28、not open on Christmas Day.CDr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001.It is the largest study of humor. Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.The project will
29、last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor. T
30、he idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long interested psychologists（心理学家）and philosophers（哲学家）.Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects of us and say things that help us get
31、 what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence（证据）to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance
32、.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior（优越）to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sens
33、e of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found th
34、at German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part i
35、n the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.7. Scientist started “the laugh lad ” project .A. to find the funniest joke in European countriesB. to know what funny people are from
36、different nations and culturesC. to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor.D. to get more personal details about participants8. We can infer from the passage that .A. most of the people all over the world are completely honestB. psychologists and philosophers take intere
37、st in the “laugh lab”projectC. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab”project at allD. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh9. What is the main idea of the 4th and 5th paragraph?A. Man and woman have different senses of humor.B. Male and female have similar senses
38、 of humor.C. About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.D. Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.10. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans .A. to show that the French people have a better sense of humorB. to p
39、rove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”C. to show people from different nations have different senses of humorD. to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor11.

40、mans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing.C. Males are better at word play compared with women.D. Females like to use humor to show that they are superiors.DRomeDoctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the
41、 brink of cloning (克隆) the first human baby.Dr. Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant（怀孕）with a cloned baby.Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said
42、 he hoped to produce a cloned embryo（卵）for implantation within two years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finall
43、y come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology：“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is
44、 using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick.”But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births.Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr .Michael Wilks of the UK.12. What do the underlined words“on the brink
