Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. ‎ ‎ How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.‎ ‎ I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?‎ ‎ Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.‎ ‎4. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.‎ ‎ A. it can pick up people's spirits B. it can help people get on well with others ‎ ‎ C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D. it makes people more confident ‎ ‎5.

In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.‎ ‎ A. talk about his own understanding of humor ‎ B. encourage people to be humorous in daily life ‎ C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life ‎ D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life ‎7. What is the author's attitude towards the present world?‎ ‎ A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.‎ C I met the old man at a cafe. “Did you hear the radio news yesterday?” he asked me. “No,” I replied. “Anything exciting?” “Exciting? NO! Something very sad. A group of hungry dogs killed and ate my best friend.”‎ ‎“Oh, dear!” I cried. “How did it happen?” “He was working on the hillside when the dogs attacked him. When he didn't return, I went to the hillside and found…” “His body?” I asked. The old fellow drank half of his coffee. “No. I told you they were hungry dogs, didn't I? The big bones were lying everywhere. But they found this.” He pushed open a match box he was holding in his hand. In it was a man's thumb, lying on some white bloody material.‎ ‎“This is my friend's right thumb. The dogs ate the rest of him.” The old man began to cry. He finished his coffee quickly and left the cafe. I drank mine and called the waiter. “I'll pay the gentleman's bill. His poor friend—how terrible!” “You've heard the news?” The waiter laughed. “Sure. There's a hole in the bottom of the match box. He put his own thumb through the hole. The blood is red ink, I believe. Is the story worth a cup of coffee, sir?” “But he held the box in his right hand.” “Yes, but listeners look into the box. They just can't take their sight off that terrible thing.” “And when he tells the story, he gets a free cup of coffee!” I said, laughing. “Yes, sir, but only from strangers who come to this town, and, of course, he does us no harm!”‎ ‎8. We can learn from this passage ________.‎ A. the writer came to the cafe for the first time B. the old man made a living by telling jokes in the cafe C. the writer had known about the old man before D. what had happened to his best friend made the old man mad ‎9.

As suggested by the passage, what might happen in the end? ‎ A. The writer refused to pay the old man's bill.‎ B. The writer decided to make the trick known to the public.‎ C. More strangers would hear the old man's story.‎ D. The old man wouldn't visit the cafe any more.‎ ‎ D A new app aims to help parents understand what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app Chatter Baby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.‎ Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.‎ To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or in pain.‎ Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.‎ Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science. “I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said,“ I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a ‎ spreadsheet (电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children. ”‎ But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents understand the results, not to provide a yes or no answer. The Bells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially others in the future.‎ ‎12. How does the app judge what babies want?‎ ‎ A. By collecting data. ‎ ‎ B. By recording all the sounds.‎ ‎ C. By analyzing the sound of their cries. ‎ ‎ D. By asking parents about specific messages.‎ ‎13. What was the app designed for in the beginning? ‎ ‎ A. All new parents. B. Deaf parents.‎ ‎ C. Ariana Anderson. D. Crying babies.‎ ‎14. What is Ball’s opinion about the app?‎ ‎ A. Parents should use the app wisely. B. The app can create an accurate result.‎ ‎ C. Parents and babies are addicted to the app. D. The app makes babies lose love and caring.‎ ‎15. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Parents should not rely too much on their smartphones.‎ ‎ B. A new app helps parents figure out why their babies are crying.‎ ‎ C. Parents can deal with babies’ hunger with the help of a new app.‎ ‎ D. A new app called Chatter Baby can prevent babies from crying.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ For most teens, bedtime is just a childhood memory. Keep in mind the risks that come along with a lack (缺乏) of shut-eye; don’t wait to reintroduce a bedtime, and be sure to pass along these five ways to get a better sleep.  ‎ Don’t stay up late to study. ‎ Teens are often found staying up late to study. Studies show sleep helps you understand and remember information.   16   If you think you badly need to study more, get up early and study in the morning instead. ‎ ‎ 17  ‎ Sleeping with your smartphone nearby results in 21 minutes less sleep each night.

Turn your phone on airplane mode.    18  ‎ Create a bedtime routine (常规). ‎ ‎  19   Having a bedtime routine will cause your body to prepare for sleep around that time each night.

Bedtimes aren’t just for babies. ‎ B. Don’t sleep right by your phone. ‎ C. Besides, sleeping by your phone may be harmful to your health. ‎ D.
