Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性).
In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges.
Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory.
Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. Itis a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out.
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic.
4．What can we learn from the researchers in Austria
A．People enjoy dark humour most.
B．Less funny people are aggressive.
C．Funny people are always emotional.
D．Humorous people have a brilliant mind.
5．What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3
A．The benefit of laughter.
B．The reason of our brain changes.
C．The way of being creative in thinking.
D．The association of humor and intelligence.
6．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”
A．Combine. B．Increase.
C．Explain. D．Damage.
7．What can be concluded from the research in education
A．Teachers are always humorous in class.
B．Students can understand humour better in class.
C．Humorous classes are more efficient for students.
D．Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels.

I don’t remember exactly when my love for second-hand books began, but I remember walking along the footpaths of Kings Circle, where my aunt lived, to make my birthday money stretch further by seeing just how many Agatha Christies I could buy.
For many like me, there is a joy that comes from looking through other people’s collections — and often accidentally discovering the kinds of writing you had not known existed. That is, after all, what second-hand bookshops were created for, I think.
It was in Literati Bookshop in Goa that I picked up my son Re’s first cookbook — My Learn to Cook Book, originally gifted to a Sherry in 1973 by Aunty Banso and Uncle Keki, going by the inscription (题字) inside. Also written alongside, in a different handwriting, was “Sherry’s first cooking book.” Maybe this was done by Sherry or her parent. I can’t tell. What I can say is that they did have a lot of fun cooking from this book as Re and I did — we made baked potatoes, zoo biscuits and fruit cakes from the recipes inside.
Yashasvi Vachhani, a Mumbai-based writer and a second-hand book lover, said, “I once picked up a copy of Embers by Sandor Marai which had notes and thoughts written in green ink on the margin (边缘). The whole experience of reading the book was like having a conversation with the previous reader, agreeing with a few points, and adding my own thoughts. It was a great experience, one I still remember fondly.”
The most precious second-hand book experience for me was receiving a copy of a dictionary that my late father-in-law had lovingly saved since it was first gifted to his son in 1980 and then came to mine, 38 years later. “I feel like a part of history, Mamma!” Re said, when he read the inscription inside from his grandfather to his father.
He is. We all are when we hold a second-hand book in our hands.
8．Why does the author like visiting second-hand bookshops
A．She is on a very tight budget. B．She is quite into old editions.
C．She comes upon unexpected finds. D．It enables her to meet like-minded people.
9．What can we learn about Re’s first cookbook
A．It witnessed much family cooking time. B．It was passed down through generations.
C．It recorded Sherry’s cooking journey in detail. D．It was intended as a gift from his aunt and uncle.
10．What can we learn about Yashasvi Vachhani’s experience of reading Embers
A．She shared her thoughts with the previous reader.
B．She took pleasure in reading the handwritten notes.
C．She tried not to be influenced by the handwritten notes.
D．She agreed with just a few points the writer made in the book.
11．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．My idea about book shopping B．Old books: a hidden part of family history
C．My passion for reading second-hand books D．Reading: a family tradition that has been passed down
D
Perfectionism and punctuality are often at odds in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to submit a good-enough project on time rather than perfecting it through procrastination.
Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted early, right at the deadline or late.
Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also finds there isn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning.
A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study makes the broader point that it doesn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss is a meaningful miss.
However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’ s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut you a break.”
12．What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Editing. B．Delay.
C．Co-operation. D．Redrafting.
13．What can be concluded from the research result
A．Submitting work early earns a boost in evaluations.
B．Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations.
C．Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays.
D．Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions.
14．What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China
A．The art itself rather than other details counts.
B．Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively.
C．A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool.
D．The research finding holds true across age and culture.
15．What can be implied from the last paragraph
A．A hard deadline is often negotiable.
B．Bosses need to care about employees.
C．Communication around deadlines is vital.
D．The evaluation strategy should be improved.

Most people connect running with speed. It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. 16 Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine.
17 For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood. Slow jogging can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. 18
There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. 19 This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed.
Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. 20 Perhaps most importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more. If you are interested in getting any of these benefits, it’s certainly worth giving slow running a try.
A．The idea of “slow” can differ greatly between persons.
B．However, different running styles have different benefits.
C．It also helps in burning fat more efficiently in your body.
D．For most people, this speed is just slightly faster than walking.
E．Recovery from slow jogging can last from several days to weeks.
F．Despite is slow speed, keeping proper body’s position is important.
G．Running at a slow speed might give the impression that time passes more slowly.

BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) — The popular U.S. influencer IShowSpeed said in surprise as he was at Shanghai’s Bund area, “This is what China looks like!

四、书面表达（满分25分）
32．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sara was a high school student who was known for her hard work and desire for perfection. Whenever a task was given to her by the teachers, she always wanted to do it perfectly. This sense of responsibility made her a favorite among teachers, but it also placed heavy pressure on her shoulders. She feared making mistakes and would often stress over even the smallest of errors.
One day, a painting competition was announced at the school. Sara eagerly decided to participate in the competition. Painting had always been one of her favorite hobbies, and she loved the idea of competing. The winner would receive a prize, and while that sounded great, Sara was glad to have the chance to prove herself. However, this time painting didn’t feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling of anxiety clouded her thoughts. The fear of not being the best in the competition controlled her.
As days passed, it became increasingly difficult for Sara to concentrate. While other participants were making progress, Sara was caught in her thoughts. She couldn’t even decide what to paint. Images of her competitors confidently working on their pieces filled her with a sense of inability. With only two days left before the competition, Sara’s anxiety grew worse. She spent the entire day with negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and untalented.
At school, Sara saw her classmates close to finishing their artwork, their laughter and excitement going sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure to perform perfectly had turned into an intense fear that kept her from even picking up a brush. Sara began to doubt her abilities, believing that she couldn’t finish anything well. She felt lost in a cycle of anxiety, and the joy she once found in painting seemed to fade further away. With each passing moment, she questioned whether she should even participate at all, fearing that failure would only prove her worst beliefs in herself.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection.

31．Dear teachers and students,
As is known to all, regular physical activity not only improves physical health but also
reduces stress and enhances academic performance. To enhance our overall well-being as
well as in response to our country’s National Fitness Program, our school is launching a
comprehensive sports initiative.
To achieve this goal, we propose three practical steps. Firstly, we can make full use of
school sports facilities by joining morning runs. Secondly, sign up for sports clubs like clubs
related to dancing, swimming, or playing basketball. Every movement counts.
Let’s take action together! By incorporating exercise into our daily routines, we can
develop lifelong healthy habits. Join us in creating a more active and energetic school
environment!

32．Paragraph 1（参考范文）25 分
SeeingSara’strouble,herteacheraskedhertocometohimandshowedherabeautifulglass cup.
Sara had never seen such a beautiful glass piece before. But suddenly, the cup slipped from
her teacher’s hands and broke into pieces. A wave of sadness spread over her face. Her
teacher looked at her face and said softly, “Beauty lies in imperfection and welcoming
imperfection is an act of self-love and acceptance.” Then he began repairing the cup with
golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift.
Paragraph 2:
Lookingatthewell-repairedcupandreflectingonherteacher’swords,Saradecidedtopaint
withoutworryingaboutperfection. As Sara let go of her anxiety, her painting became more
beautiful. On the competition day, Sara accidentally spilled water on the painting before
submitting it, but instead of panicking, she calmly added raindrops to her artwork, making it
even better than before. When the results were announced, Sara won the second prize. She
was happy about the result but, more importantly, she learned a valuable lesson: Being perfect
all the time isn’t necessary, because beauty lies in imperfection, and accepting small faults
makes us human.
