21、With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.

How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.

I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.

Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?

Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

【1】According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _________.

A. it makes people more confident

B. it can pick up people’s spirits

C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world

A. the writer is funny and polite

B. family members should play tricks on each other

D. we should relieve stress in any situation

A. explaining carefully   B. speaking loud

C. keeping silent   D. laughing hard

【4】In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _______.

A. encourage people to be humorous in daily life

22、Guide for Teenagers

The teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them, you may be suffering from depression. 【1】.

Try not to isolate yourself

When you’re depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 【2】 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.

Keep your body healthy

Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runners high"? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 【3】As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Avoid alcohol and drugs.

You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost," even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed.【4】 You will need special treatment for your substance problem.

【5】.

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with relationship, friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.

A．Even a short walk can be beneficial.

B．Turn to your parents for help.

C．As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.

D．In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse--not better--in the long run.

E．The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.

F．Help is available and you have more power than you think.

G．Ask for help if you are stressed.

23、Farmers and runners have a lot in common. There is the drive to struggle in tough conditions. There is the ability to do hard labor, outside in any condition. There is also the restlessness, which, however, might be unique to Elle Purrier St. Pierre, a farmer and a professional runner, who admits she has a tough time sitting still, as a result of her growing up on a dairy(奶制品)farm, where she developed a working attitude that is hard to change. "Cows need to be fed; they need to be milked. And if something breaks, you have to figure out a way to fix it, and you have your responsibilities no matter what," she says. "That attitude really helps me in my career now."

Purrier St. Pierre will run for Team USA in the Olympic Games in Tokyo this year, where she’ll compete in the 1,500-meter run. In February 2020, she broke the American record for fastest indoor mile, with a time of 4:16.85. A year later, she broke the American record for the indoor two-mile, at 9:10.28. And sure, she trains hard, and is diligent and naturally athletic. But according to Purrier St. Pierre, farming is what initially set her up for success on the track.

"Runners and farmers are similar in their lifestyle. It’s just something that they do every single day. They’re kind of addicted," says Furrier St. Pierre. "It’s just who you are."

While farming is a central part of who Furrier St. Pierre is, running is a more recent addition. She started running in high school, despite the school not actually having a track. Instead, she trained on the dirt roads near her farm or the mountain biking trails that surround the hilly town. They proved to be good training grounds. It was in college that she started to identify as a runner and pursue it as a career. Now, running is what she’s known for, and there are high hopes for her to bring home a medal from Tokyo.

Whatever happens at the games, Furrier St. Pierre is excited to come home to the support of her husband, who is unsurprisingly, also a dairy farmer. As much as running is her life and career at this moment, Furrier St. Pierre keeps one eye on her future, and that’s on the farm.

"I am such a homebody and very true to my roots. I’ll always be a farmer. I’m pursuing this career right now, as a runner, but I’m still very much a farmer."

【1】What does Elk Purrier really mean by what she says in the first paragraph?

A．Life on the dairy farm is boring.

B．Farming is actually too much work.

C．Her time spent on running is limited.

D．It’s hard for her to stop moving around.

【2】Which of the following is what Elle Furrier has achieved?

A．Winning the 1,500-meter run in America.

B．Setting two American records in running.

C．Winning the 1,500-meter run at the Olympics.

D．Setting a record for the indoor two-mile in Tokyo.

【3】What does the author think of the surroundings for Elle Furrier’s running when she was a high school student?

A．Beneficial.

B．Unsatisfactory.

C．Beautiful.

D．Unique.

【4】What kind of person is Elle Furrier mainly described as in the text?

A．An athlete who devotes herself to sports.

B．An athlete who has made great achievements.

C．An athlete who combines running with farming.

D．An athlete who prefers to be an ordinary farmer.

24、Hot spots of drones (无人机) in Australia are getting sensors to automatically identify the aircraft and their pilots. Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said it would fix the equipment at the nation’s airports starting next month. The monitors have been planned for some time, but come in the wake of 72 hours of drone-related disorder at the UK’s Gatwick airport last week.

In 2019, Australia will also start a scheme to register drone owners. The UK is also due to introduce a scheme in November that will require recreational drones weighing 250g (0.55lb) or more to be registered.

Almost 140,000 air travellers were delayed last week after reports of drone sightings caused huge delays at Gatwick Airport. UK police are still searching for the criminals, although they have also raised the possibility that witness reports of the aircraft were mistaken. The incident “highlights” the need for a drone-spotting capability (能力), CASA spokesman Peter Gibson told the news agency Agence France-Presse. The supervision system would be able to spot the types of drone being flown, read their serial numbers and work out where the pilot was located, he said. Efforts to identify pilots would be aided by the introduction of the registration scheme for commercial and casual drone owners, he added. “2019 will witness severe action towards drone safety,” said Mr. Gibson. As well as airports and other sensitive locations, the drone-spotting systems will be fixed in other places known to be popular with drone owners such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Authorities in Australia have expressed worries about the number of drones being flown in controlled areas in recent months. Anyone breaking rules could face fines of up to 10,000 Australian dollars ($7,058; £5,600) as well as checks on the safety of their craft. “In 2019 it could be very expensive doing the wrong thing with your drone,” said Mr. Gibson. Events at Gatwick were discussed by ministers in a Christmas Eve phone conference. It is understood that the Cabinet Office “pushed” the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office to update their relevant regulations. They also discussed defence systems across the UK’s airports.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean?

A. indicating.   B. causing.

C. preventing.   D. following.

【2】What helps the system work out the identity of the pilot?

A. Registration scheme.   B. The airport.

C. Witness report.   D. The government.

【3】What do we know from the passage?

A. The recreational drones will be required to register next year.

B. The system will be fixed in all the hot tourist spots.

C. Anyone flying the drones will be fined up to $7,058.

D. There was no solid evidence of drone sights at Gatwick Airport.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Heavy fines to be given to the pilots

B. Functions of the drone-identifying system

C. Australia to set up drone-spotting system

D. Problems facing drone owners
