A local butcher (屠夫) built the Edward Mooney House between 1785 and 1789 after the Revolutionary War. As one of the oldest town-houses in New York City, the building has served as a store, a hotel, a restaurant, a Chinese club, and so on. It now serves as a bank.

At the south of Columbus Park, youll find whats left of The Five Points. This slum neighborhood (貧民窟) was made famous in the Gangs of New York movie. Its now opposite to the New York County Supreme Court.

It was one of my first lessons as an international student in New York City. My US history teacher had just finished his lesson. He sat back in his armchair comfortably, and asked, “Was there anybody doing anything interesting yesterday?”
“I drew a panda, which was lovely!” a girl beside me shouted. Then, the talk developed rapidly. Someone said he had received his learners driving permit, while another mentioned that she had spent the first salary from her part-time job. Everybody seemed to have something to say. Although there was a range of people, from different backgrounds, people seemed to feel at home with each other.
Not me. I stayed aloof from the discussion. I looked through my notes until I looked up to see another teacher come in and share some cookies he had made yesterday. The beautifully-baked cookies sent out a good smell, which made it impossible to concentrate on my work any longer. However, my seat was in the back row, and I was too shy to stand up and take a cookie for myself.
“Go ahead and have one!” It was the history teacher, “If you dont stand up, nobody is going to feed you!”
I was still hesitant, but I got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy” we were.
The “cookie crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United States. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “Nobody is going to feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn.
24. How does the writer feel about the class in the US according to the text?
A. Bad. B. Quiet. C. Lively. D. Lonely.
25. What does the underlined phrase “aloof from” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. In favor of. B. Instead of. C. Apart from. D. Away from.
26. What prevented the writer from getting a cookie for himself at first?
A. His disappointment. B. His shyness. C. His weakness. D. His background.
27. What did the “cookie crisis” mean in the last paragraph to the writer?
D
For those who study the development of intelligence in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware of (意識到) itself has a high level of intelligence.
Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (影像). Many animals fail this exercise, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.
Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.
“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins”.
The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot square mirror on a wall of the animals play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.
The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.
Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.
Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”
32. Mirror tests can tell us whether animals ___ .
A. have large brains B. have self-awareness
C. are intelligent D. want to play with mirrors
33. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?
A. They are most familiar to readers. B. They are big favourites with zoo visitors.
C. They are included in the study by Reiss. D. They are already known to be intelligent.
34. Why is Happy considered to be different from Maxine and Patty?
A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror. B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.
C. She painted a mark on her own face. D. She found the hidden camera.
35. How did the elephants try to find what was behind the mirror?
A. By looking into it. B. By walking around it.
C. By using their nose. D. By watching the visitors reaction.

The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. We want people to feel happy with their lives. There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. And I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. So they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldnt stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. You might be very pleased with the results.
A. Everyone is naturally good at laughing.
B. So if youre under stress, then start laughing.
C. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
D. Everybody wants to be happy and this is a method to feel happy.
E. Laughter has been shown to improve the physical and mental health.
