You probably laugh at something you find funny,but how much do you really know about jokes and humour?Reader's Digest(RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.
RD:What's the oldest joke in the world?
“We can't know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,” says Christie Davies,professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK.The oldest joke book that's been found so far is the Greek Philogelos.It dates from the 4th century AD,although the jokes date from an earlier time.According to the psychologist Steve Wilson,director of National Humour Month(April in the US),it contains 265 jokes.
RD:Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?
Rod Martin,professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada,believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour,as we develop,humour and laughter begin to appear.“Of course,some children are more serious,quiet,and less likely to laugh frequently,but this doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour.” And according to Steve Wilson,there are no adults who don't have a sense of humour.“Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour,and I teach people how,” he says.
RD:Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?
Sense of humour does differ a lot by country,according to an author named Scott Weems.British humour is thought to be absurd(荒谬的) in nature,while American humour has an aggressive quality.According to a study,Germans are found to find everything funny.
1.What do we know about the oldest joke book?
A.It remains unknown.
B.It was written in Greek.
C.It was found in the UK.
D.It contains the oldest joke.
2.What does Rod Martin agree with about people's sense of humour?
A.Nobody is born with a sense of humour.
B.Some adults lose it when they grow up.
C.Childhood is the best time to develop such an ability.
D.Children have a poorer sense of humour than adults.
3.What kind of humour has an aggressive feature?
A.British humour. B.German humour.
C.Canadian humour. D.American humour.
4.Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a popular magazine. B.In a research paper.
C.In a personal diary. D.In a textbook.

Ⅳ.七选五阅读
(2023·杭州高二检测)Living a joyful life does not mean denying painful emotions.Instead,it means cultivating a mindset(心态) that prefers an optimistic view of the world.At the same time,it means developing healthy ways to deal with difficult emotions.Here are five reasons why joy is a powerful life choice.
Joy improves physical health.In recent years,science continues to prove the link between emotional well being and physical health.According to a study in BMC Cancer,researchers found that happiness and optimism may protect against breast cancer.1.
Joyful people are more productive.2. Research by Harvard Business Review found that people who work with a positive mindset may improve work performance on nearly every level including productivity,creativity,and commitment.
3. If you want to improve the relationships in your life,become a happier person.Positive psychology experts say that cultivating happiness through daily habits builds healthier relationships.When you have a positive outlook,you tend to approach the people in your life from a place of gratitude and love.This helps the other feel more valued.
Joy boosts creativity.Perhaps the typical miserable image of artists has led some to feel that misery may inspire art,yet this is not the recipe for creativity.4. According to Scientific American,happy people are open to all sorts of ideas,and people are most creative when they are in a good mood.
Joy creates more Joy! 5. Well,it is also true with joy.When you surround yourself with positive people,you experience more happiness in your own life.By spending more time with happy people,you may feel happier,which inspires even more joy in those you meet!

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了著名喜剧大师卓别林的生平及贡献。
1.who [解析]考查定语从句的关系词。此处考查非限制性定语从句,先行词为a master of nonverbal humor,指人,关系词在从句中作主语。设空处应用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
2.in [解析]考查介词。此处考查介词短语in 1889,为时间状语。故填in。
3.performers [解析]考查名词的数。主语为His parents,为复数,设空处应用名词,且为复数形式performers,意为“表演者”,作表语。故填performers。
4.leaving [解析]考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词died,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,表示自然而然的结果,空处应用现在分词,作状语。故填leaving。
5.had become [解析]考查动词的时态。根据时间状语By his teens,句子应用过去完成时。故填had become。
6.happily [解析]考查副词。修饰动词laugh应用副词happily,作状语。故填happily。
7.produced [解析]考查动词的时态。此处并列连词and连接的三个并列的谓语,形式应保持一致。根据空前的 wrote和 directed可知,句子为一般过去时,空处应用动词过去式。故填produced。
8.of [解析]考查介词。此处考查介词短语because of,意为“由于”,设空处应用介词of。故填of。
9.was awarded [解析]考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in 1972可知,此处应用一般过去时。主语he和动词 award之间为被动关系,所以应用被动语态,be动词用was。故填was awarded。
10.greatest [解析]考查形容词的比较等级。“ one of+the+形容词的最高级+可数名词复数”是固定用法,表示“最……的……之一”,故空处应用形容词最高级greatest,作定语,修饰名词actors。故填greatest。
