Lila and De Witt were born in the same year.DPerhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.12.

A. A sense of humor is not an inborn ability.B. A sense of humor can be developed in our life.C. A sense of humor helps us from several aspects.D. A sense of humor means more than telling jokes.E. A sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.F. A sense of humor helps people to better enjoy life.16. _____ As awareness of the benefits of humor increases, most of us want to get all the laughs wecan. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.17. _____ Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think that whenit comes to a sense of humor, “either you’ve got it or you don’t.”This is false. What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.18. _____ The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling aremature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humor. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humor.”) Your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself—then you will make them laugh too.19. _____ Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly thatthey do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes,a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations asthey happen. In fact, one of the best definition of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation”.20. _____ There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humor, but joke tellingis only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humor benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humor when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humor.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共40分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多两处。
