People have always enjoyed laughing, and there has always been humor. One of the most well-known and well-loved types of comedy is called 36 . Stand-up comedy is special 37 the comedian is right there in front of the audience and may talk directly to audience members. A stand-up comedian may make fun of an audience member, or he or she might decide to tell different jokes 38 the reactions of an audience.
There are different styles of stand-up comedy. The main four are observational(观察评论类), prop(道具使用类), physical(形体动作类) and impressionist(印象模仿类) . In observational comedy, the comedian makes jokes about humorous things he or she 39 in everyday life. If you hear a comedian telling jokes about the way 40 people behave when they queue up in lines, or asking why it only rains when you forget your 41 , you are listening to an observational comedian. Prop comedians use things, called 42 , to tell their jokes. The jokes are not funny if you cannot see the prop. It is a type of visual humor. If a comedian points to a 43 tennis game and says, “I’ve been playing tennis 44 for a month. I don’t understand why I am not losing 45 !”, he or she is using the computer as a prop. Physical comedians use their bodies to make jokes. They have been 46 chairs, walking into doors, and falling down on stage for years. The last style is called 47 .

SECTION B
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific 36 can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a 37 programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and 38 around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house. 39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old 40 didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also 41 us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一阵) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地响) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s 42 over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.
The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did 43 . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very 44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might 45 seventeen compliments(贺词/道贺) to offset the emotional 46 of one criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself? Try to 47 yourself a lifetime of positive programming by complimenting yourself, or at least think about the kind of programming you are doing to yourself on a daily basis. Remember: try to make positive self-talk a daily practice and you will succeed some day.
