Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.There are a couple of things to know about the use of humor in a speech. One thing is to distinguish healthy and unhealthy humor. Unhealthy humor usually has a victim. It is based on differences. Healthy humor is taken from our everyday experiences and is based on the things people have in common. Therefore it unites them.Another thing is that when sharing humor with the audience a speaker has to take into account what part of the day it is. The "morning" audience can be tough, because everyone is just getting into work; the "lunch" audience is better, but the best time for sharing humor is dinner-time, because people relax after their working day and are more likely to feel the speaker.There are certain rules that are strongly advised to be followed. The primary rule is not to offend anybody by a joke. The jokes are not supposed to relate to the audience but to the speaker himself. When a speaker shares his personal stories he will be better accepted by the audience. He can kid about his fame, problems, image, etc. However, he does not have to belittle himself or sacrifice his reputation for a laugh. Besides, the jokes and humorous stories that are used by the speaker have to relate directly to the topic of his speech. The speaker is supposed to speak clearly and keep from laughing at his own story or joke while telling it, so that he can make it clear and to the point. Finally, once a joke is said it may not be repeated once more. So the speaker must not repeat a joke that fails or one that works.And, remember these tips always work: personal jokes, short remarks that go well with the speech, good choice of vivid words and appropriate body gestures.

26. Healthy humor differs from unhealthy humor in that it is________.

  • A.intended to enrich one’s experiences
  • B.linked to the things that people share
  • C.used most frequently to unite victims
  • D.based mostly on the differences in life

  2. Too much importance must not be attached to the wrong acts done by children, particularly if they happen to be of a minor nature. Many children are likely to be in the habit of stealing, neglecting studies, or using bad language. In nearly every case, the root cause of the trouble is the fact that proper care of the child is not taken in the house. But if the parents are wise, they would correct their children’s faults by paying more attention to them. Whatever the case, one thing should never be done. They should not be compelled to change for the better under fear of the rod. Physical punishment does not improve them. It only makes them worse than before.

  8. Passage Three  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Are passwords out-of-date? It is starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them.These days a typical Internet user has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to generate a different password for each one, and each password needs to be extremely complicated, with a mix of letters, symbols, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head?Most people do not bother. Some just create one password and use it everywhere. Others might have a few passwords—one for all their banking and financial stuff, one for their social networks, one for email accounts. Problem is that if one site gets hacked, the bad guys now have the password you use elsewhere. These attacks are happening so frequently these days that you might as well assume there is no way to keep a password secret.Computer scientists realize the system is broken, and they are looking for alternatives. But most attempts have not been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and many people find them scary and don’t want to use them. Smart cards can be lost or stolen. Scientists have tried all sorts of other approaches, but they end up back with passwords. They are the least worst in a series of bad choices.Markus Jakobsson, a researcher in computer science, has produced something he calls"fastwords." Instead of inventing a password, you join three simple words that come from a thought known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and ran over a frog that ended up flat, you might choose"frog work flat." You can enter the three words in any order, and the system still knows that you are you. If your mind goes totally blank, the fastwords system will tell thought and thus the three keywords.The fastwords system represents a step in the right direction, but it is not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come up with something radically different-and radically better-than what we have today.

    31.Today people find passwords________.

    • A.difficult to create
    • B.hard to remember
    • C.easy to figure out
    • D.apt to be replaced
  9. We learn from paragraph 2 that many people use passwords________.

    • A.without due caution
    • B.in a rational manner
    • C.with frequent changes
    • D.in simple combinations
  10. According to paragraph 3, a joke should support________.

    • A.the nature of an issue
    • B.the fame of a speaker
    • C.the subject of a speech
    • D.the taste of an audience
