It’s never too early to talk about careers with children. The topic was put forward by my daughter last week. “I want to become a news reporter,” my daughter Jane said. I smiled and was surprisingly excited.

“You mean you want to be like Daddy?” I asked. “No,” Jane said. “It will be nothing like what you do. I’m not interested in writing about my family. That’s not reporting.” “But I write something funny,” I explained. “Yeah, but I want to report on important things, like politics (政治),” Jane said. “What you write about is fun, and you get to meet cool people, but that’s not what I want to do.”

Jane wasn’t telling a joke. When I invited Jane to meet Taylor Swift and watch one of the world’s most popular singers perform, she at first refused. After meeting Taylor Swift several times, Jane still didn’t show any interest in the entertainment world or reporting on movie stars or singers.

Jane often reads news online. Besides watching nightly news, she reads breaking stories. She is interested in news gathering (新闻采访) and how a story is written. “I really think I could become a reporter,” Jane said. “Do you think I could do it?” “Why not?” I said. “The news will always be there, and someone has to make it known to the public. If news is your interest, read, write and work hard. You’ll be surprised at how far you’ll go.”

I’m glad Jane has found out what she wants to do in the future. Knowing what one wants to do in the future is very important because it can lead him or her to it.

(  ) 16. What is Jane interested in doing?

A. Becoming a politician.        B. Writing something funny.

C. Writing about her brother.     D. Reporting on something important.

(  ) 17. How did Jane feel about meeting Taylor Swift?

A. She felt very proud of it.      B. She showed little interest.

C. She became very confused.    D. She was completely surprised.

(  ) 18. What does the underlined part “do it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Become a reporter.  B. Read news online.  C. Watch nightly news.  D. Meet famous singers.

(  ) 19. What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter’s dream?

A. Worried.   B. Doubtful.      C. Supportive.   D. Impatient.

(  ) 20. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?

A. We should have a big dream.   B. We should do important things.

C. We should make a career plan.  D. We should talk to parents more.

C

Humour has been considered a sign of high intelligence throughout human history. For example, people tell jokes to show their cleverness. And while many studies show the close relationship between intelligence and humour in adults, there is less research on the topic in children. Now, new research carried out on Turkish schoolchildren has made a great discovery.

For the new study, more than 200 children made comments on 10 newly drawn cartoons. Seven experts then gave scores to them according to the funniness of the comments and their relevance (关联性) to the cartoons.

When these children’s intelligence and humour performance were compared, the researchers found that intelligence had a great influence on the children’s humour ability. They also found that children with higher levels of general knowledge were better able to produce humour. Besides, the study also shows that this kind of connection appears to be much stronger in children than in adults.

While the study shows intelligence can influence the humour of children and adults differently, the authors say there is one important thing we should pay attention to. Both humour and intelligence are shaped by cultural beliefs and values. A joke considered funny in one culture may be tedious in another. Likewise, an action may be considered a sign of high intelligence in one culture but other cultures may find it improper. Thus, we should keep this in mind when we talk about the influence of intelligence on humorous behaviour.

“We are really interested in the quality of humour made by children. Humour is often used for entertainment by adults, but children mostly use it to make themselves better accepted by people around them,” said Professor Ugur. “So, teachers! Next time you look at the ‘class clowns (students in a class who behave in a funny or silly way)’, do not consider them foolish. It is highly likely that those ‘class clowns’, who have great intelligence, are seeking acceptance (寻求认可).”

(  ) 21. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To correct a wrong opinion.        B. To lead to the main topic.

C. To show the nature of adult humour.  D. To explain the importance of humour.

(  ) 22. What does the new study find?

A. Adults usually use humour to attract friends.

B. Children are better at using humour than adults.

C. Adults’ humour comes from their general knowledge.

D. Children’s intelligence has an effect on humour.

(  ) 23. What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Boring.   B. Interesting.    C. Surprising.   D. Relaxing.

(  ) 24. What should be considered when we study humour and intelligence?

A. One’s culture.   B. One’s education.  C. One’s health condition.  D. One’s body language.

(  ) 25. What does Professor Ugur probably think of the class clowns?

A. They are strange.        B. They want to be accepted.

C. They are foolish.        D. They are embarrassed.
