1.Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist,best known for her children's books featuring animal characters such as in the children's classic--The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters.During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District.It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife.She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously.But her old-fashioned,Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement,thinking it inappropriate for a young lady.However,her study and water color paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.
 In her 30's,Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book,The Tale of Pew Rabbit.Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne.This caused a great disagreement with her parents,who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status.Sadly,Warne died before the marriage ceremony.
Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid's books full-time.Using profits from her books,Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District.She extended the property with additional purchases of neighboring land over time.In her 40's,Beatrix married William Heelis,a local lawyer.She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children.In all,she authored 23 publications.
Beatrix died on December 22,1943,and left the majority of her property to the National Trust.Her books carry on selling well globally,in many different languages.Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet,movies,and cartoons.

2.A lot of us lose life's battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of Sam,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late.Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that the by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.His boss was probably preparing a dismissal (解雇) speech.
Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room.Everyone was hard at work.Sam's boss came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a smile and stretched out his hand."How do you do!"he said,"I'm Sam Maynard.I'm applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?"
The room exploded in laughter.The bossclamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win a laugh.
Humor is a very effective means of handling the difficult situations in our life.It can be used for apologizing,saying"no",getting someone to do what you want.For some jobs,it's the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogues may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians (喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other public places.

A.Because he didn't like the job.
B.Because he got up late.
