　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(建议用时8′)

　　The power of humor and laugher is numerous.They entertain us and make us feel good.But，above all，we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine.They relieve pain，reduce stress and anxiety，and are anti­aging and longevity facilitators.

　　They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work.However，they are slipping away from us.We have become far too serious.The only ones who still enjoy humor，laughter，fun and play to the fullest are young children.Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day.For adults，however，it is a totally different story.

　　In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day.Today，we are lucky if we average between 4－6 times a day.

　　As a matter of fact，a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people.You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet，but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.

　　Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.However，this is no longer the case.In fact，the majority of people can hardly find time，nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home.They turn to electronic media such as television，computers，the Internet，videos，CDs，and audio equipment，which can provide them with instant self­entertainment at the push of a button.

　　The workplace does not fare(进展) much better.Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete，for example，in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world，humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded(逐渐毁坏) away.

　　I have developed a real appreciation，perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter.This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor，laughter，play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents，grandparents and teachers.

　　From writing about humor and laughter，people start to ask me to speak up for them.To date，I have developed a number of humor­laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations.You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e­magazine “The Humormeister’s Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E­zine navigation button on the website.

　　Things Your Pilot Won’t Tell You

　　You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket，and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it，but half the time，you’re really on a regional(地方的) airline.The regionals aren’t held to the same safety standards as the majors：their pilots aren’t required to have as much training and experience，and the public doesn’t know that.—Captain at a major airline

　　If you’re a nervous flier，book a morning flight.

　　The heating of the ground later causes bumpier(颠簸的) air，and it’s much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon.—Jerry Johnson，pilot，Los Angeles

　　There is no safest place to sit.In one accident，the people in the back are dead；in the next，it’s the people up front.—John Nance，aviation safety analyst

　　Most pilots have.Airplanes are built to take it.You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that’s it.You’re not going to fall out of the sky.—Charlotte，pilot for a regional

　　earner，North Carolina

　　People don’t understand why they can’t use their cell phones.

　　Well，what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing，and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we ideally are.—Jim Tilmon，retired American

　　Airlines pilot，Phoenix
