I’ve always been a performer—I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician—but all that came to an end after I found people around didn’t want to go out or be entertained. It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would make of me. In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It’s hard enough to break through, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. But by the time I tried my first joke, people were properly laughing. I was enchanted （使陶醉） by the charm and power of comedy. 刷阅读理解 17 Now, I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100. After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an old person you don’t need to take a back seat in life. Last year, I was recognised as the oldest female stand-up comedian in the world. My friends think I’m mad. They don’t understand why I wouldn’t choose to take it easy. But I like engaging with the world and you’ve got to be in touch to be funny. I’ve no intention of stopping comedy. I’m trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It’s hard work, but it stops me being bored. 刷阅读理解 18 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名女性喜剧演员在68岁时开始走上喜剧道路的经历和感受。文章描述了她如何克服困难和挑战，逐渐适应并热爱喜剧表演，以及她对喜剧的看法和目标。 1.Why did the author want to be a comedian?( ) D A.She was tired of her previous job.

The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humour is the highest of the psyche’s defence mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure. Yet not all types of humour have the same effect on well-being. To better distinguish the effects of different types of humour on mental health, psychologist Rod Martin developed a questionnaire, in which he broke humour down into four styles. Affiliative humour refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humour is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humour is the art of putting yourself down to gain favour from your peers. 刷阅读理解 24 Each style of humour actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at the University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humour are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humour styles can hint at trouble. “We find that self-defeating humour is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humour style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics (群体动力) in order to make fun of their peers,” says Schermer. Even if you tend to favour more negative humour styles, there’s no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humour style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” 刷阅读理解 25 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的幽默类型对心理健康不同的影响。 1.Why is Sigmund Freud’s book mentioned in Paragraph 1?( ) B A.To show the importance of mental health. B.To stress the positive role of humour. C.To persuade people to stay positive. D.To introduce ancient jokes to us. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，“笑是最好的良药”这一观点自古以来就存在，西格蒙德·弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《诙谐及其与潜意识的关系》一书中认为，幽默是心灵的最高防御机制，能够将焦虑转化为快乐。因此，第一段提到这本书是为了强调幽默的积极作用。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 26 2.According to the text, which kind of humour may you use to relieve pressure?( ) B A.Affiliative humour. B.Self-enhancing humour. C.Aggressive humour. D.Self-defeating humour. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.可知，自我提升式幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是处理压力或困难的一种方式。因此，用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 27 3.What does the underlined phrase “hint at” in the third paragraph probably mean?( ) A A.Signal. B.Explain. C.Prevent. D.Solve. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的… people using self-enhancing humour are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.及By contrast可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦。由此可猜测，画线词意思是“暗示”。故选A项。 【方法总结】词义猜测题的解题方法 解答词义猜测题可根据画线词前后的语义逻辑关系进行准确理解，并且要联系文章主旨。本题中，画线词前的are less likely to show signs of及By contrast是解题关键。 刷阅读理解 28 4.Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with?( ) D A.Humour is difficult to control. B.Crying is a good way of relief. C.Humour is a double-edged sword. D.Laughter is the best cure for stress. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”可知，库尔特·冯内古特更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是缓解压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 29 核心词汇 1.employ vt. 应用；运用；雇用 2.at the expense of… 在牺牲/损害……的情况下 刷阅读理解 30 The Best Medicine: Laughter Laughter is the best medicine.
