greek philosopher aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) 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 personsthat 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 we are 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. if a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we dont laugh because nothing unusual has happened. but if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh. 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.21according to aristotle，all jokes depend mainly on _.a. showing inferiority in another person or groupb. resulting in a sense of successc. having a good opinion of other peopled. making people laugh unexpectedly22the underlined word “inferiority”(in paragraph 1) means _.a. something that is not as good as something elseb. something that is better than something elsec. someone that is not as good as someone elsed. someone that is better than someone else23whats the main idea of paragraph 2?a. showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.b. when people are angry，they would like to hear jokes.c. people who like jokes are usually cruel.d. to express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes.24what will a good joke teller always try to do?a. make a sad situation into a pleasant one.b. make different things happen at the same time.c. make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.d. make people laugh at

newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brainfor anyone who uses a mobile phone，these are worring timesbut speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story.what we do have，however，are some results suggesting that mobile phonesemission(辐射) have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that cant be explained by the general radiation biologyand its only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that well be able to say for sure what moblie phones might be doing to the brainone of the strange effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study alan preece and his colleagues at the university of bristol placed a device(装置) that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteersthe volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screenpreece says he still cant comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on endbut he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的) abilities“im pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory，”he saysanother expert，tatterasll，remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory lossone result，for instance，suggests that nerve cell synapses(神经元突触) exposed to microwaves become morerather than lessreceptive to undergoing changes linked to the memory formation.it would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for youit sounds crazy，but a couple of years ago a team led by william adey at the veterans affairs medical center in california，found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(肿瘤) when given a cancercausing chemicalso should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?“if it doesnt certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isnt going to cause cancer in humans，”says williamand while theres still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer，the unanimity is：dont panic.28what worries people who use mobile phones?a. mobile phones will kill them.b. mobile phones cause memory loss.c. mobile phones heat the brain.d. all above is right.29what is the attitude of preece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities?a. doubt.b. disagree.c. approve.d. wait and see.30the underlined word “unanimity” in the last paragraph most probably means “_”.a. consensusb. disagreementc. possibilityd. impossibility31from the fifth paragraph，we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours _.a. can result in killing youb. is likely to develop brain tumoursc. is unlikely to develop brain tumoursd. will cause your loss of memory for everin california, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called readybot. it can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (橱柜) or put them in the trash. it also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. unlike the japanese robot, readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the readybot challenge. they believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well.clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (忧虑). not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives. the european commission recently funded(资助) a project to study these concerns. according to lead researcher professor chris melhuish, “enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”32a. is more popular b. performs more jobsc.
