Benevolent (善意的) humour helps medical assistants (MAs) cope positively with their stressful working day, according to a new study by the Martin Luther University (MLU) and the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training. The researchers surveyed more than 600 MAs and found that those who preferred light, well-intended humour were more satisfied with their work and received more positive feedback. Dark humour, such as sarcasm (嘲讽), was more likely to have disadvantages. Medical assistants mostly work in primary healthcare facilities, especially medical practices. In Germany, becoming an MA requires three years of vocational training. Their daily routine is highly demanding: they handle administrative tasks, take blood samples, and apply wound dressings. “Medical assistants are in very close contact with patients most of the day. They have significant responsibility and experience high stress,” says Julia Raceke, a doctoral researcher at MLU. While humour has long been known to help healthcare workers manage stress, less is understood about the impacts of different humour styles. The researchers conducted an online survey of over 600 MAs to better understand the relationship between job satisfaction and humour styles. Participants shared their humour preferences and provided information on their workplace well-being and perceived competence. Results indicated that those who preferred positive, benevolent humour were generally more satisfied with their jobs. These MAs also reported receiving more positive feedback and feeling that they made a greater difference at work. Surprisingly, not all forms of dark humour connected negatively with well-being—satire and irony showed no negative effects. However, cynicism and sarcasm were mostly harmful. Still, the researchers noted that occasional sarcasm among colleagues might help release frustration. According to the researchers, humour is one of several factors influencing workplace well-being. Using humour consciously and appropriately can make conversations with patients more pleasant. The findings may also help develop new training programmes to enhance MAs’ social and emotional skills. (　)1.What is the main finding of the study conducted by MLU? A.Benevolent humour contributes to MAs’ job satisfaction. B.Sarcasm is the most effective humour style in healthcare. C.Humour has no significant effect on workplace well-being. D.Medical assistants prefer dark humour to benevolent humour. (　)2.What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A.To present the research findings of the study. B.To argue for better working conditions for MAs. C.To compare different humour styles used in healthcare. D.To provide background information about medical assistants. (　)3.What can we infer about dark humour from the researchers’ analysis? A.It is completely useless for MAs. B.Its effects vary by specific type. C.It is widely accepted by patients. D.It is more effective than positive humour. (　)4.What is the research team’s attitude towards the use of humour? A.They are indifferent as its effects are too small to measure. B.They see it as a valuable tool that requires careful application. C.They believe all humour styles should be encouraged equally. D.They are cautious and think it should be avoided in medical settings. ●Ⅴ 语法填空(每小题1.5分,满分15分) Cross talk, “xiangsheng” in Chinese, is a 1.　　　　 (tradition) Chinese comedic performing art and one of China’s most popular cultural forms. It’s 2.　　　　 (general) believed that cross talk developed sometime in the Qing Dynasty. After the People’s Republic of China 3.　　　　　　　 (found) in 1949, this art became increasingly popular.
