In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, whats more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension.Research done by psychologist Dr.Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trices research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humor is really this important, then why dont we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. They tend to think humor and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional, or perhaps both. However, it is important to realize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.5Most people think a sense of humor can _Ahelp you to do your work better Bmake you have a rich lifeCmake you pleased with your work Dhelp you to make more friends6Many people dont use humor more in the workplace because _Athey like keeping silent when working Bthey dont know the positive effects of humorCthey think they should obey the rules Dthey dont like joking or laughing7A person with a sense of humor is easier_Ato feel surprisedBto get along with Cto be worriedDto be successful8What is the main idea of the passage?APeople with a Sense of HumorBHumor Is Important in the WorkplaceCHumor and HumorlessDEveryone Likes Humor答案与解析5A细节理解题。可从第一段最后一句话“In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.”可知答案。6B细节理解题。从第六段中的“Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace.

For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Chengtall, black hair.” To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names.
