Ⅰ.阅读理解
A survey by an international temporary service agency found that U.S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. 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 communicators and better team players.
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 unaffected 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.
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.
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

答案与分层梯度式解析
UNIT 4　HUMOUR
Part 3　LESSON 2 WHY DO WE NEED HUMOUR
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.muscle　2.energizes　3.tension　4.psychological
Ⅱ.1.名词;细胞　句意:那些细胞分裂后形成许多其他不同类型的细胞。
2.名词;牢房　句意:囚犯们被关进牢房,每天可以在院子里行走1小时。
Ⅲ.1.for instance　2.had an influence on　3.in a bad mood　4.benefit from
Ⅳ.1.infection　考查名词。设空处作介词to的宾语,应用名词,此处infection意为“感染,传染”,是不可数名词,故填infection。
2.embarrassment　考查名词。设空处应用名词作avoid的宾语。avoid embarrassment表示“避免尴尬”。
3.at　考查介词。固定搭配at sb.'s expense意为“嘲笑某人”。
定势纠偏　
　　考生易受思维定势的影响,看到空前的make a joke便填about。仔细分析可知,设空处与空后内容构成短语at sb.'s expense才符合语境,所以要填at。
4.were whispering　考查时态和主谓一致。设空处是主句的谓语,从句谓语用的是一般过去时,设空处表示的动作应是在从句动作发生时正在发生(当老师走进来时他们正在交头接耳),所以用过去进行时,主语为they,故填were whispering。
5.accidentally　考查副词。设空前是从句主语you,空后是动词lock,此处应用副词修饰动词,故填accidentally。句意:拿一把钥匙,以防你不小心把自己锁在门外。
6.whispered　考查动词时态。根据从句谓语动词saw可知,主句应用一般过去时,故填whispered。
7.to replace　 考查不定式。be likely to do sth.表示“可能做某事”,故填to replace。
Ⅴ.1.We shouldn't carry out building at the expense of destroying the environment.　2.Both our parents and our teachers have an influence on our thoughts.　3.Even if I don't win, I won't care as long as I enjoy the process of writing.　4.When we are in danger, we should learn to use the law to protect ourselves from being injured.

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文,告诉我们幽默在工作中发挥着重要的作用。
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, 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项。
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 colleagues”,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当领导容易,这里犯了过度引申的错误。
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。
【高频词汇】　1.point out指出　2.tough adj.困难的;艰苦的　3.release vt.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 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
长难句　
原句　A survey by an international temporary service agency found that U.S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.
分析　本句是主从复合句。“by an international temporary service agency”作survey 的后置定语,found后第一个that引导宾语从句,其中,谓语动词believe后又跟了一个由that引导的宾语从句,其中,“compared with...”是过去分词短语作状语,who引导定语从句,修饰先行词those。
译文　一家国际临时服务机构的一项调查发现,美国经营者认为,与那些有很少或根本没有幽默感的人相比,有幽默感的人在工作中表现得更好。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了笑的好处并鼓励人们要多笑。

2.G　根据上文“In fact, laughter has a lot of benefits.”可知,此处说明笑的好处很多,所以接下来应该是列举笑的具体的好处。G项“这是一种很好的放松方式,不仅在纯粹的心理层面,还在身体层面”符合语境。故选G。
3.B　根据下文可知,笑能帮助我们在新朋友身边少点紧张,也将我们与他人联系在一起,无论在什么情况下,一起笑都有助于互动。由此可知,此处提到的是笑在社交方面的好处。B项“除此之外,笑还有社交功能”和下文意思一致。故选B。
4.D　根据上文可知,游戏可以带来更多的笑声。D项“发现你喜欢玩的游戏,并从中获得乐趣”和上文意思一致。故选D。
5.E　根据上文可知,我们还可以在生活中培养能促进笑声的环境,而下文介绍了创造有笑声的环境的方法。E项“看有趣的电影和录像,读有意思的文章和书籍”也是在举例说明创造有笑声的环境的方法,符合语境。故选E。
【高频词汇】　1.benefit n.益处;好处　2.release n.释放
3.connect...with...使……与……有联系;把……和……联系起来　4.promote v.促进,推动;促销
【差距词汇】　1.hormone n.激素;荷尔蒙 2.neurotransmitter n.神经递质
