C2018 was a good year for American farmers. Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before. However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent. Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy(津贴) in 2017. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars. An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on all farm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 2008 and 2017. It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms. Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean. But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid. 8. What is the probable number of American farms?A. 10 million. B. 1 million.C. 10 thousand. D. 100 thousand.9. Why was 2018 a good year for American farmers?A. American farmers earnings increased a lot in 2018.B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2018.C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2018.D. The federal government reduced farmers taxes in 2018.10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Small farms will get more government aid.B. Only big farms can get the government aid.C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid.D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily.11. What attitude do critics hold towards the farm subsidies? A. supportive B. indifferent C. against D. objectiveD What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of victory by showing were better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone elses expense.Showing how much better than other people is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because its different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.12. According to Aristotle, all jokes depend mainly on _.

People who like jokes are usually cruel. D. To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes.15. What will a good joke-teller always try to do? A.

According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.
