During a recent class, Dutton used apples to brilliantly explain the effects of bullying.Rosie Dutton started out by showing the class two perfect-looking apples. But unknown to the students, she had dropped one of the apples repeatedly on the floor. She picked up the dropped apple and began insulting(侮辱;损害) it.“I started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was ugly and it was a horrible color," Dutton wrote."I told them that because l didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either.”They passed that apple around in a circle and the kids joined in on the insults. Then, Dutton took a completely different approach with the other apple.“We then passed another apple around and started to say kind words to it,”the 31-year-old wrote.She eventually cut both of them open to reveal that the apple that had been insulted was bruised (青肿的) inside. The apple that received praise wasn't.“When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling,” Dutton wrote in her post. “If we hadn't cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”“Unlike an apple, we have the ability to stop this from happening. We can teach childrenthat it's not OK to say unkind things to each other,” the 31-year-old explained in her post. She later added, “More and more hurt and damage happens inside if nobody does anything to stop the bullying.

They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine.①_________.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and keep a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. ②_________. In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4﹣6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30more times in a group of people. ③_________. However, it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.④_________. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor are they willing to socialize outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self﹣entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not progress much better due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field(制造业) with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world. ⑤_________.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.A. Laughter creates a friendly atmosphere in relationships between people.B. Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.C. Humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually worn away.D. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑)from jokes you get on the Internet.E. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, prevent aging and promote a long life.F. From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them.G. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.Ⅳ.语法填空The dictionary seems pretty simple. Words ①_____(list) in order, and you simply turn to the right page and find the word you're looking for. But ②_____ (actual), there's something you might not know about the dictionary.We think of dictionaries as large heavy ③_____ (book) that include everything. But there were not any simple, common words in early English dictionaries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, thanks ④_____, the Renaissance's(文艺复兴的) influence, English doubled its vocabulary by ⑤_____ (borrow) words from other languages.

I have personally experienced the power of humor in my own life and interactions with others.One example of the power of humor was during a tense meeting at work. The atmosphere was tense and everyone was on edge. I decided to break the tension by making a joke about the situation. The joke was not offensive, but it was enough to lighten the mood and get everyone laughing. This helped to ease the tension and allowed everyone to relax and focus on finding a solution to the problem at hand.Another example of the power of humor was during a difficult time in my personal life. I was going through a breakup and was feeling down. A friend of mine came over and instead of trying to offer advice or cheer me up, shesimply made me laugh. We spent the evening watching funny videos and telling jokes. By the end of the night, I was feeling much better and was able to see things in a more positive light.Humor can also be used as a tool for social change. Comedians like Trevor Noah and Hasan Minhaj use humor to address serious social issues and bring attention to important topics.

This social cohesion is fundamental to mental health, as strong relationships provide a support network that bolsters resilience and enhances overall life satisfaction.Furthermore, research has linked a good sense of humor with enhanced cognitive function. Engaging with humorous content stimulates the brain, promoting creativity,problem-solving, and memory.

Regular mental exercise of this nature can contribute to cognitive preservation andpotentially delay age-related decline.humor contributes to a healthier physical state. Laughter has been shown to boost the immune system, increasing the production of antibodies and activating immune cells.
