前 言

阅读是语言学习考核的重点和难点

不少读者已经注意到近几年的中高考阅读理解题在选材方面非常注重题材

的多样化交际化和生活化通过故事报道议论文等形式关注社会热点现象突出

语境设计和语言运用同时逐渐重视英语文化的渗透这种趋势说明在保留考查学

生的语言知识和技能的同时对学生的语言应用能力和跨文化交际能力也提出了更

高的要求这正是教学改革的趋势自主招生考核的动向新教学大纲精神的体现

本套丛书正是在这一背景下应运而生

本套丛书旨在给学生提供晨读使用的英语时文材料对最新热点话题的捕捉使

得选材贴近生活能够为学生所喜闻乐见同时结合晨读时段的特点和训练形式精

心编排板块能帮助学生安排好晨读节奏有效提高英语语感扩充阅读知识面对学

生提高阅读水平有很大促进作用

丛书按年级设置初中每个年级一本高中则只设置一本共4本单册每册分

20周安排晨读内容每周从周一~周五安排时文朗读共100篇文章

根据各年级学生接受水平的不同本套丛书有序排列循序渐进逐年级体现难

度的递进性比如在选文长度上初中大致在 150~300单词高中则在 350~600单

词题材上基本覆盖了时下的热门现象和热点话题类别包括自然地理科学技术政

治经济体育运动养生保健教育学习调查研究环球博览节日习俗娱乐休闲交

通通信社会百态职场人生文化生活等

丛书中每篇时文包括六部分一ldquo给力热身站rdquo是根据选文内容设计的开放式

问题供学生思考回答书后附有参考答案二ldquo晨读文选rdquo三ldquo生词rdquo将选文中较难

的词按出现的顺序逐一标出并解释四ldquo长难句分析rdquo对选文中较复杂的句子进行

了句法上的分析帮助学生更好地理解文章同时巩固所学语法知识五ldquo译文rdquo是

对选文的翻译六ldquo推荐语句背诵rdquo此部分将文中较为精彩经典的语句标出供学

生记忆由此可以看出本套丛书在扩充学生知识面加大文化浸染的同时也能兼

顾到学生的语言能力提高其获取信息分辨整合信息加工发展信息的能力

传统的晨读文章多半选取的是富有哲理的美文这种文章易于背诵语言优美

但题材相对单一容易产生审美疲劳本套丛书选文时代感强题材丰富话题新颖

文化色彩浓厚能极大地扩充学生的知识面以便学生了解世界正在发生的事情正

在谈论的话题从而帮助学生彻底摆脱ldquo两耳不闻窗外事一心只读圣贤书rdquo的传统

形象

需要指出的是丛书的定位是时文选取的都是当下最真实最鲜活的语言由于

题材包罗万象读者难免会觉得有些文章生词数量稍多尤其是在科技说明文中这

是不可避免的读者大可不必望而止步首先较难的词尤其是专业词汇在文中或

生词部分都已标出不影响阅读其次对照参考译文理解原文毫无问题再次如果

为了完全照顾学生的现有语言水平而对文章作大幅度的修改这样学生的词汇量得

不到提高同时也影响语言的真实性和时文信息的有效性其实在真实的语境下进

行浸润式阅读读者能在不知不觉当中提高自身的语言能力当然这也意味着本书

中的文章同样值得在晨读以外的时间好好研读

另外为了保证文章富有时代感部分选文来自报刊网络在此对原作者深表谢

意如有疑问可联系press_jjecusteducn而经过2013年的修订之后本次修订再版

又选取并更换了一批时代感更强的选文希望能继续得到广大读者的认可囿于编者

水平不足之处敬请读者指正

of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the US理解该句首先理清句子的主谓宾那么该句的主谓宾的基本结构就是ldquoA new book has raisedmedia storm and fierce debates in the USrdquo这样一来我们就知道ldquowritten by a self describedChinese descent on her superstrict parenting mdashldquoBattle Hymn of the Tiger Motherrdquordquo这一长串都是定

语用来说明这本书的一些信息ldquowritten byrdquo意为ldquo由helliphellip而写rdquoldquoonrdquo意为ldquo关于rdquo而ldquoBattle

Hymn of the Tiger Motherrdquo是该书的名称

2 Chua writes that her daughtersSophia and Louisawere never allowed to attend a sleepoverbe in aschool playwatch TV or play computer games该句的难点在于宾语从句中固定搭配ldquobe allowed to dordquo该词组后的所有动词不定式都是ldquobeallowed tordquo的具体内容

《虎妈战歌》的作者是一位有着中国血统的母亲在书中她介绍了自己超级严厉的育女经验该

书已经在美国引起了媒体风暴和激烈的争论

该书作者蔡美儿是耶鲁大学法学院教授也是两个少女的母亲蔡美儿在书中写道女儿索菲

在书中她这样描述中国的孩子不允许得B如果一个中国的小孩考试得了B父母就会发

怒吼孩子或者揪头发书中还写道她7岁大的大女儿如果练习钢琴没有达到完美的程度她会吼

孩子不让她上厕所直到她弹到完美为止

蔡美儿的教育方式似乎不能被有些中国的家长接受他们认为这对孩子太过苛刻但是对于

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

1 Do you have sense of humor2 Do you think itrsquos harder for old people to understand humor

Research suggests that old people if they1049011re healthycan still appreciate humor as muchas a younger person can They still smile and laugh when they get the joke Howeverthere isevidence to suggest that with aging we may lose our ability to comprehend more complex

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

前 言

阅读是语言学习考核的重点和难点

不少读者已经注意到近几年的中高考阅读理解题在选材方面非常注重题材

的多样化交际化和生活化通过故事报道议论文等形式关注社会热点现象突出

语境设计和语言运用同时逐渐重视英语文化的渗透这种趋势说明在保留考查学

生的语言知识和技能的同时对学生的语言应用能力和跨文化交际能力也提出了更

高的要求这正是教学改革的趋势自主招生考核的动向新教学大纲精神的体现

本套丛书正是在这一背景下应运而生

本套丛书旨在给学生提供晨读使用的英语时文材料对最新热点话题的捕捉使

得选材贴近生活能够为学生所喜闻乐见同时结合晨读时段的特点和训练形式精

心编排板块能帮助学生安排好晨读节奏有效提高英语语感扩充阅读知识面对学

生提高阅读水平有很大促进作用

丛书按年级设置初中每个年级一本高中则只设置一本共4本单册每册分

20周安排晨读内容每周从周一~周五安排时文朗读共100篇文章

根据各年级学生接受水平的不同本套丛书有序排列循序渐进逐年级体现难

度的递进性比如在选文长度上初中大致在 150~300单词高中则在 350~600单

词题材上基本覆盖了时下的热门现象和热点话题类别包括自然地理科学技术政

治经济体育运动养生保健教育学习调查研究环球博览节日习俗娱乐休闲交

通通信社会百态职场人生文化生活等

丛书中每篇时文包括六部分一ldquo给力热身站rdquo是根据选文内容设计的开放式

问题供学生思考回答书后附有参考答案二ldquo晨读文选rdquo三ldquo生词rdquo将选文中较难

的词按出现的顺序逐一标出并解释四ldquo长难句分析rdquo对选文中较复杂的句子进行

了句法上的分析帮助学生更好地理解文章同时巩固所学语法知识五ldquo译文rdquo是

对选文的翻译六ldquo推荐语句背诵rdquo此部分将文中较为精彩经典的语句标出供学

生记忆由此可以看出本套丛书在扩充学生知识面加大文化浸染的同时也能兼

顾到学生的语言能力提高其获取信息分辨整合信息加工发展信息的能力

传统的晨读文章多半选取的是富有哲理的美文这种文章易于背诵语言优美

但题材相对单一容易产生审美疲劳本套丛书选文时代感强题材丰富话题新颖

文化色彩浓厚能极大地扩充学生的知识面以便学生了解世界正在发生的事情正

在谈论的话题从而帮助学生彻底摆脱ldquo两耳不闻窗外事一心只读圣贤书rdquo的传统

形象

需要指出的是丛书的定位是时文选取的都是当下最真实最鲜活的语言由于

题材包罗万象读者难免会觉得有些文章生词数量稍多尤其是在科技说明文中这

是不可避免的读者大可不必望而止步首先较难的词尤其是专业词汇在文中或

生词部分都已标出不影响阅读其次对照参考译文理解原文毫无问题再次如果

为了完全照顾学生的现有语言水平而对文章作大幅度的修改这样学生的词汇量得

不到提高同时也影响语言的真实性和时文信息的有效性其实在真实的语境下进

行浸润式阅读读者能在不知不觉当中提高自身的语言能力当然这也意味着本书

中的文章同样值得在晨读以外的时间好好研读

另外为了保证文章富有时代感部分选文来自报刊网络在此对原作者深表谢

意如有疑问可联系press_jjecusteducn而经过2013年的修订之后本次修订再版

又选取并更换了一批时代感更强的选文希望能继续得到广大读者的认可囿于编者

水平不足之处敬请读者指正

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

1 Do you have sense of humor2 Do you think itrsquos harder for old people to understand humor

Research suggests that old people if they1049011re healthycan still appreciate humor as muchas a younger person can They still smile and laugh when they get the joke Howeverthere isevidence to suggest that with aging we may lose our ability to comprehend more complex

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

前 言

阅读是语言学习考核的重点和难点

不少读者已经注意到近几年的中高考阅读理解题在选材方面非常注重题材

的多样化交际化和生活化通过故事报道议论文等形式关注社会热点现象突出

语境设计和语言运用同时逐渐重视英语文化的渗透这种趋势说明在保留考查学

生的语言知识和技能的同时对学生的语言应用能力和跨文化交际能力也提出了更

高的要求这正是教学改革的趋势自主招生考核的动向新教学大纲精神的体现

本套丛书正是在这一背景下应运而生

本套丛书旨在给学生提供晨读使用的英语时文材料对最新热点话题的捕捉使

得选材贴近生活能够为学生所喜闻乐见同时结合晨读时段的特点和训练形式精

心编排板块能帮助学生安排好晨读节奏有效提高英语语感扩充阅读知识面对学

生提高阅读水平有很大促进作用

丛书按年级设置初中每个年级一本高中则只设置一本共4本单册每册分

20周安排晨读内容每周从周一~周五安排时文朗读共100篇文章

根据各年级学生接受水平的不同本套丛书有序排列循序渐进逐年级体现难

度的递进性比如在选文长度上初中大致在 150~300单词高中则在 350~600单

词题材上基本覆盖了时下的热门现象和热点话题类别包括自然地理科学技术政

治经济体育运动养生保健教育学习调查研究环球博览节日习俗娱乐休闲交

通通信社会百态职场人生文化生活等

丛书中每篇时文包括六部分一ldquo给力热身站rdquo是根据选文内容设计的开放式

问题供学生思考回答书后附有参考答案二ldquo晨读文选rdquo三ldquo生词rdquo将选文中较难

的词按出现的顺序逐一标出并解释四ldquo长难句分析rdquo对选文中较复杂的句子进行

了句法上的分析帮助学生更好地理解文章同时巩固所学语法知识五ldquo译文rdquo是

对选文的翻译六ldquo推荐语句背诵rdquo此部分将文中较为精彩经典的语句标出供学

生记忆由此可以看出本套丛书在扩充学生知识面加大文化浸染的同时也能兼

顾到学生的语言能力提高其获取信息分辨整合信息加工发展信息的能力

传统的晨读文章多半选取的是富有哲理的美文这种文章易于背诵语言优美

但题材相对单一容易产生审美疲劳本套丛书选文时代感强题材丰富话题新颖

文化色彩浓厚能极大地扩充学生的知识面以便学生了解世界正在发生的事情正

在谈论的话题从而帮助学生彻底摆脱ldquo两耳不闻窗外事一心只读圣贤书rdquo的传统

形象

需要指出的是丛书的定位是时文选取的都是当下最真实最鲜活的语言由于

题材包罗万象读者难免会觉得有些文章生词数量稍多尤其是在科技说明文中这

是不可避免的读者大可不必望而止步首先较难的词尤其是专业词汇在文中或

生词部分都已标出不影响阅读其次对照参考译文理解原文毫无问题再次如果

为了完全照顾学生的现有语言水平而对文章作大幅度的修改这样学生的词汇量得

不到提高同时也影响语言的真实性和时文信息的有效性其实在真实的语境下进

行浸润式阅读读者能在不知不觉当中提高自身的语言能力当然这也意味着本书

中的文章同样值得在晨读以外的时间好好研读

另外为了保证文章富有时代感部分选文来自报刊网络在此对原作者深表谢

意如有疑问可联系press_jjecusteducn而经过2013年的修订之后本次修订再版

又选取并更换了一批时代感更强的选文希望能继续得到广大读者的认可囿于编者

水平不足之处敬请读者指正

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

frontal lobe 额叶

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

1 Do you have sense of humor2 Do you think itrsquos harder for old people to understand humor

Research suggests that old people if they1049011re healthycan still appreciate humor as muchas a younger person can They still smile and laugh when they get the joke Howeverthere isevidence to suggest that with aging we may lose our ability to comprehend more complex

015

七年级 第2周

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

1 Do you have sense of humor2 Do you think itrsquos harder for old people to understand humor

Research suggests that old people if they1049011re healthycan still appreciate humor as muchas a younger person can They still smile and laugh when they get the joke Howeverthere isevidence to suggest that with aging we may lose our ability to comprehend more complex

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

1 Do you have sense of humor2 Do you think itrsquos harder for old people to understand humor

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

Sense of Humor Ages幽默感会老去

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

forms of humorScientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the

brain1049011s frontal lobes People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punchlines and prefer slapstick humor instead

There1049011s also evidence that the functions located in the brain1049011s frontal lobes may be the firstto diminish with aging This may explain why in a recent experiment older people performed muchworse than younger ones in comprehending more complex forms of humor

Of courseit1049011s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in thekind of humor people prefer social settingand health Maybe an elderly person would laughat a joke if she were socializing with a group of her friendsbut not laugh with her neighborwhom she doesn1049011t know well or finds annoying

appreciate [əˈpriːʃIeIt] v 欣赏

evidence [ˈevIdəns] n 证据

comprehend [ˌkɒmprIˈhend] v 理解

complex [ˈkɒmpleks] adj 复杂的

frontal lobe 额叶

punch lines 妙语

slapstick [ˈslaeligpstIk] n 打闹剧

diminish [dIˈmInIʃ] v 减少减弱

socialize [ˈsəʊʃəlaIz] v 与helliphellip交往

1 ① This may explain ② why in a recent experiment older people performed much worse than youngerones in comprehending more complex forms of humor此句中 ① 为主句② 是动词 explain的宾语从句该从句的主干为 older people performed muchworse than younger ones

2 Of courseit 1049011 s also important to take into account such factors as social differences in the kind ofhumor people prefersocial settingand health此句的句型为 it1049011s important to take sth into account因此句 sth所包含的内容比较长所以放到了

into account之后以ldquosuchas(例如)rdquo列举 factors包括 social differencessocial setting和 healthin the kind of humor people prefer为介词短语修饰differencespeople prefer为定语修饰humor

研究表明和年轻人一样健康的老人们仍然能够欣赏幽默他们在理解了玩笑时依旧会面带

微笑或大笑但是研究也证实随着年龄的增长我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力

科学家们相信理解复杂的玩笑主要是靠我们脑前叶的功能脑前叶右部受损的人群在理解笑

话中妙语方面受阻而这类人也更倾向于浅显幽默

有证明显示脑前叶功能会随着年老而最先退化这也解释了最近的实验中为什么年长者们

对较复杂的幽默形式的理解明显不如年轻人

当然综合考虑其他因素也很重要比如影响个体的幽默倾向的社会差异社会背景健康状

况也许和朋友相处时一个老人会因为玩笑而大笑但是和不熟悉或恼人的邻里相处时就不会

大笑
