At the age of 16, Philo was a very shy boy. Only his science teacher, Justin Tolman, realized that Philo was a special person. One day after school Mr. Tolman found Philo in the classroom. The boy was making drawings on the chalkboard. “What are you doing?” Mr. Tolman asked with interest, “What are these drawings?” “I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are the drawings of one of my first inventions. I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air. Please, just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.” In the school library Philo had read about a man who had worked on an idea for television, but had failed. Philo was sure that his own idea was better and that he could succeed. Mr. Tolman was not sure and asked Philo many questions about the drawings. Giving facts and figures, Philo answered every question. In 1926, Philo sent his drawings to Washington, along with a letter asking for the patent rights on television. Since then, television has become an important business all over the world.56. When he lived in his hometown, Philo was _.

Has a doctor said he cant find anything wrong with you?

Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline（界限）state between health and disease.According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, anger, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements - vitamins and other elements that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.60. According to this passage, which of the following is true?A. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay at home and keep silent.B. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.C.

It may be easy for middle-aged people to get sub-healthy because _.A. they have used up their energy B. they have lost their living hopesC. they have more pressure in life and work D. they begin to get older62.

It is the largest study of humor. Participants are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people. Their project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between males and females sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh. This is a subject that has long interested psychologists (心理学家) and philosophers (哲学家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (公认的). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for example. “Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior (高傲的，有优越感的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.” Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp, “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?” The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe. Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief (安慰). Computers already seem like they can do everything. But at least they should leave the funny things to us.68. The scientist started the “laugh lab” project _. A. to find the funniest joke in European countries B. to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures C. to find out the differences between the males and females sense of humorD. to get more personal details about participants69.

A. to show that the French people have a better sense of humor B. to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor” C. to show people from different nations have different senses of humor D. to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor70. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans. B. The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing. C. Males are better at word play comp
