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 “l(fā)ighten 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 “l(fā)ighten 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

“Is it possible for Brownie not to be glad to be back after a happy stay at my uncle's?”Miss Gauss asked Dad.“It'll be all right. Give her a bit more to eat,” he said in a low voice, without tearing his eyes from Brownie while his wife was busy packing Brownie's belongings, saying,“Brownie is not so cute as her younger brother, Spotty. Take care of the little thing when walking him.”

It happened on the night of July 10th, 2013 before the Gausses took a trip to Hawaii. They entrusted their pet to me because they thought I was the first person they'd confide in. And another intention of theirs was that I had already trained Spotty into a well?known pet in my community, which can act many tricks, such as “Sit down!” “Stand up!” “Give me your right hand!” “Turn around!” She can even sing, and, of course, that's just a strange sharp noise. Having seen them off, I took beautiful Brownie home in my arms, for fear that he would slip away.

Brownie_was_the_kind_of_go?go_but_unsocial_baby,_so I tried many ways to be his friend, which made Spotty rather unhappy. They often fought a battle, seemingly to break my roof loose. Soon, Brownie turned out to be an agreeable family member. He was an endearing pet, often begging for comforts in my arms. I seized the chance to train him and he achieved a lot, which I texted Mr.Gauss. They were so overjoyed and decided to fly home ahead of time to see Brownie's qualitative change.

But,all this was thoroughly destroyed because of Brownie's death in a traffic accident. What a poor little creature!He was really dogged(緊隨) by bad luck, and he was saved from death shortly after his birth. For whatever reason,therefore, I was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, which seemed to run most deeply in me.

The best way to cheer ourselves up is to try first to cheer somebody else up. That will be an everlasting pain in my heart, a wound that does not heal.

1. What is suggested in the first paragraph?

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

B. Honesty is the best policy.

C. A sign of tragedy.

D. Background of the accident.

2. Brownie went to the writer's home mainly because________.

A. his owners would go on a trip

B. he was just saved from death

C. he would be Spotty's husband

D. he would be trained

3. When the writer says“Brownie was the kind of go?go but unsociable baby”, he means________.

A. Brownie was active but unfriendly

B. Brownie was easy?going but unfriendly

C. Brownie was a pet that runs fast

D. Brownie was active but homeless

4. How did the writer feel after the accident?

A. Regretful. B. Guilty.

C. Sympathetic. D. Embarrassed.

The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival.

A Chinese-US research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in south China’s Cuangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2001.

The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago, according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an influential US journal.

Jin Changzhu, of the chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and lead author of the paper, said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today’s pandas.

Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago, when it peaked ,and then gradually became smaller.

Jin, a paleontologist (古生物學(xué)者) at the Institute of Vertebrate paleontology and Paleoanthropology (古人類學(xué)) attached to the CAS, said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.

“A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population , but becomes smaller when numbers decline,” he said.

The dental remains of the skull, which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found, are similar to today’s pandas, indicating the type of teeth that could munch (津津有味地嚼)mountains of bamboo. A panda can eat up to 40kg of bamboo per day.

Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon, the US co-author at the University of lowa, said the panda’s focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years.

“Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source, such as bamboo, it tends to evolve a larger body size,” he said. “As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger, they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators (肉食動(dòng)物) due to their larger body size.”

1.According to the research of the CAS , there were most pandas in the world .

A. 2 million years ago

B. between 2.4 and 2 million years ago

C. 500,000 years ago

D. Nowadays

2.The underlined word “variation” in para 6 means .

A. fall B. change C. increase D. decrease

3.From the passage, we can learn .

A. pandas began to eat bamboo 2 million years ago

B. a species tends to grow smaller when numbers decline

C. the giant pandas were about a third the size of today’s pandas

D. pandas’ bamboo has played an important role in its development

Nowadays, it is very easily to find a student who is nearsighted. What’s worse, the number of nearsighted students are still increasing. From my point of view, there are many reason that can cause nearsightedness. First of all, the wrong posture will result from nearsightedness. Read in the dark places can lead to nearsightedness as well as. Moreover, too much reading without a rest can be other important reason. My dear friends, it is high time that we paid attention to protect our eyes. The most useful method is do eye exercises more often and relax for a while after reading.

Colleges and universities in America consider a great deal of things about a student who want to be admitted. They says the most important thing is the student's high school record. Admission officers look only at the grades that the student has had earned. They also look at the level of difficulty of the classes. A student's interests and activities may also play a part of getting accepted. But in most cases another consideration is how good the student does in college entrance exams. This week in us Foreign Student Series, we will discuss two of these test: the SAT or the ACT. Most American schools accept either one.
