  One morning,my son,Chilly,found a carpenterworm (毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t 1      to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it 2        in a cocoon (苗) .

  Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or a butterfly was about to be 3        He was 4        to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could 5        the wings of the unborn. Soon,a moth broke free,and then 6        eggs,completing its life cycle.

  The next day,I 7        Chilly it was time to set it free. He opened the jar and took it 8     . It circled the yard twice,came back,and 9        on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth repeated its 10        pattern. He tried over and over,but each time it would 11        to his arm so that Chilly had to give up.

  The next day he attempted to set it free again,and after a few repetitions the moth finally 12      into the grass.

So each move gave me the 20        to learn and experience,but best of all,I met friends.

  Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!It speaks 1       than words. According to specialists,our bodies send out more 2       than we realize. In fact,non-verbal communication (非语言交际) takes up about 50% of what we really 3      . And body language is particularly 4       when we attempt to communicate across cultures.

To my 19      ,there,as if it had never been removed,stood the old pickle jar,the bottom already cov ered with coins.

 My favourite English teacher could draw humour out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary,Addison’s essays,and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious,even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own,some of them seemed dead,but the second time,after his explanation,I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humour. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.

  My least favourite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six-week period,to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas,short stories,reactions to what we had read,and so on.   Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe,that class clown,who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage. ” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.

  So what makes the difference? Humour is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing,or it can tear them apart. It is true that humour is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.

(   ) 1. The passage mainly discusses        .

   A. teaching   B. literature

   C. humour   D. knowledge

(   ) 2. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1

probably means “________”.

   A. funny   B. tiring

   C. inspiring   D. brilliant

(   ) 3. With his favourite English teacher,the writer found it most amazing that________.

   A. his teacher was very learned

   B. his teacher was very humorous

   C. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous

   D. few were able to find humour in works by Johnson and others

(   ) 4. The English teacher the writer disliked most        .

   A. was not able to make students laugh

   B. hurt his students’ feelings

   C. didn’t let his students do the grading

   D. had no sense of humour
