　　Do You Have a Sense of Humor?

　　Humor and laughter are good for us. There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In fact, every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive, healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives? ______ (46). Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson, has some answers.

　　Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think, “either you’ve got it, or you don’t.” Dr. Wilson points out that this is false. ______ (47)

　　The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth. ______ (48). (After all, when a baby laughs, we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humor!”) A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.

　　Sometimes people think that they don’t have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor. ______ (49). Then we will make others laugh, too.

　　A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life. One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.” Consider this sign from a store window. “Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal quality.” The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store’s excellent service. ______ (50).

　　解析：

　　46.B　文章以問題開頭，第一個(gè)問題涉及l(fā)aughter，第二個(gè)問題應(yīng)涉及與之并列的humor，且與下文的answers相照應(yīng)。故選B項(xiàng)。

　　47.D　與上文“false”相對(duì)，應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，表示真實(shí)的內(nèi)容。故選D項(xiàng)。

　　48.C　下文的“after all”表示轉(zhuǎn)折，說明上文亦應(yīng)提及baby和sense of humor兩個(gè)方面，故選C項(xiàng)。

　　49.A　上文提到Dr.Wilson的觀點(diǎn)，此處應(yīng)為進(jìn)一步闡述其他方式的幽默表達(dá)。故選A項(xiàng)。

　　50.F　該句與下文Dr.Wilson的話相對(duì)應(yīng)，表示“一個(gè)人可能本身并不幽默，但重要的是他能發(fā)現(xiàn)幽默”。故選F項(xiàng)。
