三、阅读理解
18. Gallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important w ay to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,”
says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laugh ing doesn't mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance.
“There are a lot of stressors out there,” say s Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”
This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?’”
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical app earance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended（冒犯）:Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For exampl e, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”
“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people pe rmission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”
11. According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________.
A. reducing pressure
B. improving performance
C. making people more creative
D. leading to a big mistake
12. What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?
A. Positive.
B. Negative.
C. Neutral.
D. Uncertain.
13. Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with?
A. Gallows humor is the basic source of morale.
B. Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others.
C. Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose.
D. Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor.
14. When people use gallows humor, they should ________.
A. observe who is aggressive
B. show a sense of belonging
C. doubt about the result of humors
D. try to avoid irritating others
15. What can we infer from the text?
A. People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B. Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others.
C. People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D. People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.
参考答案：
11. D 12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
试题分析：本文主要讲述的是幽默在人生中所起的巨大的作用，以及在展示幽默的时候，我们要注意的细节问题。

11. D 细节题。

根据文章1,2段内容But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an
important way to relieve stress. 和Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness （凝聚力）and performance.可知ABC三项都是幽默的巨大作用，只有D项文章没有提及。

根据文章第四段前4行This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms o f the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj,可知他认为只要幽默被用于好正当的方面的时候，就会有很好的作用。

也就是说幽默曾经被用于不好的地方。

故C正确。

14. D 推理题。

根据文章第五段so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appeara nce, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.可知当我们在展示幽默的时候，不要嘲笑别人的缺点，那样会让别人不愉快，也就说我们要避免冒犯到别人。

故D正确。

15. B 推断题。

根据文章最后一段“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”可知自我解嘲可以缓解别人的压力。

19. The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin, the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers may simply be pushed back into line. Ironically (具有讽刺意义的是), it is only in England, where queue-jumping is regarded as deeply immoral, that the queue-jumper is likely to get away with the offence. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.
Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits, and lifts. In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said. “if people are w aiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they make a dash (猛冲) for it...An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.
In many cases, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal (非语言的) signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start glancing at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares, and raised eyebrows — accompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs — are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this, the jumper will think better of it and withdraw to the back of the queue.
25. In America and other European countries, queue-jumpers .
A. are severely punished and fined
B. are pushed back to the end of lines
C. are warned in a direct manner
D. are the cause of public arguments
26. By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show .
A. Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves
B. queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen
C. queuing is essential in maintaining good public order
D. other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishmen
27. According to the last paragraph, queue-jumping can usually be stopped effectively .
A. with a confident and aggressive attitude
B. with signs of public rules
C. by shouting and loud warning
D. by using certain body language
28. What is the best title of this passage?
A. A social skill to improve your life: queuing
B. Bad manners around the world: queue-jumping
C. A culture of European countries: queuing
D. An English aspect of life: queuing
