Choices can be hard.” Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice.

Why are some things funny to some people and not to others? How is that while a successful joke can cause pleasure，a sick one can cause serious harm? Over the centuries，various scholars have attempted to produce a universally agreed-upon theory of humorPlato and Aristotle introduced the superiority(优越感) theory，the idea that people laugh at the misfortune of othersTheir theory seems to explain teasing，but it doesnt work well for knock-knock jokesSigmund Freud argued for his relief theory，the concept that humor is a way for people to release psychological tension and reveal their inner fears and desiresHis theory works well for dirty jokes，less well for most puns The majority of humor expels today agree with the incongruity theory，the idea that humor arises when theres a gap between what people expect to happen and what actually happensIncongruity has a lot going for it jokes with unexpected funny lines，for example，fit wellBut scientists have found that in comedy，unexpectedness is overvalued With the goal of developing a new，more satisfactory explanation，I produced “the gentle violation(违背)theory”，the idea that humor arises when something seems wrong or threatening，but is actually OK or safeA dirty joke，for example，trades on moral or social violations，but its only going to get a laugh if the person listening is open enough to consider the subject OK to talk aboutSimilarly，puns can be seen as linguistic violations that still make grammatical sense And while most humor theories have struggled to account for tickling (挠痒痒)，or just avoided the phenomenon altogether，my theory accounts for even this kind of laughterTickling involves violating someones physical space in a gentle wayPeople cant tickle themselves because it isnt a violation52What is the authors attitude towards Plato and Aristotles theory? ACriticalBApprovingCuncaringDUnclear53 According to Sigmund Freuds theory，we can infer that _ . Apeople will laugh when they see others suffer Btelling dirty jokes is a relief of ones nervous feelings Cunexpectedness can explain how humor works Dtickling doesnt involve psychological tension54According to the author，why are some things funny to some people but not to others? ABecause the sense of humor varies greatly from person to person BBecause people have different expectations for the same thing CBecause some people lack the sense of safety deep in their heart DBecause peoples understanding of violation is different55What is the authors main purpose of writing this passage? ATo draw peoples attention to the research of humor BTo criticize peoples misconceptions about humor CTo explain what exactly causes people to laugh DTo prove the sense of humor can be developed【参考答案】5255、ABDC 阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。【2014联合模拟】 I came to study in the United States a year ago.
