Anyone with a kid is aware of the fact that kids have a really unusual sense of humor, but there's no other way to put it.Sometimes it's a non funny situation that they find amusing.Whatever it is, you might be wondering what on earth they think is so funny.Up until recently, researchers weren't sure what the timeline was of developing a sense of humor.
A group of researchers called the Early Humor Survey (EHS) aim to understand just that and help parents get a better understanding of their kids' sense of humor.They surveyed a group of parents from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.
During the first year of their babies' lives, parents observed the different ways their children appreciated humor and were even able to produce some humor on their own.More than 75% of the parents found their babies laughing by the second month of their lives.By their first birthday, almost all parents reported that their kids were all laughing.
While babies don't have a full understanding of humor, we are able to see when they're smiling or if they're happy.EHS authors were able to see that babies had the ability to appreciate humor before they are able to produce humor themselves.
According to Kids Health, children with a sense of humor are more optimistic, happier and are able to handle differences with others.They are also more well liked by their peers and show a better handling of adversities of childhood, including bullying, or moving to a new town.Since parents are the biggest role models in children's lives, it's safe to say that they develop their sense of humor from interacting with their parents.
5.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A.Children are born with a sense of humor. B.Parents seek for the cause of kids' humor.
C.Experts know when kids produce humor. D.Kids' sense of humor differs from adults'.
6.Which of the following does Kids Health agree with
A.The two month old babies begin to laugh. B.Parents interpret children's humor properly.
C.Humor helps kids cope with tough problems. D.Kids understand humor while appreciating it.
7.What is the best title for the passage
A.Kids' Humor at a Very Early Stage B.How Parents Care about Kids' Growth
C.A New Discovery about Babies' Humor D.Why Humor Is Important in Kids' Life
8.What can be talked about following the last paragraph
A.How to create kids' humor stories.
B.How to develop kids' sense of humor.
C.How to distinguish types of kids' humor.
D.How to make an assessment of kids' humor.
情境变式：
It’s well-known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humor is the highest of the psyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.
There are four humor styles. Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. If you’ve ever shared a funny picture with a coworker, you’ve used affiliative humor. Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humor is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers, which is possibly used by someone who’s targeted by bullies.
Each style of humor actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles can hint at trouble. “We find that self-defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics (群体动力) in order to make fun of their peers,” says Schermer.
Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles, there’s no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”
31．Why is Sigmund Freud’s book mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To show the importance of mental health. B．To stress the role of humor.
C．To persuade people to stay positive. D．To introduce ancient jokes to us.
32．According to the text, which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure
A．Affiliative humor. B．Self-enhancing humor.
C．Aggressive humor. D．Self-defeating humor.
33．What does the underlined phrase “hint at” probably mean in the third paragraph
A．Signal. B．Explain. C．Prevent. D．Solve.
34．Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with
A．Humor is difficult to control. B．Crying is a good way of relief.
C．Humor is a double-edged sword. D．Laughter is the best cure for stress.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一本书——Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious，介绍了四种不同的幽默类型。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s well-known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humor is the highest of the psyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.(众所周知，幽默对我们的身心都有好处。笑是最好的良药这一观点自古以来就存在。西格蒙德·弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《笑话及其与无意识的关系》一书中认为，幽默是心灵的最高防御机制，能够将焦虑转化为快乐)”可知，第一段提到这本书是为了强调幽默的作用。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.(自我提升的幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是你处理压力或困难的一种方式，结果感觉更好)”可知，用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默，故选B。
3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.(西安大略大学的心理学研究员Julie Aitken Schermer说，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不佳的迹象)”以及“By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles”可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦，故划线词意思是“暗示”。故选A。
4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.(笑和哭都是对担心和焦虑的反应。我更喜欢笑，因为笑完之后要做的清理工作少了)”可知，Kurt Vonnegut更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是治疗压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D。

2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.(自我提升的幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是你处理压力或困难的一种方式，结果感觉更好)”可知，用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默，故选B。
3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.(西安大略大学的心理学研究员Julie Aitken Schermer说，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不佳的迹象)”以及“By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles”可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦，故划线词意思是“暗示”。故选A。
4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.(笑和哭都是对担心和焦虑的反应。我更喜欢笑，因为笑完之后要做的清理工作少了)”可知，Kurt Vonnegut更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是治疗压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D。
