In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better. 　　The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communi- cators and better team players. 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 　　Studies have shown that happy workers are more energised and productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension. 　　Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel embarrassed or depressed. According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help our immune systems, help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaf- fected by past defeat. 　　If humour is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at the wrong times. 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 　　But anyway, in the workplace, at school, or even at home, some more humour or laughter is lubricant (润滑剂) of life. Of course, we should and must show a proper sense of humour on a proper occasion. Best of all, we can make full use of humour to make our lives better. 1.According to most people, what can a sense of humour do? A.It can help you to do your work better.　　B.It can make you have a rich life. C.It can make you pleased with your work.　　D.It can help you to make more friends. 2.Why don't many people use humour more in the workplace? A.Because they like keeping silent when working. B.Because they don't know the positive effects of humour. C.Because they think they should obey the rules. D.Because they don't like joking or laughing. 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 3.What can be concluded from the passage? A.People with little or no sense of humour are not clever. B.It's easy for a humorous employee to be a leader. C.The workplace is somewhere where we can tell all jokes. D.There are many advantages and benefits of humour. 4.What is probably the best title for the passage? A.People with a Sense of Humour　　B.Humour Is Important in the Workplace C.Humour and Humorlessness　　D.Everyone Likes Humour 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 语篇解读    本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默在工作中发挥着重要的作用。 【高频词汇】    1.point out指出    2.tough adj.困难的;艰苦的    3.release vt.使不紧张,放松;释放    4.get rid of...摆脱……    5.defeat n.失败,挫败    6.unaware adj.不知道的    7.occasion n.场合    8.best of all 最好 的是 9.make full use of充分利用 【熟词生义】　this 熟义:pron.这个　生义:adv.这样;这么 【差距词汇】    1.light-hearted adj.轻松愉快的 2.corporate ladder公司的官阶　 3.stuck adj.被难住的 1.A　细节理解题。根据首段尾句中的“about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better”可知,有幽默感的人工作做得更好,故选A。 2.B　细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中的“why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.”可知, 很多人在工作中不使用幽默是因为没有意识到幽默的积极影响。故选B。 3.D　推理判断题。由文中讲的幽默在工作中的众多好处和优点可知选D。 易错归因 　　该题易误选B。第二段提到“it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless col- leagues”,这里只表明了幽默的员工比其他缺乏幽默感的同事更容易晋升,但没有说幽默的员工容易当 领导,这里犯了过度引申的错误。 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 4.B　主旨大意题。概括本文结构为:   由此可知本文主要讲了幽默在工作中的作用,故选B。 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 Ⅱ.七选五   [2025安徽阜阳月考] 　　Four ways to find humour in everyday life 　　If you think your life is too boring to be funny, the joke is on you: humour is all around us. 　　　1　. It sparks energy, improves moods and increases overall health. Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits. When you experience humour with somebody, you bond with them. When peo- ple are bonded, they feel more relaxed and comfortable. Doctor Sultanoff offered the following tips. 　　• Figure out what makes you laugh 　　Think about what kind of humour appeals to you, and then seek it out as often as possible. Go to 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. 　2　. Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax. 　　•　3　 　　We're often not aware of what's in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I'm going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You'll find funny things in unexpected places and laugh a lot more. 　　• Master one joke 　　Many of us innately(天生地) love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn't require great comedic skill. “I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn't have to be long.” 　4　. 　　• Train yourself to be quick-witted(机敏的) 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 　　Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clin- ic with a baby, and as he was leaving, Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” 　5　. What would you say if you were the man? Well, after a moment's embarrassment, the man said, “Don't worry about my son. He hasn't had a shower yet today.” Brainstorm quips(俏皮话), and you'll “train yourself to at some point be able to do them the moment they occur.” A.Social media can also be useful B.That made the man a little awkward C.Discover at least one funny thing a day D.Try to smile as frequently as you can every day E.Practice it, and then use it in situations that need some laughter F.Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 G.Laughing helps you improve your health and interact easily with others 1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______ 　B     　E     　C     　A     　F     第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四个在日常生活中发现幽默的方法。 【高频词汇】　1.improve v.改善　2.increase v.增加 3.benefit n.益处　4.bond v.建立(与某人的)互信关系 5.combine v.(使)结合,联合 1.细节句。根据下文“Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits.(给生活增添幽默也会带来社会 效益。)”中的also推知,设空处陈述在日常生活中增添幽默是有好处的。F项“Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits(在日常生活中增添幽默会带来各种各样的好处)”符合题意,故 选F。 2.过渡句。根据上文“Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh.(去看 喜剧节目,花更多的时间与让你开怀大笑的人在一起。)”和下文“Store some funny videos on Insta- gram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax.(在Instagram或TikTok上存储一些有趣的 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 视频,然后在你需要放松时查看它们。)”可知,除了去看喜剧节目,浏览社交媒体,看有趣的视频也有 用。A项“Social media can also be useful(社交媒体也有用)”承上启下。故选A。 3.主旨句。设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“We're often not aware of...laugh a lot more.(在我们开始寻 找之前,我们通常不会意识到眼前是什么,所以每天都要有寻找幽默的意图。Sultanoff建议:‘当你早上 醒来时,说:“我今天要找到一件我可以笑的事情。”’你会在意想不到的地方发现有趣的事,并笑得 更多。)”可知,本段建议每天都寻找幽默的、好笑的事。C项“Discover at least one funny thing a day (一天至少发现一件有趣的事情)”可以作为本段小标题,funny thing是关键词。故选C。 4.细节句。根据小标题“Master one joke(掌握一个笑话)”可知,本段建议掌握一个笑话,结合设空处上 文“‘I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,’ Sultanoff says. ‘It doesn't have to be long.’(Sul- tanoff 说:‘我告诉人们要学会一个简单的好笑话。它不需要很长。’)”可知,接下来应讲述学到一个 简单的笑话后,通过不断练习来掌握,并在适当的时候运用它。E项“Practice it, and then use it in situa- 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 tions that need some laughter(练习它,然后在需要一些笑声的情况下使用它)”符合题意,承接上文。故 选E。 5.细节句。根据上文“Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby, and as he was leaving, Sultanoff said, ‘Be sure to cover up the baby.’(Sul- tanoff 总是把幽默和他的医疗实践结合起来。在一个下雨天,一个男人带着一个婴儿来到他的诊所,他 正要离开时,Sultanoff 说:‘一定要把婴儿盖起来。’)”可推知,设空处应陈述那个男人对Sultanoff所 说的话的反应。B项“That made the man a little awkward(那让这个男人有点尴尬)”符合题意,且下文 “Well, after a moment's embarrassment”中的embarrassment呼应选项中的awkward。故选B。 第1讲　描述运动的基本概念 Ⅲ.完形填空   [2025江苏扬州六校联考] 　　It was years ago, but I still remember it like it was yesterday.
