Generally speaking，people like those who have a good sense of humor.
Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Brian’s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes，the boss was，as Brian entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室): everyone was hard at work.Brian’s boss came up to him.Suddenly，Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand.“How do you do！” he said.“I’m Brian.I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago.Doesn’t the early bird get the worm？”
The room exploded in laughter.The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Brian had saved his job，with the only tool that could win—a laugh.
Humor is a 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，
getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
4．Brian was late for his job because .
A．he got up late
B．he was seriously ill
C．he was caught in a traffic jam
D．he was busy applying for a new job
5．What can we infer about humor?
A．It is the early bird.
B．It is important in our lives.
C．Brian often saved his job with humor.
D．It can solve racial discriminations.
6．What does the underlined phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Charged. B．Tried to set.
C．Gave up. D．Tried to hold back.
7．What can we learn from the text?
A．Many people lack in a sense of humor.
B．Brian was supposed to arrive at his office at 8:30.
C．It wasn’t the first time that Brian came late for work.
D．Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.

Poetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional pared with prose(散文)，it lays more stress on rhythm，imagery(意象)，emotion，and imagination.As its language is rhythmical，its sound is highly musical.We may say，“No rhythm，no poetry”，no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical(格律的) style or “natural” as in free verse.
So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfill the demands of meter and rhyme，but also express the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem.This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry.
The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason(石匠)
builds a house using bricks; the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth(大卵石壁炉炉床)—each stone or each word is turned over，examined，and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape，weight，and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole.Prose，according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge，is “words in their best order”，and poetry is “the best words in their best order”．
The reader’s chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect，which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic(抑扬格) feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry. 8．What’s the purpose of saying “No rhythm，no poetry” in Paragraph 1?
A．To show the importance of rhythm in poetry.
B．To show rhythm is the most important element.
C．To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm.
D．To show rhythm is more important than poetry.
9．What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry?
A．The degree of emotion.
B．The careful choice of words.
C．The delicate use of the metric style.
D．The demands of meter and rhyme.
10．Where is the reader’s main joy in reading poetry?
A．The experience of the poet’s emotion.
B．The appreciation of the metrical pattern.
C．The reader’s reaction to the musical effect.
D．The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings.
11．How is the text mainly developed?
A．By definition. B．By examples.
C．By quotation. D．By comparison.
