At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty.Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots (靴子)．In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn't realize at the time that this was more a s tatement of hope than of confidence (信心)．I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot.Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work.After much pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “They're on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“They're my brother's boots, you know，” I said，“I hate them.”Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying (烦人的) little girl.She pushed and pushed, less gently this time.With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her.She struggled with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens (连指手套)？”I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn't want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”1．The little girl was more satisfied with her________.A．trousers B．jacketC．boots D．hat2．Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl's boots mainly because ________.A．the girl got them from her brotherB．the girl put something in themC．they were on the wrong feetD．they did not fit the girl well3．Why does the author think Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?A．Because the little girl was in her brother's clothes.B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.C．Because the little girl played a trick on her.D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.4．We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson ________.A．was losing confidence in the little girlB．gradually lost patience with the little girlC．became disappointed with the little girlD．was getting bored with the little girlBMa Sanli, a late crosstalk master, still inspires (激励) different generations. His works are considered classics to other crosstalk performers.Ma Sanli was born in Beijing in 1914.Before 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Ma Sanli gave performances at markets, shopping centers and theaters in Beijing and Tianjin. His name spread quickly because of his unique style. Later, he joined the Tianjin Opera Troupe in 1953.In 1994, he was appointed a special researcher at the China Academy of Arts. Ma Sanli created more than 200 traditional crosstalk performances.Ma Sanli's performances are full of the feelings of ordinary people. In both his crosstalk and solo (单口的) comic performances, his performing style uses mild but popular local language. Although he displays a style of cool-headed humour, he is very warm-hearted.He enjoys the reputation (名誉) of being an artist of the ordinary people.The crosstalk artist was particularly good at solo comic dialogues. They are unique in that they always have a social meaning.Nearly all solo comic dialogues performed by Ma Sanli underline profound meanings through small stories.On December 8th,2001, Ma Sanli held his farewell performance in Tianjin. It attracted more than 4500 fans from all parts of China. At that time, he was 88 and had performed crosstalk for 80 years. When he entered the stadium, there was thundering applause.The audience jumped to its feet to pay its respect and appreciation to the crosstalk performer. Ma Sanli waved back.After the performance, the headquarters of Shanghai Guinness presented a certificate to him for being devoted the longest to crosstalk.In addition to being an excellent crosstalker himself, Ma Sanli also trained lots of top-class crosstalkers in China. All are big names in China.On February 11, 2003, this respectable crosstalk master passed away at the age of 90.It was a great loss to China.But in his will, Ma Sanli wrote “I just want to leave smiles on people's faces.”We will always remember this respected and beloved crosstalker, a true artist of the masses.5．Before the year when New China was founded, Ma Sanli performed as________.A．a trade dealer B．a circus actorC．an unsuccessful painter D．a folk artisan6．Which detail is NOT mentioned in this passage?A．Making up traditional crosstalk.B．Bringing up a new generation of crosstalk.C．A host of crosstalk programs on TV.D．Putting on crosstalk performances.7．From the passage we can infer that ________.A．Ma Sanli was cool-hearted but loved to help othersB．no one else performed crosstalk for so many years except Ma SanliC．Ma Sanli was better at solo comic performances than crosstalk performances D．the materials of Ma's solo comic dialogues came from affairs at home and abroad8．Ma Sanli's favourite title is ________.A．a crosstalk masterB．a true artist of the massesC．a special researcherD．a traditional crosstalkerCFrom my first day, I was attending press conferences and other media events all over town.I got to attend events at places I had never thought I'd get to：the White House, the Senate and House of Representative buildings at the Capitol (国会大厦), the Department of Health and Human Services, just to name a few.And I was sent to cover these events as if I were a reporter, not just an intern (实习生)．In fact, I never really felt like an intern.I was given the opportunity to do the work that everyone else at the paper was doing.I covered stories on my own and wrote the articles myself.I was included in discussions for story ideas.I helped to edit the articles that went into the paper.I was able to take part in every aspect of the newspaper that I wanted to experience.The best part of working at the Nation's Health was the staff.They were supportive in letting me go out and do things on my own, while I always knew that they would be more than happy to answer any questions or help me with any problems I might have.Best of all, they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn't want to do.After interning at the Nation's Health for nearly seven months and having more than 30 articles published, I had to move on.My experience there gave me insight into how the media work, which helps me when I'm trying to choose stories.In addition, it showed me that work really can be fun.9．What is the passage mainly about?A．How good reporting begins with journalism interns.B．The author's opportunity to work at the Nation's Health.C．The author's experience working as an intern.D．The author's first day as a professional reporter.10．What impressed the author most when working at the Nation's Health?A．The employees treated her as one of them equally.B．The opportunity to work alone.C．Covering stories and writing articles.D．Coming up with story ideas for the newspaper.11．From the passage we can infer that the author had thought an intern would be made to ________.A．go to as many places as possibleB．do the boring things that others didn't want to doC．treat people equally, no matter who they wereD．get help from a professional reporter12．What did the author think of her experience of working at the Nation's Health?A．Meaningful.B．Disappointing.C．Tiring.

The problem is that Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer.

Whether you're trying to lose weight, stop smoking, get to the gym regularly, developing your sense of willpower is an important part of changing any behavior. 16.________ But there are ways to increase your willpower.▲ Don't try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Establish one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan for achieving it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don't stretch yourself too thin. 17.________▲ Whatever your goal is, don't expect to achieve it overnight. 18.________ If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your willpower grow.▲19.________ Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have increased sharply, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.▲ If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home.

Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don't stretch yourself too thin. 17.________▲Whatever your goal is, don't expect to achieve it overnight. 18.________ If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your willpower grow.▲19.________ Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have increased sharply, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.▲ If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home.

this year？Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：Dress to impress：Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says，“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network.You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office，but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence，and look puttogether.”Logo mania(品牌狂热症)：Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group，so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It’s tempting to load up on logos，especially wellknown logos that signify highend brands.But consider this：college is a time of selfdiscovery，a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing logos head to toe，“walking advertisement”style，why not express who you really are?Wear real pants：The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings，yoga pants，and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising.Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls，they are not an appropriate choice for daywear.As a young woman，your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So，get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum：Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals，cartoon characters，or Hello Kitty on them.Sure，kittens might be cute，but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look，and not necessarily in a good way!1.The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________．A．impressing professorsB．getting on well with classmatesC．creating a professional imageD．dressing appropriately2.The author believes that college girls should ________．A．choose a logo that suits their ageB．try to load up on wellknown logosC．use logos to show who they areD．find their identity by trying different logos3.The author recommends wearing real pants because ________．A．leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB．yoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortableC．real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD．people like real pants better than the other pants4.What’s the wr iter’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A．They make people look lovely.B．They are very fashionable these days.C．They will show you’re an animal lover.D．They are not suitable for collegeaged students.5.In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A．Business Week.B．Parents.C．Style.

Most noticeably, a Chinese name is written with the surname first and the given name second. For example, the basketball player who is commonly called Yao Ming (whose name in the English order should actually be Ming Yao), would be called “Mr.Yao”，not “Mr. Ming”．However, some Chinese people who emigrate (移民)to or do business with Western countries sometimes adopt (采纳) a westernized name by simply changing the “surname — given name”order to “given name — surname”，or adding a Western first name to their surname, which is then written in the usual Western order with the surname last. Other Chinese people sometimes take a combined name, consisting of a Western first name, surname, and Chinese given name, and keep it in that order.Traditional naming plans often followed a pattern of using a generation name as part of a two-character given name; however, this is less used today, especially in the mainland, where any given names use only one character.However, it is still the standard among the Chinese populations of Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.When a generation name is used as part of a two-character given name, it can be confusing to refer to someone by the first part of their given name only as it will generally be their generation name. This should be the case regardless of whether the surname is used. For example, referring to Zhao Baoshan as Bao or Zhao Bao would be confusing as this could just easily refer to his brother (Zhao Baohai). However, this does commonly happen in Western societies. The first part of the given name is frequently mistakenly used as the first name when the given name is not adjoined (靠近)．In addition to the given name, many Chinese have various kinds of nicknames.1．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．How a Chinese name is formed.B．What is the difference between Chinese names and Western ones.C．What a Chinese name means.D．In which way you can choose a name.2．The main idea of the first paragraph is probably that ________.A．Chinese names are easier to remember than Western onesB．Chinese names are written in the same order as Western onesC．personal names in different cultures follow different habitsD．there is a surname and a given name in both Chinese culture and Western culture3．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are three ways for Chinese who want to have a foreign name.B．At present many Chinese people prefer to have two-character names.C．Many Chinese people have not only a given name but a nickname as well.D．In Chinese traditional culture, there was often one character in a given name.4．What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A．In Western culture, the generation name is not used in the first part of their given name.B．Chinese people seldom refer to others only by their generation name.C．The surname should be used when referring to a person with a generation name.D．If the generation name is close to the given name, it will be taken as the first name.Ⅶ.任务型阅读Public Speaking Training·Get a coach1．________，so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.·Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 2.________，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.·3.________If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 4.________. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.·You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5.________. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A．You aren't like anybody elseB．You already do lots of things wellC．Turn your back on too many rulesD．Check the rules about dos and don'tsE．Whatever the presentation, public speaking is toughF．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleepG．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worseⅧ.短文改错Recently we have hold a discussion over whether the young couples should stay with their parents and live on the income of their parents.They called “kenlaozu” in Chinese.Each student express his opinion.As far as I am concern, it is wrong for the youngsters to live in this way.They should go out to work and try their best to make a living ourselves.Although they have fewer opportunity to find jobs and get high salaries, they should at least find a proper job and try to support themselves instead staying at home.As matter of fact, their parents are becoming old and they should live happily and peaceful.It use to be very difficult to have brought their children up and they needn't have responsibility to continue to support the youngsters.课下能力提升(二)Ⅰ.1.teasing 2.stubborn 3.vivid 4.admirable 5.origin 6.apparent7.superb8．abnormal9.discouraged10.severeⅡ.1.as 2.across 3.out 4.on 5.getting 6.up7.up8.whereⅢ.1.as if to speak 2.as if angry 3.as required 4.Once begun5．When askedⅣ.1.for the street is wet 2.now that you know the fact 3.as fluently as you4．while (he was) doing his homework5．I have passed the English exam 6.Eager to see her friendsⅤ.1.writer 2.special 3.severe 4.relate5．preparations plex8．expanding9.eager10.breakthroughⅥ.1.解析：主旨大意题。

单元质量检测(二)(时间：100分钟满分：120分本卷共4页)ASharks have been swimming in the ocean for millions of years. They were on Earth even before dinosaurs! At the top of the world's ocean's food chain, sharks help keep the population of other ocean animals in balance. A large drop in the number of sharks can cause serious problems for all ocean animals. Saving sharks makes sense!Many people are afraid of sharks. But most sharks are harmless. Only a small percentage of sharks are known to attack humans. It adapts (适应) well to new habitats and eats whatever is available. However, today, sharks are in trouble. Nearly one-third of the 400 shark species are in danger of extinction, largely due to overfishing. Each year, tens of millions of sharks are caught and killed just for their fins (鳍). The fins are used to make shark fin soup.Humane Society International (HSI) joined with the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots and Shoots program and Beijing Zoo to protect sharks. An exhibit at the zoo, “The Price Behind the Taste — Protect Sharks. Don't Eat Shark Fins”，was designed to tell people that shark finning is cruel and unnecessary. It's hoped that the activity will help put an end to the practice.Shark fin soup is also eaten in the United States. In fact, the numbers of some shark species in US waters have dropped 90 percent in the last 30 years. To slow the fall, laws against the sale of shark fins have been passed in several states, including Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and California.It's hoped that with our help, sharks will continue to swim in the ocean for many more millions of years.1．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．Ocean animals are at the top of the food chain.B．Sharks play an important role in the ocean.C．Sharks are an old species in the ocean.D．Sharks are being caught and killed.2．According to Paragraph 2, sharks are in trouble because ________.A．they often attack humansB．their food is being pollutedC．they are being caught for foodD．their habitat is being destroyed3．What do we know from the text?A．There are 400 shark species in the United States.B．It's illegal to eat shark fin soup in the United States.C．Most sharks are not interested in a human for dinner.D．Sharks are very particular about their habitats and food.4．What would be the best title for the text?A．Sharks — a species earlier than dinosaursB．Most sharks attack in risky situationsC．Sharks — a dangerous speciesD．Sharks, save them or eat themBThe key to happiness is ho w quickly you can get back your focus on w hat's important.—AnonymousSixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．Many people are like garbage (rubbish) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy with what you did.I started thinking, how often do I let garbage trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets？It was that day I said, “I'm not going to do anymore.”Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about. The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here's my bet.You'll be happier. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't.5．How did the taxi driver respond to the behaviour of the driver of the black car?A．He yelled back at the driver.B．He sent the driver to the hospital.C．He was friendly towards the driver.D．He dumped some garbage in front of his car.6．What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3?A．Many people like to drive garbage trucks.B．Many people dump garbage wherever they like.C．Many people are warm-hearted to make others happy.D．Many people tend to be very much depressed.7．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A．The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks.B．The author used to complain a lot.C．The author used to have a lot of money.D．The author used to be a good manager.8．According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?A．Ignore them and go on with our own work.B．Try our best to persuade them not to do that again.C．Tell them to dump the garbage in the right place.D．Take over their work and carry the garbage to somewhere else.CMost funny stories are based on comic situations.In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal attraction.No matter where you live, you would find it difficultnot to laugh at, say Charlie Chaplin's early films.However，a new type of humour, which starts largely from the US has recently come into fashion.It is called “sick humour”．Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents.The following “sick humour” will enable you to amuse yourself.A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas.From the moment he arrived there, he kept on bothering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home.He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital.Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow.On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster (石膏)．He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing.The following day，however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good.The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble (蹒跚) along to a party.To make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than it was good for him.In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals.He was still murmuring something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.9．According to the passage, which of the following is right?A．All the humour stories are funny in spite of different nationalities.B．One can realize the humour of the stories in his own country.C．Charlie Chaplin made it difficult to laugh at his action.D．Almost all the audiences can be made laugh at some famous comedians' actions.10．What does the underlined word “consoled” mean?A．Comforted.B．Overcame.C．Confused. D．Disturbed.11．What can we infer from the passage?A．No pains, no gains.B．Extreme joy begets sorrow.C．Once a thief, always a thief.D．Good medicine tastes bitter.12．What's the main idea of the passage?A．A new kind of humour came into being.B．How to cure your legs is important.C．Christmas is more necessary than anything else.D．Holding a party is interesting for the westerners.DI had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric (怪僻的) farmer.I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make_out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place.He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died.“She meant more to me than anyone ... even my own wife！”he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn (厩)．“I wouldn't leave her out in the cold，” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his.I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.“She was such a good cow！I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her！”he said, and burst into tears again.13．The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means “________”．A．expect B．understandC．see clearly D．hear clearly14．Before he arrived at the farmer's house, the writer expected to see Milly lying ________.A．on the ground of a barn B．on the floor of a roomC．in bed in a room D．in bed in a barn15．What do we know about Milly from the story?A．She had met with an accident.B．She had caused a scandal.C．She was seriously ill.D．She was hidden somewhere.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.16.________The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 17.________ So they are called “diseases of civilization”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.18.________ However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.19.________ We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar.

A New Yorker might say.“Sorry，I have no idea.”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers“I don't know.”People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know”is impolite.They usually give an answer，often a wrong one.A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!【语篇解读】文章讲述的是在问路时遇见的各国的文化差异。

单元综合测评(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AA lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack—when 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 Sam's a being late-serious illness at home－he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9：35.The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work.Sam's supervisor came up to him.Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do！” he said.“I'm Sam Maynard.I'm applying for a job，which，I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm？”The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job－with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽略)，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(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.【语篇解读】本文通过一个小故事讲述了幽默的重要性。

Sharks have been swimming in the ocean for millions of years. They were on Earth even before dinosaurs! At the top of the world's ocean's food chain, sharks help keep the population of other ocean animals in balance. A large drop in the number of sharks can cause serious problems for all ocean animals. Saving sharks makes sense!
Many people are afraid of sharks. But most sharks are harmless. Only a small percentage of sharks are known to attack humans. It adapts (适应) well to new habitats and eats whatever is available. However, today, sharks are in trouble. Nearly one -third of the 400 shark species are in danger of extinction, largely due to overfishing. Each year, tens of millions of sharks are caught and killed just for their fins (鳍). The fins are used to make shark fin soup.
Humane Society International (HSI) joined with the Jane Goodall
Institute's Roots and Shoots program and Beijing Zoo to protect sharks. An
exhibit at the zoo, “The Price Behind the Taste — Protect Sharks. Don't Eat Shark Fins”，was designed to tell people that shark finning is cruel and unnecessary. It's hoped that the activity will help put an end to the practice.
Shark fin soup is also eaten in the United States. In fact, the numbers of some shark species in US waters have dropped 90 percent in the last 30 years. To slow the fall, laws against the sale of shark fins have been passed in several states, including Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and California.
It's hoped that with our help, sharks will continue to swim in the ocean for many more millions of years.

The key to happiness is how quickly you can get back your focus on what's important.—Anonymous
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．。
