25、There’s an old saying: “Laughter is the best medicine,” and modern research certainly shows that laughing is good for you. When you have a good laugh, you exercise your muscles (肌肉), strengthen your heart and balance your body chemistry. However, these are the results of having a laugh, not the explanations (解释) of why we do it.
Until recently, scientists believed that laughter was a human behavior only. They argued that people find jokes funny because we can put ourselves in another person’s shoes, and that animals can’t do that. People don’t all have the same sense of humor. Sometimes there isn’t any joke; but we laugh because the people around us are laughing. How long and how loud we would laugh are also shared. We just go on following the example with one another until the laughter fades away (消失).
Many pet owners insist that animals have a sense of humor, too. For example, pet dogs often run away with a slipper (拖鞋), inviting their owners to run after them. Dogs even seem to smile when their owners join in the game. As the game continues, our pets make noises that are very like laughter. You can compare this behavior to the laughter of a baby, waits for the adult to pick it up and throws it down again.
Perhaps laughter is just a sign that we are having fun. Fun, like laughter, is the best when we share it with friends.
【1】What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The causes of having a laugh.
B．The results of having a laugh.
C．Different ways of having a laugh.
【2】Scientists believed that ________.
A．people have the same sense of humor
B．both humans and animals can find jokes funny
C．sometimes some people laugh because people around them do so
【3】What can we know from the behavior of pet dogs?
A．Pet dogs are very naughty.
B．Animals have a sense of humor, too.
C．Animals are more humorous than human beings.
【4】When a baby throws a toy down, waits for the adults to pick it up and throws it down again, he will be ________.
A．nervous
B．angry
C．happy
【5】What does the writer encourage us to do?
A．Share fun with friends.
B．Play games with babies.
C．Make friends with animals.

27、This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly(坚决地): No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I should have a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year when the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
【1】________ helped me decide what my report would be about.
A. My classmates B. A coin
C. My grandpa D. The Internet
【2】I read my homework proudly because ________.
A. I believed my homework was excellent
B. I was good at my lessons
C. my classmates wore big smiles on their faces
D. my grandfather was always right
【3】I ________ after I failed the subject.
A. worked harder to prove my ability
B. did my homework a second time
C. was so frightened at the awful result
D. decided to give it up
【4】We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A. the headmaster wasn’t a good person at all
B. the writer’s classmates were cleverer than him
C. the writer knew little about American history
D. the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man
【5】Which of the following can best describe the writer?

After dinner, tea and fruit are usually served. When the guests want to leave, the host may still politely ask them to stay. They don’t have to take it【9】 (serious) and they can try to find a good time to leave. This doesn’t mean that【10】 (leave) early is always a good idea as the host may feel that the guests are not satisfied with the treat. Finding the right time to leave depends on the situation.
