22、   When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with operation. But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.

The day before the operation I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.

My mother managed to live through the operation. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is.

D.Because she left her child a special memory.

23、   “Ouch”! little Tom cries. “Why did you pinch me, Grandpa?” “You forgot to wear green today,” says Grandpa with a smile. “Why do I need to wear green?” asks Tom. “Because it’s Saint Patrick’s Day! If you’re not wearing green on this day, other people can pinch you!” says Grandpa.

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on 17th March. The festival started in Ireland. When some Irish people came to live in the USA, they celebrated this festival and made it popular in the USA.

The festival is named after a man called, Saint Patrick. It is said that he once drove all of the poisonous snakes out of Ireland. He was also a very important religious figure in Ireland.

A popular symbol of Saint Patrick’s Day is shamrocks. Most shamrocks have three leaves. Many people believe they are a symbol of faith, hope and love. If you are lucky enough, you can find a shamrock with four leaves and the fourth leaf represents good luck.

On Saint Patrick’s Day, people like to tell stories about little green men called leprechauns. They have magic power and hidden pots of gold. If you can catch one leprechaun, you can keep his gold.

On this day, many people also wear green, a colour that represents Ireland. Ireland is a rainy island and the hills have a bright green colour in spring.

25、Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humour from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.

To us British people, 【1】 (power) and important people often cause laughter. It’s not just politicians(政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes 【2】 (them) too seriously.

We laugh 【3】 the power, but also, at anyone who is treated badly. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even funnier. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, w【4】 in America, they are often clever people doing clever things and winning at last.

The fact that we l【5】 when other people might feel hopeless is one of the strangest things to learn about British humour. We do have a strong sense of irony (讽刺). After some terrible experience we might say, “Not very 【6】 (please)”. And we might say in the middle of a typhoon. “It’s 【7】 bit windy today.” Or “There is a tiny problem,” when something has gone 【8】 (total) wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.

Another thing that can make it different to u【9】 British humour is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we’re making 【10】 (joke).

Do you think the British sense of humour is special?
