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（節(jié)儉）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.
【小題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.
【小題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.
【小題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

55% of deaths caused by road accidents occur in the first few minutes after a crash. Up to 85% of these deaths could be prevented if first aid were given. The first person on the scene of a road accident will almost certainly be another road user. So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident.

Assess conditions

·Remain calm. Judge the scene and seriousness of the collision.

·Determine what has happened, how many people and vehicles are involved and the exact location.

·Determine how many casualties(傷亡人數(shù)) there are, what is the severity of the injuries, whether anyone is trapped, and whether there is a danger of fire.

Make safe

·Make sure you stay safe and keep off the road. If you need to stop or warn approaching cars, signal to them from the pavement. Wear reflective clothing, use warning triangles, flashing lights and warning lights. Don’t smoke.

·If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help. Use a triangle warning danger if necessary.

·Consider the safety of others. Don’t move the vehicles, look out for dangers — leaking fuel, chemicals, broken glass or dropping loads — guide uninjured passengers to a place of safety.

Call for help

Dial 999 (or 112) for the emergency services. If there is no phone nearby, send two people in opposite directions to seek help.

Do this as soon as you can or get someone else to do it while you deal with an injured person. You will need to tell the emergency services:

·where you are

·what has happened (describe the accident)

·how many people are injured

·whether they are breathing or bleeding.

The operator will talk you through what to do while you wait for an ambulance to arrive.

Apply emergency first aid

·Remain calm. Reassure the victims.

·Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties as this could hamper urgent medical treatment.

1.The passage mainly tells us ______.

A. how to reduce road accident deaths

B. how to perform first aid in a road accident

C. how to treat the injured people on the scene

D. how to protect us from being injured in an accident

2.When a driver is applying first aid, which of the following is proper?

A. Stand in the middle of the road to stop or warn approaching cars.

B. Leave the engine working when he gets out of his car to help.

C. Call 999 for an ambulance to come and leave the scene immediately.

D. Make sure the scene is safe enough and stay away from dangerous gas leaking.

3.What does the underlined word “hamper” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Affect.                     B. Improve.                 C. Demand.                    D. Judge.

4.The passage is most likely to appear in a newspaper’s ______ section.

A. business and finance                            B. sports and entertainment

C. travel and traffic                                       D. customs and cultures

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.

   What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep water? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t.

   Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never questioned it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts you jam if the operator typed too fast.

   These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.

   I used a snake in my workshop for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they took my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

   Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.

60．In the author’s opinion, if a person in deep water doesn’t know how to swim, he will drown because_________.

    A．he is afraid of water               B．he believes he will drown

    C．he hasn’t learnt to swim before      D．he doesn’t want to live in the world

61．The author thinks that the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard in order to _________.

    A．save more space                  B．satisfy the operator

    C．reduce one’s typing speed           D．increase one’s typing speed

62．The author’s experiment shows that________.

    A．snakes are dry and clean            B．snakes can be caught easily

    C．snakes are slimy and poisonous      D．snakes in India aren’t poisonous

63．According to the passage, we know that_________

A．students from India have unrealistic beliefs on how to live a better life 

B．a(chǎn)n animal who hasn’t learnt how to swim will drown if you put it in pond

C．most people don’t like the order the letters are arranged on the keyboard

D．Roger Banister was the first person who ran a mile in less than four minutes

64. The main idea of this passage should be that________.

A. beliefs are very powerful           

B. beliefs make us seem stupid

C. changing your beliefs now is necessary

D. people should always believe in themselves
