A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about beinglate 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；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，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 losingface．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 tolerancethan people in any other forum．
4. Why was Sam late for his job？
A. Because he was ill．
B. Because he got up late．
C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam．
D. He was busy applying for a new job．
5. The main idea of this passage is ________．
A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
B. humor is important in our lives
C. early bird gets the worm
D. humor can solve racial discriminations
6. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________．
A tried to hold back B. tried to set
C. charged
D. gave out
7. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage？
A. Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor．
B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work．
C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8：30．
D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems．
C
“My P.E. teacher taught me maths.”It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the head-teacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English?If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parents who believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.
This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.
Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students, P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.
At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.
In terms of high school entrance examination,Guangzhouwill launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.
In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of
physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.
We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.
8. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths”, what does the author intend to show us?
A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.
B. P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.
C. P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths..
D. Parents doubt the ability of P.
E. teacher.
9. We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E. teacher .
A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance
B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers
C. reflects whether the school cares about the class
D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system
10. Why doesGuangzhouraise proportion of P.E. performance in high school entrance examination?
A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.
B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.
C. To test the overall ability of high school students.
D. To make P.
E. teachers equal with other teachers.
11. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers?
A. Neutral.
B. Unexpected.
C. Supportive.
D. Critical.

选项中有两项为多余选项Sand art is considered as one of the greatest forms of creative expression today. It is an activity thathas caught the imagination of children and adults alike.____16____From cars to castles with fantasy lands, the themes are endless. Here are some tips on how to build the perfect sand sculpture or castle.
Before you begin the sculpture (雕刻), you must first ensure you have the right tools.____17____Remember
you will need to include a spray bottle, as the sculpture needs to be kept a little wet to keep the surface firm while you construct it. Once you have gathered all the tools, it’s time to hunt for the right location on the beach. You need to look for a place that is moderately away from the sea. After you have found the ideal location, start digging. You need to keep digging till you reach wet sand. This will be your first tough task.____18____.
Now youneed to prepare enough wet sand to start with the building and carving. This is known as the process of tamping (夯实). A frame is basically used for tamping. This is what you need to build tall structures.____19____Place the frame on the ground. Once theframe is filled, try to lift it slowly. When you have finished the base form, you can create other forms on top of that base.
Once you have finished the basic structure, it is time to release your creativity. Always start carving from the top. Carving must always be done in the outward direction. Do remember to concentrate on the entire structure rather than attempting to complete one side at a time.

Thanks for your concern in your letter about the smog which frequent strikes some areas of China. I'm also very worrying about such a terrible weather. It has brought much inconvenience or rather harm to people's health such as road accident, bad coughs and even lung cancers and so on. It is known to all, good environment comes from careful protection. But we should do what we can protect it. I believe a small step can make a different.
