Emily did not look like other infants(幼儿)when she was born.She had a distinct appearance facially,standing out among the other babies in the hospital.She was born with Apert Syndrome,which affects physical appearance in several ways.I was first introduced to many of the facts of this rare Syndrome when Emily's mother came in to speak to me a few days before first grade.

Now Emily found herself in a new school,with unfamiliar classmates.I noticed a little girl's startled expression as she focused on Emily.Emily smiled at the child and the little girl smiled back.The first lime my teaching aide had to leave the room,a child jumped up and asked if she could help Emily.This girl stood over Emily,dotting words and sentences for her trace,exactly as her aide did each morning.A cute redheaded girl often stared into space rarely completing required tasks.Then one day she volunteered to help Emily.

Then came that day in March when Emily's mom told me she was to have facial surgery.I had to explain her absence.I was asked many logical questions."Did it hurt?" "Will she come back?"

Emily's hospital conduct further illustrated her excellent bravery.She told her father,"I do not want you to carry me into the operating room."She explained to the attending nurse that she did not want any medicine and didn't want to wear the blue operating room cap or change into hospital clothes.Emily walked into the operating room on her own feet!

It was inevitable that some of the children would see Emily after her operation,before she came to school for a visit.I had to explain that she was wearing something that looked like a catcher's mask on her face.Some visited her at home.Each child who saw her came to school greeted the class by shouting,"I saw Emily!"my first-graders had the ability to perceive the heart of Emily and I feel certain that she will continue to use her remarkable(非凡的) strength of character to overcome the struggles she has yet to face.

Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural (农业的)college. In the 1990s, he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon 1earned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market.

But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes, they had sold more than 4,000 units.

This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth, and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it’s till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.

“Finally, the boy ______ the same paper, making no change at all. He said, ‘You ______ keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”’

Bolivia has a population of three and a half million. About one tenth of the total population are white; one-fourth are mixed Indians and white; and more than half are full-blooded Indians. The government and the industries are under the control of the white people.

The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern slopes of the Andes, since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters. East of the hill region is the great plains where tropical plants are grown. A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions, where it is grown, to the mountainous regions, where most of the people live.

Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago. It has been slow in developing, but its rich resources promise a better future in it.

1.The majority of the Bolivian population are __________.

A. full-blooded Indians B. mixed Indian and white

C. white citizens D. all whites and mixed-blooded people

2.The Indian’s way of life today is ___________.

A. quite different from that of their ancestors B. quite interesting

C. almost the same as their ancestors’ D. very exciting

3.The eastern slopes of the Andes is not highly developed because ________.

A. there are thick forests there B. there are very few roads there

C. there are many fine mines there D. they are not fertile enough

4.Bolivia has been slow in developing , but it has hope for a better future because of its ____.

A. mining products B. rich resources

C. independence from Spain D. two primary means of transportation

Gallows humor(黑色幽默)seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.

Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力)and performance.

“There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”

This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale(士气)in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?’”

You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.

Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended(冒犯):Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”

“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”

1.According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________.

A. reducing pressure

B. improving performance

C. making people more creative

D. leading to a big mistake

2.What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Neutral. D. Uncertain.

3.Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with?

A. Gallows humor is the basic source of morale.

B. Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others.

C. Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose.

D. Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor.

4.When people use gallows humor, they should ________.

A. observe who is aggressive

B. show a sense of belonging

C. doubt about the result of humors

D. try to avoid irritating others

5.What can we infer from the text?

A. People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.

B. Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others.

C. People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.

D. People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.
