” Nels _____________.

Mama smiled at him. Papa said, “It's not enough.” Then he took his pipe out of his mouth. “I give up smoking,” he said. Mama ____________ the table and touched Papa’s hand, but she didn’t say anything.

“I will mind the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “It's good,” Mama said.

We all felt very good. We had passed another milestone (绊脚石) without having to go downtown and draw money out of the bank.

So many things, I remember, came out of the Little Bank during the past 20 years. Even during the Strike () , Mama wouldn’t let us worry too much. We all worked together so that the important trip downtown could be put off.

The day the Strike was over and Papa went back to work, I saw Mama stand a little straighter, as if to get a kind out of her back.

【题目】 It's no secret that laughter works wonders for us. And much research has been carried out into the good that laughter can do for our general health and well-being. It has been found to release endorphins (释放安多芬), our bodies’natural“feel-good"chemicals, into our blood. But as we grow older, we are more likely to find fewer things funny. A child will laugh on average 300 times a day. By the time we reach adulthood, this number is around 20. But what's behind this? One theory(理论) suggests that it's not a problem of us losing our sense of humor but rather, as we grow older, we're socially conditioned to take things a bit more seriously.

Laughter is very much something we do with others. Studies have shown that we are 30 times more likely to find something funny when we are with others than when we are by ourselves. But to laugh with others, we do need to feel a connection to them. We need to feel comfortable in their company. That's why it can be difficult to laugh in the presence of strangers. Laughter is also very contagious and one person's laugh can spread quickly throughout a group of people. But often what makes us join in is the fear of standing out and being different. We laugh, even if we don' t really get the joke, especially in groups controlled by a powerful person. When the head teacher tells a joke, for example, you laugh, even though later you might wonder if the joke was really that funny at all.

There are many different reasons why we laugh. Here are three widely accepted theories:

The Incongruity Theory: It's often the unexpected that makes us laugh. When things that we are familiar with suddenly take a turn into the unknown, our expectations are challenged and that often results in laughter.

The Superiority Theory: We often find the mistakes and misfortunes of others funny. This would explain the popularity of online videos showing pranks (恶作剧).

The Relief Theory:Laugh offers light relief. It explains why there are so many jokes about the darker things in life. By being able to laugh at them, we are able to face them more easily.

A.There are fewer funny things.

B.We take things more seriously.

C.Our body releases less endorphins.

D.We gradually lose our sense of humor.

2What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.More funny things happen when we are with others.

B.It's difficult to build up connections with strangers.

C.We laugh sometimes because of social needs.

D.Powerful people are more likely to be funny.

3What is the passage mainly about?

A.The science of laughter

C.The sign of laughter.

D.The art of laughter

【题目】 In Western countries, some people think the number"13"brings bad luck. In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn't even have a 13th floor. However, there aren't really any other numbers that are special in this way in the West.

There are superstitions (A fa) about some numbers in China as well. For example, the number"4"is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for "death". But that's just one small example of China's superstitions about numbers.

When I first came here. I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually a matter of convenience, as Chinese

characters(汉字)cannot be used for website addresses. They can only use numbers or the letters of the Roman alphabet.

In pinyin, the telecom company Chine Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address,it would be quite long. So instead, they use their customer service hotline number--10010.com.This is easier to type and remember.

In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese.

This makes for some clever wordplay. For example, the numbers"5-2-0"in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase" "I love you". Many couples choose to get married on

May 20 for this reason.

It is interesting to see how Chinese people have used numbers in so many different ways.

1In the West, there are some other numbers that are like the number”13”

2The number"4" sounds like Chinese word for "death".

3In China, many websites have Chinese characters in their names

4China Unicom doesn't use "Zhongguo Liantong" as its website address because it is too long.

5Many couples choose to get married on May 20 because they will love each other more on that day.
