Nobody likes an old poop（傻子）. Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle（咯咯地笑）rather than a scolding.

Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

1.If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______.

A. you are humorous　　　　　 　　 B. you are blue

C. you lack humor　　　　 　　　　 D. you are funny

2.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______.

A. laugh at him　　　　 B. chuckle

C. scold him　　 　　 　 D. feel embarrassed

3. In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and hum to you on your graduation day, she is ______.

A. boring　　　　　 B. serious　　　　 C. considerate　　　 D. humorous

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

B. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

C. The Function of Humor

D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor

Sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2012. On Christmas Eve, 2002, Anthony had a heart transplant(移植)from a 21-year-old donor(捐赠者). Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2012, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.

“I’m 15 minutes older than him. But now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him, ”Alfred said with a smile, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.

While the twins knew that genetics(遗传学)might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their bad eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly. ”

The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication(药物治疗)but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.

Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. “But”, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine. ”

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.

1.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

2.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.

3.What does the underlined phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. charge B. tried to set

C. gave up D. tried to hold back

4.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.

I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn’t one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can’t read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and documents for work, but not books. I think that siting down to read for just 15minutes a day is a good way to relax,So I introduce him to reading.Giving yourself a goal or challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something,so why not try to create a new habit of reading?

My dad is by no means the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities don’t　 offer.

Firstly, it’s better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for you eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night’s sleep.

Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world and the problems you have during the day, and you can truly relax. While watching a film,I often talk to my flatmates,send texts,or cut my nails,A book,on the other hand,commands your full attention.

So give it a go! Take 15 minutes to read every day,If you read a lot ,why not try 15 minutes at an　 English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else?

1.What is the real challenge for the author?

A. To read a book for 15minutes every day.

B. To read others how to read every day.

C. To read on what the best book is.

D. To get rid of his poor habit in a short time.
