Young children don't get sarcasm(冷嘲热讽)—but by the time they're teens,it can be their default(默认的) mode.Here's what science tells us about the mental skills behind that ironic expression.If I were to tell you that sarcasm is one of our most powerful linguistic tools,your first response might reasonably be,yeah right! Perhaps you'd even simply assume that I was sinking into a little irony myself.Parents or teachers of teenagers,in particular,may find it hard to believe that this annoying linguistic habit is a sign of a flexible and inventive mind.Yet that is exactly what psychologists and neuroscientists have been arguing.Psychologists and neuroscientists have found that sarcasm requires the brain to jump through numerous hoops to arrive at a correct interpretation,requiring more brainpower than literal statements.
And although it's often dismissed as childish comments,sarcasm is actually evidence of maturity — as it takes years for a child's developing brain to fully grasp and master it.An understanding of sarcasm's use in humour develops particularly late — at around nine or ten years of age on average.
As a form of humour,sarcasm may also help us to deal with frustration or stress.It can be a way of letting off steam.Interestingly,studies have found that depressed and anxious individuals' use of sarcasm increased over the pandemic — which may reflect this coping mechanism.In general,though,the primary motivation of sarcasm will be linguistic — to add colour to the messages that we hope to convey.
It may initially feel like a shock when parents notice their children deploying sarcasm.Parents may feel particularly helpless when dealing with a teenager who injects it into almost all interactions,as if they struggle to express any sincere emotions.But should we blame teens for employing this versatile(多功能的) tool?Perhaps it's better seen as the useful practice of a vital ability.
(1)、What can we learn from the first paragraph?A、Young children are born with sarcasm. B、The writer was addicted to getting sarcasm. C、The brain needs to complete many difficult steps before getting sarcasm. D、People might believe it right that sarcasm is one of our most powerful linguistic tools.(2)、Which of the following is the benefit of getting sarcasm?A、Making teens become mature. B、Coping with difficult situations. C、Overcoming the pandemic. D、Adding more messages.(3)、What can we infer about the teens?A、It's easy for them to get sarcasm. B、They are to blame for using sarcasm. C、They are lacking in sincere emotions. D、They use sarcasm so often.(4)、What is the author's attitude to teens' sarcasm?A、Favourable. B、Intolerant. C、Doubtful. D、Unclear. -

Humour is the most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying "no",criticizing,and getting the other fellow to do what you want without losing his face.For some jobs,it is the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss sensitive subjects because a serious dialogue may start a riot.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
Humour is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating(升级) into a big deal.Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport.Airborne,he felt miserable,and he knew she did,too.Two hours after she returned home,she received a long-distance phone call."Person-to-person for Mrs.I.A.Pologize," intoned the operator."That's spelled ‘P' as in..." In a twinkling(眨眼间),the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire.
An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist(赞助) in a major charity drive.Austerity was a fashion in England at the time,and she had asked her children to serve the meal.She knew that anything could happen...and it did,just as her son,with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker,brought in a large roast turkey;he successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door,but the backswing(回摆) threw the turkey onto the dining-room floor.
The boy stood rooted;the guests staring at their plates.Moving only her head,the hostess looked at her son,"No harm,Daniel," she said,"just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen..." She enunciated(发音) clearly so he would think about what she was saying,"and bring in the other one."
A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to laughter.
(1)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Humour is the key to success in our work and lives. B、Humour enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively. C、Humour is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face. D、Humour makes fun of any difficult situation.(2)、Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?A、Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant(容忍) of racial and religious differences. B、To make up differences,humour is the most acceptable and effective means. C、People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness. D、Only by adopting the means of humour can one succeed in some jobs.(3)、What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?A、The backward movement of the door. B、The son's rude behavior. C、Someone happened to be at the door. D、The bird raised by the family.(4)、What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?A、It would make the embarrassing situation worse. B、The son would refuse to serve the guests any more. C、The son would talk back and make his mother angrier. D、The guests would leave before the dinner was over. -

Music is said to be a universal language.But for Chase Burton,a deaf filmmaker,music has always been a different experience.
"When I was a kid,I'd lie on the floor above our garage so that I could feel the vibrations (震动) from my brother's band rocking out below my body.That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music," said Burton.
In 2016,his ability to experience music changed completely,thanks to the California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs.It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to "feel" music through their skin.The suit can translate audio into a range of vibrating pulses (脉冲) that are felt at 24 contact points.Burton has been wearing the suit for four years."The sound drubs different parts of my body," said Burton."Maybe it will strike me in my ankles first.And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back and wrists."
The creators want to extend the musical experience beyond the deaf community.In 2018,they gave out 150 vibrating suits at a rock concert where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear.Since then,the creators have been working to improve the technology and want the suit to become a consumer product accessible to all,which will be used in live sports broadcasts,or video games.
As a writer and director,Burton has been working to make the movie world more inclusive.For his latest movie he hired all-deaf staff and actors.Burton hopes that the vibrating suits will be available to his film audiences in the future.He believes that the suits can improve emotions while people are watching a movie for normal people as well as the deaf."I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music or movies don't always need to be enjoyed through the ears," said Burton.
(1)、What does the underlined word "drubs" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Hits. B、Affects. C、Changes. D、Reflects.(2)、Why were normal people provided with the vibrating suit by the creators?A、To attract more users. B、To promote the sale. C、To carry out an experiment. D、To make people enjoy music.(3)、What does Burton expect of the vibrating suit in the future?A、It will be used by his film audiences. B、It will help improve the actors' emotions. C、It will become the main theme in his movies. D、It will change the normal's attitudes to the deaf.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、A Deaf Filmmaker's Musical Experiences B、The Application of Vibrating Suits to Films C、Wearable Devices for Deaf People Are Coming D、Vibrating Suits Allow Deaf People to Feel Music -
