The Iranian-American Maz Jobrani knew early in life that he wanted to become an actor or a comedian. Jobrani came to California with his parents from Iran when he was six and attended school there. His introduction to acting was an experience of trying out for a school play. “When I was 12, I tried out for the school play and fell in love with the stage...” said Jobrani, “I have friends who were funnier than I was!”

Jobrani tried an ordinary career path, studying political science in college and even starting a Ph.D. Program at UCLA. But the comedy of Eddie Murphy was a more powerful influence. “I’m a comedian because I’m a fan of comedy. I love watching comedy and I believe I discovered Eddie Murphy probably by watching “Saturday Night Live” and just then I wanted to be like Eddie Murphy,” Jobrani said.

Now as a full-time comedian, Maz Jobrani uses comedy to bridge the cultural divide. His performances both laugh at extremism and challenge American bias(偏见)of Muslims. And his recent movie does the same. He co-wrote and started in “Jimmy Vestvood: American Hero.”

“The movie is about a man who loves America, who wins the green card coming to America from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he comes to America, he realizes America doesn’t accept immigrants(移民)the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a security guard(保安)and from there he has to go on to save the world.”

“This comedy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase “axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2005, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The shows featured Jobrani and three other comedians of Middle Eastern descent(血统).The group first appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central.

It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing stand-up (单人说笑表演的)comedy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing stand-up comedy or putting on a movie, your goal as a comedian is to make people laugh.

1.By introducing his comedian career, Jobrani tends to tell us that ________.

A. he is actually a born comedian

B. Americans’ lifestyle makes him a comedian

C. Eddie Murphy has a great influence on him

D. Murphy’s plays made him first like comedy

2.What do you know about Jobrani’s film “American Hero”?

A. It is all about his personal experiences.

B. It is about Iranians who are against Americans.

C. It mainly plays a joke on the US immigrant policy.

D. It makes fun of American bias of Muslims.

3.What do you learn about the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour?

A. It turns what’s frightening into something funny.

B. It is performed by Jobrani and two Iranians.

C. It blames the US’ unfriendly attitude to Iran.

D. It didn’t work well at the very beginning.

4.To comedians, ________.

A. stand-up comedy is difficult to perform.

B. the audience’s laughter is their power.

C. doing stand-up comedy is just like surfing.

We all know a picky(挑剔的)eater or two. Maybe you have that one friend who refuses to step foot in a sushi restaurant even though she’s never tried it. Or the one who turns her nose up at anything green.

Experts suggest your DNA and upbringing are to blame for your picky eating habits. A group in Finland looked at what we call food neophobia, which means "fear of the new", and found there is some genetic basis for this. But neophobia can be greatly influenced by the surroundings. Parents unwilling to try anything new will expose(暴露)their kids to fewer new food.

People less adventurous may be more unlikely to try new foods. It’s normal for children to go through a picky stage when they’re toddlers, maybe two or three years old, and that makes sense evolutionarily. (When our ancestors first tried new foods, they had to be cautious to avoid being poisoned.) But as we get older, if we continue to avoid new food, pickiness can last.

For those who are simply picky, certain social situations like cocktail parties with all those foods full of mystery ingredients can cause anxiety. They’re often sort of embarrassed to admit that they eat like a child, so they will just say: "My stomach’s upset. " or "I had a late lunch. ".

Your taste buds can change over time, but that requires taking a chance on new foods. But to be less picky, you definitely have to be determined. The most common reason for wanting to change is social.

Expanding your eating horizons can make everything from a party to a vacation easier and more enjoyable.

1.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means "________".

A. likes the smell of　　 B. doesn’t like the smell of

C. dislikes and refuses　　 D. shows interest in

2.Which of the following plays a role in deciding whether one is picky?

A. Ancestors.　　 B. Surroundings.　　 C. Social relations.　　 D. Age.

3.According to the author, if you want to change your picky eating habit, you should________.

A. go out eating with a friend unwilling to try anything new

B. eat various foods when you are a toddler going through the picky stage

C. avoid embarrassment in social situations to make yourself feel at ease

D. try new foods to allow your taste buds to change over time

4.The main purpose of writing the article is to________.

A. describe phenomena of picky eating habits

B. present facts about picky eating habits

C. clarify misunderstandings of picky eating habits

D. criticize picky eaters for their bad eating habits

"He who can have patience can have what he wants," said Benjamin Franklin. They say patience is a virtue (美德) seldom found in women and never in men. This may or may not be true, but it's fair to say that there is nobody on the earth who couldn't benefit from more patience.

Patience is necessary for success.

It is said that "all good things come to those who wait". Many of the great scientists have remarked that their scientific discoveries came only through patient perseverance (坚持). Edison said, "Genius was 99% perspiration and only 1% inspiration." Patience teaches us to value the effort and not just the success. It is a mistake to think that happiness can only be obtained through achievements.

Patience brings peace of mind.

When we desire certain outcomes (结果), we'll have no peace of mind. Even if one desire is filled, the nature of desire is that more will appear in its place. There is no end to human desires. Patience means we will work with an attitude of detachment (超然).

Patience can transform suffering into joy.

Throughout life we suffer injustice; the best healer is patience. Through being patient and accepting our situation, it's quite possible for our suffering to be transformed.

Sri Chinmoy said, "If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy."

1.Whose saying supports the idea that patience makes a person joyful?

A. Franklin's          B. Edison's         C. Chinmoy's         D. Einstein's

2.In the writer's opinion, _____ .

A. human desires will easily be filled

B. patience is a virtue seldom found in a person

C. happiness can only be obtained through success

D. patience is the best medicine of suffering

3.How is the whole passage organized?

A. General-detail-general.                    B. General-detail.

C. Detail-general-detail.                                 D. Detail-general.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. We All Need Patience                       B. Patience Means Success

C. Benefits of Patience                        D. We Should Not Be patient

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends．Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile．When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to．It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him．Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you．Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves．Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation．Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too．When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them．There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.
