Next time you order a laser device at HairMax., you should pay at least _.A. $195B. $175C. $97.5D. $215BIf you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to ment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses convention（集会）, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful acmodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps（重踏）over to a table by himself. “Who is that?”the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, thats God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor.”If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are mon to all of you and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairmans notorious（臭名昭著的）bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustnt attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent（厌恶）an outsider making remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats（替身）like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it bees more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff（即兴）remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often its the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often es from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “f at first you dont succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatement（轻描淡写）. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.58. To make your humor work, you should _.A. take advantage of different kinds of audienceB. make fun of the disorganized peopleC. show sympathy for your listenersD. address different problems to different people59. In the eyes of nurses, the joke about doctors implies that they are _.A. very conscious of their godlike roleB. entitled（有资格）to some privilegesC. impolite to new arrivalsD. very busy even during lunch hours60. It can be inferred from the text that public services _.A. have benefited many peopleB. are the focus of public attentionC. are an inappropriate subject for humorD. have often been the laughing stockCFor Kylie Jacobs, a young cancer patient, even a slight fever meant a stay in hospital; when she did go home, her heath was so poor that she couldnt play or go to school. While the seven-year-old often felt hopeless, a visit from a special guest helped her forget, just for a moment. “Seeing Petie helps take her attention away from what shes been missing. And, Petie is very special because theres only one Petie, “said Eric Jacobs, Kylies dad.”Petie is a little therapy（治疗）horse. Hes bigger than a therapy dog, but much smaller than a horse. The 25-year old horse visits children in Akron childrens Hospital and Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital in Cleveland. Hes been volunteering for eighteen years and has no plans to stop.“A visit from Petie is kind of fun and something they werent expecting,” owner Sue Miller said. “It just takes away why they are there.” Miller and her husband, who own a horse therapy center, got Petie more than eighteen years ago. They first let him visit schools and nursing homes. Then Miller wondered if Petie could help at childrens hospitals and she came to the hospital in Akm. At first the officials were uncertain about his performance, but they decided to allow Petie to visit in a nearby building. As trust grew, he moved to the main hospital.Petie is not just able to make children cry with joy and forget their problems. Miler remembers a moment when Petie walked up to the bedside of an unconscious boy, then dropped his head to gently rub the boys hand. Without waking, the boy started petting Petie. As everyone watched in silence, a doctor noticed that Petie slowed his breathing to match the boys.“It was just a beautiful moment,” said Miller. “I am just so lucky that I get a chance to be part of this horses life and what he gets to do for others.”61. What can we learn from the Paragraph 1?A. Petie is a friend of Kylie Jacobs.B. Peties visit is helpful to Kylie.C. Petie can cure Kylie of her illness.D. Kylie always forgets something.62. What does Miller mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraphs 3?A. Petie has found happiness at hospital.B. Petie helps kids forget their suffering.C. Kids give much fort to Petie.D. Kids are expecting Peties visits.63. What was the hospitals attitude to Petie at first?A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Disappointed.D. Doubtful.64. What can we infer from the moment mentioned by Miller?A. Petie was afraid of the boys unconsciousness.B. Petie brought the boy back to consciousness.C. Petie hoped to help the boy get better.D. Petie helped improve the boys breathing ability.DAfter turning onto your other side in the darkness for many times, you finally sigh and get out of bed. Frustrated, you flip on the kitchen light and pour yourself a generous glass of red wine, and then pull something from the medicine cabinet to help you sleep -maybe narcotic painkillers（镇静剂）or sleeping pills. After all, you need to be up early for work. You need to get at least a couple hours of shut-eye.Sound familiar? Millions of Americans are right there with you. An estimated 30 percent of adults experience symptoms of insomnia（失眠）at some point, whether its having trouble falling or staying asleep, waking up early, or not feeling well-rested after sleeping.In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls insufficient sleep a public health epidemic（流行病）and for good reason. Poor sleep has been linked to a broad range of health problems; including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and even cancer. Not getting enough sleep can also put other people in danger as sleepiness increases the risk of car accidents and costly mistakes at work, especially for those working in medical or industrial fields. More than 1,500 people a year die in car accidents caused by drowsy（欲睡的）driving, and another 40,000 people are seriously injured. Dozens of studies have found poorer productivity and shorter lifespans among those who dont get the sleep they need, leading to a worse quality of life.Sleepless nights can also mean another kind of misery; when you are tired, you are just plain moody. Too little sleep contributes to irritability（易怒）and a short temper, so its easy to snap at your spouse（配偶）, your friends, your kids or even your co-workers. Over time, relationships can bee worse if your insomnia isnt managed, and you can develop serious mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety disorder.Taking something at night to help you fall asleep and then downing（大口喝下）several Red Bulls during the day might seem like a logical way to bat（与作斗争）the problem. But in fact, those substances might be making your sleeping woes（困难）worse. For example, contrary to popular belief, a nightcap doesnt help people sleep better. Alcohol can prevent you from sleeping as deeply as you need to or keep you from progressing through all the normal phases of sleep. Recovering alcoholics may also experience withdrawal symptoms that can cause insomnia and tempt（引诱）people back to use alcohol to try to get some sleep.Similarly, narcotic painkillers, sleeping pills and other depressants can lead to dependency, making it difficult for the body to fall asleep on its own. A few drags on a marijuana（大麻）joint may seem like a harmless way to relax, but as with sleeping pills, the drug can interfere with your natural sleep cycle and even cause you to wake up more frequently during the night.After a sleepless night, it is a struggle just to stay awake and function. Some people take amphetamines or other stimulants（兴奋剂）to jump-start their days or help them concentrate. But then they struggle to wind down（平静下来）at night and often return to alcohol or sleeping pills to help, and these short-term solutions can quickly turn into a vicious cycle. Even though about one-third of Americans get less than seven hours of sleep each night, only about six percent of adults have a sleep disorder occurring on its own, separate from any other problem. However, many more people suffer from sleep disorders that co-occur with substance use, and each condition can continue to perpetuate the other.If all this sounds familiar -the roller coaster of stru
