4．My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me．I decided to use it the other day and I washed a lot of things．
Everything worked well，but I found one of my husband's socks missing．I looked everywhere for it，but I couldn't find it anywhere．The next morning，I got ready for school as usual．When the bell rang，the students came in，I greeted them and told them what we were going to do that day．
When I turned around to write on the blackboard，the class burst out laughing．
They laughed and laughed．They laughed so much，in fact，that I was afraid the headmaster would be in and see all this．I asked the class to stop，but the more I talked，the more they laughed．I decided to pay no attention to them and continued to write on the blackboard．When I did this，they laughed even more．Finally，the teacher who was in the next room came in to see what all the laughter was about．When he came in，he started laughing，too!
"Good heavens，"I said．"Will someone please tell me what is so funny？"
"Oh，God，"said the teacher．"You have a brown sock stuck to the back of your skirt!"

3．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin； I wasn't a good student； I talked too much； I was too proud and so on．I tried to bear all these things as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked，"Are the things she said true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you are really like？Well，you now have the girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said，mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half of the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it，"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just closing your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something that is said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Don't shut your ears．Listen to other people's opinions，but hear the truth and do what you think is right．"

2．A lot of us lose life's battles by starting a frontal （正面的） attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of Sam，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum （最后通牒） about being late．Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that the by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer．His boss was probably preparing a dismissal （解雇） 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 boss came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a smile 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 bossclamped 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 very effective means of handling the difficult situations in our life．It can be used for apologizing，saying"no"，getting someone to do what you want．For some jobs，it's the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogues may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians （喜劇演員） on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other public places．
59．Why was Sam late for his job？C
A．Because he didn't like the job．
B．Because he got up late．

1．It is early morning in northern Gaza．The streets are filled with children on their way to school．Most carry backpacks almost as big as themselves．All are dressed in clean and tidy uniforms．It is quite an incongruoussight as they walk past piles of destroyed buildings from Israel's military operation earlier this year．
In the Elyen family home，nine-year-old Huda is nervous．Her mother is still preparing sandwiches．Huda is worried she will be late for school．
As bags are packed and hair curled，there is not much wriggle （身體扭動(dòng)） room for the three school-aged children here．The Elyens live in a weak，one-bedroom shelter．
Their house was destroyed and one of their cousins killed in an Israeli airstrike in January．Amer，their father，is worried about the winter．He tells me he cannot afford a proper roof．
He has been out of work for three years，ever since Israel forced heavy restrictions （限制） on border crossings into the Gaza Strip （加沙地帶），damaging the already weak local economy．
Amer says he hopes his children will finish their schooling，regardless of poverty or violence．
He had to leave school as a young boy to help support his brothers and sisters．He firmly believes that education can open doors to a better life．
But many of Gaza's schoolchildren are less optimistic．They know that no matter how educated they are，opportunities are scarce．Unemployment is unavoidable．
Escaping Gaza for a better life elsewhere is almost impossible，as neighboring Israel and Egypt keep their crossings with Gaza pretty much sealed shut．
Schooling is also repeatedly interrupted by conflict．This is sometimes due to violence but mainly because of military action by Israel．Israel says this is in response to rocket by Gaza militants （激進(jìn)分子），aimed at Israeli citizens．
