Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled every Friday, says Joel Goodman, founder of the Humor Project, a humor consulting group in Saratoga Springs, New York.

乔尔·古德曼，幽默项目的创始人，幽默咨询公司位于纽约州萨拉托加斯普林斯，他说太多人将工作看作一个五天的监狱，每周五才获得假释。

Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring some of their childlike spirit to the job.

幽默打开了办公室的监狱，因为它让成年人将一些孩子般的精神带到工作中。

According to Howard Polio, professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, an office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productive employees.

根据霍华德·波利奥，田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的心理学教授，有幽默休息时间的办公室是拥有满意和高效员工的办公室。

Polio conducted a study that proved humor can help workers excel at routine production tasks.

波利奥进行了一项研究，证明幽默可以帮助工人在常规生产任务中表现出色。

Employees perform better when they have fun.

员工在享受乐趣时表现更好。

In large corporations with a hierarchy of power, there is often no outlet for stress.

Passage 2.

第二段。

Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of a changed gene in obese mice.

肥胖小鼠中最新发现的一种改变基因引起了公众的兴趣。

The news was made known by Rockefeller University geneticist Jeffrey Friedman.

这一消息由洛克菲勒大学遗传学家杰弗里·弗里德曼公布。

The researchers believe this gene influences development of a hormone that tells the organism how fat or full it is.

研究人员认为，这种基因影响一种激素的发育，该激素告知生物体其脂肪程度或饱腹感。

Those with the changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue and thus can't tell when to stop eating.

携带这种改变基因的人可能无法感知何时吃饱或是否有足够的脂肪组织，因此无法判断何时停止进食。

The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans.

研究人员还报告称，在人类中发现了一种与小鼠肥胖基因几乎相同的基因。

The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated, however.

然而，这种基因在人类中的作用尚未得到证实。

Still, professionals like University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum reacted enthusiastically.

尽管如此，像佛蒙特大学心理学家埃丝特·罗特布拉姆这样的专业人士反应热烈。

This research indicates that people really are born with a tendency to have a certain weight.

这项研究表明，人们确实天生就有保持一定体重的倾向。

Just as they are to have a particular skin color or height.

就像他们天生具有特定肤色或身高一样。

Actually, behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of the total weight variation is programmed in the genes while height is almost entirely genetically determined.

实际上，行为遗传学家认为，总变异中不到一半的体重是由基因编程的，而身高几乎完全由基因决定。

Whatever role genes play, Americans are getting fatter.

无论基因起什么作用，美国人正变得越来越胖。

A survey by the Center for Disease Control found that obesity has increased greatly over the last 10 years.

疾病控制中心的一项调查发现，过去10年中肥胖症大幅增加。

Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans' overeating.

如此迅速的变化凸显了环境因素的作用，如丰富高脂食物在导致美国人过度饮食中的角色。

The Center for Disease Control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago.

疾病控制中心还发现，青少年的体力活动比十年前少得多。

Accepting that weight is predetermined can relieve guilt for overweight people, but people's belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute to obesity.

接受体重是预先确定的可以减轻超重人群的内疚感，但人们认为自己无法控制体重的信念本身可能导致肥胖。

Qualities of a relationship such as openness, compassion, and mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex.

关系中的品质，如开放、同情和心理刺激，是大多数人无论性别都关心的。

But, judging from the questionnaire response, they are more important to women than to men.

但从问卷回答来看，这些品质对女性比对男性更重要。

Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship, women rated these qualities above all others.

当被要求考虑亲密友谊的要素时，女性将这些品质置于所有其他品质之上。

Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in interests, selected by 77 % of men, and responsiveness in a crisis, chosen by 61% of male respondents.

男性对这些品质的优先级较低，而更倾向于兴趣相似性（77%的男性选择）和危机中的响应能力（61%的男性受访者选择）。

Mental stimulation, ranked third in popularity by men as well as women, was the only area of overlap.

心理刺激，在男性和女性中均排名第三受欢迎，是唯一的重叠领域。

Among men, only 28% named openness as an important quality Caring was picked by just 23%.

在男性中，只有28%的人将开放列为重要品质；关心仅被23%的人选择。

It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships, they are referring to emotional factors, while men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's company.

从她们的选择可以明显看出，当女性谈论亲密友谊时，她们指的是情感因素，而男性则强调从朋友陪伴中获得的乐趣。

That is, when a man speaks of a friend, he is likely to be talking about someone he does things with, a teammate, a fellow hobbyist, a drinking buddy.

也就是说，当男性谈论朋友时，他可能指的是与他一起做事的人，如队友、同好、酒友。

These activities are the fabric of the friendship.

这些活动是友谊的基石。

It is a doing relationship, in which similarity in interests is the key bond.

这是一种行动关系，其中兴趣相似性是关键纽带。

This factor was a consideration of less than 11% of women.

这个因素不到11%的女性考虑。

Women opt for a warm, emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely.

女性选择温暖、情感丰富的氛围，其中沟通自由流畅。

Activity is mere background.

活动仅仅是背景。

Lastly, men, as we have seen, have serious questions about each other's loyalty.

最后，正如我们所看到的，男性对彼此的忠诚度有严重疑问。

Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis.

也许这就是为什么他们如此强调危机中的响应能力。

Someone I can call on for help.

一个我可以求助的人。

Women, as their testimonies indicate, are generally more secure with each other, and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly.

女性，正如她们的证词所示，通常彼此间更有安全感，因此更可能轻视这个问题。

In follow-up interviews, this was confirmed numerous times, as woman after woman indicated that being there when needed was taken for granted.

在后续访谈中，这一点被多次证实，因为一个接一个的女性表示，在需要时出现被视为理所当然。

As for the hazards of friendship, more than a few relationships have been shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal.

至于友谊的危险，不少关系因残酷的竞争和背叛感而破裂。

This applies to both men and women, but unequally.

这适用于男性和女性，但程度不均。

In comparison, nearly twice as many men complained about these issues as women.

相比之下，抱怨这些问题的男性数量几乎是女性的两倍。

Further, while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female friendship, men are plagued in almost equal amounts by two additional issues, lack of frankness and a fear of appearing unmanly.

此外，虽然竞争和背叛是女性友谊的主要刺痛，但男性几乎同样受到另外两个问题的困扰：缺乏坦诚和害怕显得不男子气概。

Obviously, for a man, a good friendship is hard to find.

显然，对男性来说，一段好的友谊很难找到。

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the lecture you have just heard.

问题16至18基于你刚刚听到的讲座。

Question 16. What quality do men value most concerning friendship, according to a questionnaire response?

问题16。根据问卷回答，男性最看重友谊中的哪个品质？

Question 17. What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?

问题17。当女性谈论亲密友谊时，她们指的是什么？

Question 18. What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?

问题18。什么可能威胁男性和女性的友谊？

The partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and the scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado at what is now the Dinosaur National Monument.

在犹他州和科罗拉多州，如今是恐龙国家纪念地的地方，发现了超过20具恐龙的部分骨骼和约300具更多恐龙的散落骨头。

Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the largest cities of the United States and Canada.

许多最佳标本如今可以在美国和加拿大的最大城市的自然历史博物馆中看到。

This dinosaur pit is the largest and best-preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today.

这个恐龙坑是今天已知的最大、保存最完好的恐龙沉积层。

Many people get the idea from the mass of bones in the pit wall that some disaster such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area.

许多人从坑壁中的大量骨头中得出想法，认为一些灾难，如火山爆发或突发洪水，在该地区杀死了一整群恐龙。

This could have happened, but it probably did not.

这有可能发生，但很可能没有。

The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit.

认为情况相反的主要原因是骨头的散落状态和沉积层的厚度。

In other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together, the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in their proper places.

在其他被认为动物一起死亡的沉积层中，骨骼通常是完整的，并且所有骨头往往都在正确的位置。

Rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here.

这里发现了圆形的化石骨头碎片。

These fragments got their smooth round shape by rolling along the stream bottom.

这些碎片通过沿溪底滚动获得了光滑的圆形形状。

In a mass killing, the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level.

在大规模死亡事件中，骨头会被同时留在溪流或湖底的同一水平面上。

But in this deposit, the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12 feet thick.

但在这个沉积层中，骨头分布在大约12英尺厚的砂岩带中。

The mixture of swamp dwellers and dry land types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from different places.

沼泽居住者和旱地类型的混合似乎也表明这个沉积层是来自不同地方的混合物。

The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard, not a place where they died.

坑区是一个大型恐龙墓地，而不是它们死亡的地方。

Most of the remains probably floated down an eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar.

大多数遗骸可能顺着一条向东流的河流漂流，直到被留在浅沙洲上。

Some of them may have come from far away dry land areas to the west.

其中一些可能来自西部遥远的旱地区域。

Perhaps they drowned trying to cross a small stream or were washed away during floods.

也许它们在试图穿越小溪时淹死，或在洪水期间被冲走。

Some of the swamp dwellers may have got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave.

一些沼泽居住者可能被困在后来成为它们坟墓的沙洲上。

Others may have floated for miles before being stranded.

其他可能漂流了数英里才搁浅。

Even today, similar events take place.

即使今天，类似事件仍在发生。

When floods come in the spring, sheep, cattle and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown.

当春天洪水来临时，羊、牛和鹿常常被上涨的水困住，经常淹死。

Their dead bodies float downstream until the flood recedes and leaves them stranded on a bar or shore where they lie half buried in the sand until they decay.

它们的尸体顺流而下，直到洪水退去，将它们搁浅在沙洲或岸边，半埋在沙中直到腐烂。

Early travelers on the Missouri River reported that shores and bars were often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that had died during spring floods.

密苏里河上的早期旅行者报告说，岸边和沙洲常常排列着在春季洪水中死亡的野牛的腐烂尸体。

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the lecture you have just heard.

问题19至22基于你刚刚听到的讲座。

Question 19. Where can many of the best dinosaur specimens be found in North America?

问题19。在北美，许多最佳恐龙标本可以在哪里找到？

Question 20. What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?

问题20。当许多人看到坑壁中的大量骨头时，会想到什么？

Question 21. What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones found in the pit?

问题21。演讲者对坑中发现的大量恐龙骨头有什么建议？

I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our own society.

我想特别谈谈在我们自己的社会中发展新养老方式的必要性。

Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents the way they would have in the old country.

这个国家的年轻人被指责不像在旧国家那样照顾他们的父母。

And this is true.

这是事实。

But it is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy.

但同样真实的是，老年人受到美国独立和自治理想的影响。

So we live alone, perhaps on the verge of starvation, in time without friends, but we are independent.

因此，我们独自生活，可能濒临饥饿，有时没有朋友，但我们是独立的。

This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group, although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical.

这种标准的美国风格已被强加于每个族裔群体，尽管对许多群体来说，这种理想并不实际。

It is a poor ideal, and pursuing it does a great deal of harm.

这是一个糟糕的理想，追求它会造成很大的伤害。

This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness.

这种独立的理想也包含了大量的无私。

In talking to today's young mothers, I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be.

在与当今的年轻母亲交谈时，我问她们认为自己将成为什么样的祖母。

I hear devoted, loving mothers say that when they are through raising their children, they have no intention of becoming grandmothers.

我听到忠诚、慈爱的母亲说，当她们抚养完孩子后，她们无意成为祖母。

They are astonished to hear that in most of the world, throughout most of its history, families have been three- or four-generation families, living under the same roof.

她们惊讶地听到，在世界大部分地区，在其大部分历史中，家庭都是三世或四世同堂，生活在同一屋檐下。

We have overemphasized the small family unit, father, mother, small children.

我们过度强调小家庭单位，父亲、母亲和小孩。

We think it is wonderful if grandma and grandpa, if they're still alive, can live alone.

如果祖父母还活着，能够独自生活，我们认为这很好。

We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way, and the only thing we can do for our daughter-in-law is to see as little of her as possible.

我们已达到这样的地步：认为我们能为孩子做的唯一事情就是不打扰他们，能为儿媳做的唯一事情就是尽可能少见她。

Old people's nursing homes, even the best run, are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit.

老年人的养老院，即使是经营最好的，也充满了那些认为能为孩子做的唯一事情就是当他们来访时显得快乐的老年人。

So in the end, older people have to devote all their energies to not being a burden.

因此，最终老年人必须倾注所有精力以不成为负担。

We are beginning to see what a tremendous price we've paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy.

我们开始看到我们为强调独立和自治付出了多么巨大的代价。

We've isolated old people, and we've cut off the children from their grandparents.

我们隔离了老年人，并切断了孩子们与祖父母的联系。

One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out.

我们今天有如此严重代沟的原因之一是祖父母已经退出。

Young people are being deprived of the thing they need most, perspective, to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.

年轻人被剥夺了他们最需要的东西，即视角，以了解为什么他们的父母行为如此古怪，以及为什么他们的祖父母说那些话。
