【4】Was it when she had difficulty chewing food that she decided to see the dentist in the clinic recommended by her friends?
【解析】
【1】考查固定短语和句型。根据汉语可知“以免”是in case，后加句子；“睡着”是fall asleep；此句用It is suggested that…句型，that从句用虚拟语气，动词用（should）+动词原形。故答案为：It is suggested that elderly people should not drink strong tea at night, in case they may not fall asleep.
【2】考查固定短语和it做形式主语。根据汉语可知“在任何情况下”是in any situation ，“有道理，明智之举”是make sense，“坚持”是stick to；句中用it做形式主语，不定式做真正主语。故答案为：In any situation, it makes sense to stick to the principle and distinguish right from wrong.
【3】考查固定短语和定语从句。根据汉语可知“碰巧”是happen to，“期待”是look forward to；本句表示“有”用There be句型；“他们期待已久的”写成定语从句修饰“音乐会”，“这令他们非常沮丧”写成which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代前面句子。故答案为：There happens to be a concert which they have looked forward to for a long time on next Friday when they will have a test, which disappoints them a lot.
【4】考查固定短语和强调句。根据汉语可知“做某事有困难”是have difficulty doing，“决心做某事”是decide to do，用“推荐”的过去分词作定语修饰“诊所”；根据汉语可知用强调句的一般疑问句形式，被强调部分是“当她很难嚼东西的时候”。故答案为：Was it when she had difficulty chewing food that she decided to see the dentist in the clinic recommended by her friends?

Humor
If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humor makes average-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining. Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter.
Best of all, humor raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personal life. The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and that will raise your overall energy even more.
Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles. Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.
In my experience, most people think they have a sense of humor, and to some degree that’s true. But not all senses of humor are created equal. So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life.
You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor. You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor. Every party needs a straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.
When it comes to in-person humor, effort counts a lot. When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves. So even if your own efforts at humor fall short, you might be freeing the long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny in social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humor. For in-person humor, quality isn’t as important as you might think. Your attitude and effort count a lot.
Some people--and I was one of them--believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimes that is the case. The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are. Funny complaints can wear people out.
Self-deprecating(自嘲式) humor is usually the safest type, but here again you don’t want to overshoot the target. One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. You have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others. But if you do it too often, you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog.
