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 dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.

Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long-distance phone call. “Person-to-person for Mrs. I. A. Pologize,” intoned the operator. “That’s spelled ‘P’ as in…” In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.

An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity（节俭）was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen—and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor.

The boy stood rooted: guests stared at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son,” No harm, Daniel,” she said. “Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen”… she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying… “and bring in the other one.”

A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Humor is the key to success in our work and our lives.

B.Humor enables us to cope with difficult situation effectively.

C.Humor is the only best way to criticize someone without losing his face.

D.Humor makes fun of any difficult situations.

2.Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?

A.Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant of racial and religious differences.

B.To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable as well as a most effective means.

C.People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness.

D.Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.

3.By saying “and bring in the other one,” the hostess meant that_________.

A.the son had to cook another turkey for the guests

B.she already had made more than one turkey ready for the dinner

C.some other dish would be served instead of a turkey

D.the son could serve the same turkey after it was cleaned

The situation of the world's plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing, according to a report.

"Plants are very vital to human beings, " said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. "Plants provide us with everything-food, fuel, medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here. "

The good news is that deforestation rates(森林砍伐率) around the world have dropped largely since the 1950s. However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done.

The report predicts that there are now 390, 900 kinds of plants. And about 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearing. "The good side is that we're still discovering lots of new plants, about 2, 000 each year, " said Dr. Willis. "The bad side is that we've seen a huge change in land cover, mainly caused by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well."

Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture(农业), and towns and cities, biodiversity(生物多样性) is lost. This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also it could affect the food web.

1.What does the underlined word "vital" in paragraph 2 probably mean? ______

A.Useless. B.Friendly. C.Equal. D.Important.

2.Which of the following does Dr. Willis agree with? ______

A.New plants are more than ever before.

B.About half the plants will disappear soon.

C.Many new plants are found every year.

D.Plants mustn't be used to produce medicine.

3.What do we learn from the third paragraph? ______

A.We have made little progress. B.There is a long way for us to go.

C.We have achieved our goal. D.There will be nothing we can do.

4.What is the best title for the text? ______

A.Biodiversity Being Lost B.Human Social Activity

C.Environment Protection D.Nature Climate Change

No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).

You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.

You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

1.What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?

A.Life is full of ups and downs. B.People’s lives only last a limited period.

C.We should enjoy our life unconditionally. D.Bad situations can be changed into good ones.

2.Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain?

A.His colleagues were always with him.

B.He could be looked after by his parents.

C.He planned to enjoy the last days in life.

D.His doctor made him realize the value of being alive.

3.The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A.talent B.confidence

C.pleasure D.inspiration

4.The author thinks that the wisest person________.

A.never laughs at others B.has strong determination

C.is ready to do others a favor D.is good at learning from mistakes
