21、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 “lighten 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 “lighten 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. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

B. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

C. The Function of Humor

D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor

22、   Tiny microbes(微生物) are at the heart of a new agricultural technique to manage harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.

Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.

The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees’ leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.

The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.

The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET) scheme.

Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”

A. Most tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.

B. CO2 can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.

C. The more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.

D. Tiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?

A. Carbon dioxide.

B. Carbon.

C. Soil.

D. Limestone.

【4】According to the passage, what can we infer?

A. The action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.

B. Researchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.

C. Researchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem.

D. West Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.

【5】According to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method .

A. can be used to improve the farming land

23、Camping Tips for Survival

You learn a lot about yourself when you camp. Your patience will be tested when setting up a tent or building a fire. You’ll see food from a whole new aspect. 【1】 Here are some tips guaranteed to make your outdoor adventure a bit more agreeable.

Make a stove from a beer can.

With a knife, some alcohol and a little bit of courage, you can transform a beer can into a great camp stove that will boil water in 5-6 minutes. 【2】

Protect your tent against water with sealant (密封材料).

We did it, and it’s remarkably simple. 【3】 Getting caught in thunderstorms can easily make your otherwise great weekend a worse one, but it doesn’t have to.

【4】

Lyme disease (莱姆病) is on the rise. I’ve been caught by worms firsthand and know how annoying it can be. Mix up about 40 drops of tea tree oil with around 12-16 grams of water and spray it on. Even if you don’t meet any worms, you’ll smell uncharacteristically good.

Use a rope and a tarp (油布) to create just about anything you’d ever need.

Most people will employ the rope as a line to hang wet clothes and a tarp as ground cover. 【5】

If you follow the above tips, you will have a wonderful camping experience.

A．Create coffee packets.

B．Pick up a can and spray everything.

C．Attack worms with water and tea tree oil.

D．Throw it under your tent to keep the floor dry overnight.

E．It can be your raincoat, your tent or your tent bag.

F．However, in a survival situation, they can be used together to create a warm, dry shelter.

G．You’ll also learn that some tasks are harder than others, but they don’t always have to be.

24、   The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years. This is a page turnerwith complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures.

On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.

Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.

The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world.

I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.

【1】The underlined words "a page turner" probably mean that the book is________.

A．abstract

B．difficult

C．ridiculous

D．exciting

【2】The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in________.

A．the beauty of language

B．the history of the Taliban

C．the culture of immigrants

D．the reflection of humanity

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America.

B．The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir.

C．The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures.

D．The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society.

【4】What type of writing is the passage?

A．A review of a book.

B．An introduction to a book

C．A summary of a book.

D．An advertisement of a book.
