others laugh easy and people feel happy to be around him. I admire him very much and dream of

that some day I will be as humorous as him. I even asked him how have a good sense of humor,

but what she replied disappointed me. “Not someone can be humorous, because those who is

humorous are usually born to be humorous,” he said. However, later, he adds, “But you can be

humorous too if you know a lot of joke.” That’s why now I’m reading a book of jokes.

21. We all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should look like, whether we show a mouthful of whites or keep our lips closed and turned up at the corners. When we think of the perfect smile, we often picture someone grinning, with all of our teeth showing, But based on new findings, less is actually more. Nathaniel Helwig and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota discovered that a successful, genuine smile actually rests less on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmetry(对称).
For the study, researchers looked at 3D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 participants. The computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transformations, with researchers changing the mouth angle, amount of teeth shown, and the degree of the smile. Participants were then asked to rate the models’ smiles based on effectiveness, genuineness and pleasantness.
The results of the study found that the most successful smile had a perfect balance of teeth, an ideal mouth angle, and a smile length that extended to what was called the “sweet spot.” Smiles that showed a quick sync(同步)of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.
Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal communication, making it easier to draw people to you and also seem sincere. It’s also worth noting that a perfect smile could help improve your health too.

A. Talking softly.    B. Smiling widely.

32. Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles in the study?
A. How pleasant it makes people feel.
B. Whether it improves health.
C. How successful smiling people are.
D. Whether it lasts long enough.
33. What makes the perfect smile based on the new study?
A. White teeth.    B. Smile length.
C. Facial balance.    D. Lip corners.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?
A. A perfect smile has a positive effect on your health.
B. A perfect smile means showing all your teeth.
C. The less you smile, the more you can show.
D. A perfect smile involves only a balance of teeth.
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A book review.    B. A science report.
C. A biography.    D. A travelling guide.
参考答案：
31. B    32. A    33. C    34. A    35. B

22. No one can deny that buttons are an important device. Whenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete scam (骗局), at least in the US － the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
“Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “ having a lack of control is associated with depression.”
Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.
“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said. “Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”
5. What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.
B. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.
C. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.
D. To analyze the functions of fake buttons.
6. In America, the “close” buttons on lifts _______.
A. are fake for the convenience of disabled people
B. work only when people press them hard for a while
C. were specially designed to give people a sense of control...
D. cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
7. The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 6 refers to _______.
A. making people more patient
B. giving people perceived control
C. helping people to build up confidence
D. making people with depression feel better
8. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons ______.
A. should give up this habit
B. consider what they do to be meaningless
C. probably do so to kill time
D. don’t know that what they press is fake
参考答案：
5. D    6. A    7. B    8. C
本文主要讲了在生活中很多人喜欢按按钮，但是实际上很多按钮是假的，作者还对假按钮的功能进行了分析。
5. D
推理判断题。本文主要讲了在生活中很多人喜欢按按钮，但是实际上很多按钮是假的，作者还对假按钮的功能进行了分析。可以推断出作者的写作意图。故选D.
6. A
细节理解题。根据第三段It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.可知，电梯上的假按钮是为了方便残疾人。故选A.
7. B
词意猜测题。根据第五段“Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,”可知，能够感知的控制可以减少压力，增加好感。再根据第六段For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.可知，这同一目的也是让人感觉更好。所以可以猜测出“for this same purpose”（为了同一目的）就是指能够感知的控制。故选B.
8. C
推理判断题。根据最后一段I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting.可以推断出，人们按按钮是为了消磨时光。故选C.
