8、ns cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.” In the US, children who have their birthday

9、s during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends, the same number of times as their age. In the US, the 16 birthday is called sweet 1

10、6. It is the age at which a person can get a US drivers license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.

11、 In Britain, people celebrate 21 birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age.

12、ut 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100 birthday is very special.

15、ing animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup th th st th Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets. “Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was reall

16、y the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.” This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault arguesthat the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don t have tofeed it, you dont have to wal

17、k it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals. Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with

18、these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals. As an animal welfare researcher, Rault isconcerned about how robotic pe

19、ts could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will ch ange how humans care about other living beings,” he said. So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up wit

20、h living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets neednt have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream. 8.

According to medical experts, laughter isnt just about having fun - it actually has many health benefits. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can lower blo

24、od pressure, reduce stress and improve immune function(免疫功能). Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an anti-depressant. When you laugh, your body releases endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽)which results in a general feeling of health and well-being. Regular laughter can play a role i

25、n helping you to avoid many health problems. Thus, not only do womentend to laugh more than men, they are alsomore likely to have the last laugh. According to a study conducted at the Stanford University of Medicine, gender( 性 別)can affect the way that a persons brain responds to humor. The study, w

26、hich involved the monitoring of 10 men and 10 women watching cartoons, shows that women are more likely than their male peers to use the part of the brain that processes rewards. It seemed that women had lower expectations in regard to a reward (in this case, the reward being the punch-line of the j

27、oke or cartoon), which resulted in them enjoying the experience more than the men. Men, on the other hand, seemed to expect that they would find the cartoons humorous, and were therefore more likely to be disappointed and find them less amusing. Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find

28、 humorous and men seem to recognize this and do their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they have an attraction towards and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel mo

29、re desirable. Obviously, it is more important to men that a woman appreciates their humor. 12. The studies show that regular laughter can _ A. raise blood pressure B. keep us nervous C.keep us healthy and happy. D. make immune function worse B. robot pets are coming D. the popularity of robot pets 1

30、3. Why do women experience laughter more than men? A. Because they like telling humorous stories B. Because they like watching cartoons. C. Because they expect little of a reward. D. Because they seldom respond to humor. 14. From the last paragraph we can infer A. humorous men make women happy. B. m

31、en dislike humorous women C. laughter makes women humorous D. women dislike humorous men. 15. Whats the main idea of the passage ? A. Women enjoy humor more than men B. Women laugh more than men C. Laughter has many health benefits D. Humorous men are popular with women 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題，每小題 3 分，滿分 15 分） 根
