27、our choices marked A，B，C and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AA new study has found that making someone laugh is one of the best ways to woo(求婚) ones lover.However，researchers have discovered that not all humor is equal.The quickest path to success is

28、 to use a very specific form of wit：Selfdeprecation.“Many studies show that a sense of humour is attractive to women，especially to their girlfriends，but weve found that selfdeprecating humour is the most attractive of all，” said anthropologist Gil Greengross.One possible explanation is that taking_t

29、he_mickey_out_of_oneself is a highrisk strategy.“It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to ones real faults，thereby diminishing(缩小) the selfdeprecators status in the eyes of others.But based on the idea that selfdeprecating humour can be an especially reliable indicator not only

30、of general intelligence and creativity，but also of moral virtues such as humility.”Anthropologist Kate Fox，author of Watching the English，believes selfdeprecation is uniquely vital for those with an English cultural background，“For the English，the rules of humour are the cultural equivalent of natur

31、al lawswe obey them automatically，rather in the way that we obey the law of gravity.”“Pomposity(夸耀) and selfimportance are outlawed.Serious matters can be spoken of seriously，but one must never take oneself too seriously，” she added.“As long as everyone understands the rules，they are duly impressed

32、both by ones achievements and by ones reluctance(不愿) to talk about them publicly.”However，Greengross warns of another danger in the use of selfdeprecation.“If you are a lowstatus individual，using selfdeprecating humour can be disastrous to you，” he said.“Think about the secondaryschool child whom no

33、body liked，who made fun of his shortcoming in sports.His kids laughed at him and he was considered more pathetic(悲惨的) than he was previously.This is highrisk attraction.It is not for everyone.”56What is Kate Fox?AA filmmaker.BAn official at school.CA lawyer.DAn expert in studying anthropology.57From

36、?AThe quickest path to success is to make someone laugh.BSelfdeprecation perhaps lowers its status in the eyes of others.CThe English obey natural laws without obeying the law of gravity.DNobody likes making fun of one childs shortcoming in sports.60Where does the passage probably come from?AA novel

37、. BA survey study.CA pet magazine. DA travel guide.BWhat if it isnt a dogeatdog world？What if caring for a dog or for a mom with Alzheimers(老年痴呆症) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?Researchers at the University of California，Berkeley are challenging our longheld belief that humans are

38、 born to be selfish.Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers，the researchers say.Rather than “every man for himself”，Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational，selfless and sympathetic characteristics.W

39、hy has it taken so long for Darwins central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood？“Weve had too many men in social science，” Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me from an interview.“Female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the resear

50、 OHare International Airport，Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other，and then reached for each others hand.DNA tests establish an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least halfsisters.Scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty

51、，but given their ages and physical similarities，experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.Douglas and Holly Funk hope to bring their Mia to Miami in October.Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.66Both the adop

56、r.Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis，without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isnt often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned，and the problem is becoming more and more serious.Harmless fun occurs when

57、 nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun，and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny，and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.The most difficult part of the line between harmles

58、s fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line，and even its different from time to time，depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance，and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.N

59、o matter how strong the friendships are，words can treat them apart from the root，destroying the very foundation that theyve been built upon.The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place，since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you，but it should neve
