4．幽默，滑稽n．humor．

11．The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend．And after I had read out a little test piece，he said，"That's fine，wonderful，your voice is perfect，lively，wonderful．"Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain，and another about the delights of visiting London，and both were"excellent"and"just right"，and I began to consider a job in radio．
To be honest，I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience．Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked，a friend named Peter Turner called to me，"I say，Mike，a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English，and I'm booked up．Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test？"I did，and they said，"Perfect，lovely，wonderful，…"Would I come round？
It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel （元音） pronunciations were not altogether King's English，or even Prince Philip's，there was a larger silence than usual，then the voice said："Fine，lovely…，but you said the word‘castle'with a short‘a'．Could we have the passage again please，but this time say‘castle'．"
This was easy．But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation．
"It's my northern English accent，"I said，angry，because I had to apologize for it．
"Oh，I see…but Mike，we'll have to get it right，I'm afraid．The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren，and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools．"
I read the passage again…and again…and again．But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour．The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel angry，so that I'd remember them．Few，really．But because I had to concentrate （集中） on them，I made a lot of mistakes in my reading．Everyone got somewhat irritable （easily made angry），so we all went out for a beer．
64．Broadcasting did not make Mike nervousA．
A．although he had never done any before
B．because he worked in a news agency

B．He was trying to do the recording in an hour．
C．He was trying hard to get certain sounds right．
D．He could not learn so many new sounds．

1．Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope．This evening，as on every Thursday night，psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes，coffee drinking and the"talking cure"．Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings．It isn't always easy．They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 （plus drinks） per session-care quick to intellectualize （高谈阔论），slow to open up and connect．"You are forbidden to say‘one feels，'or‘people think'，"Lehane told them．"Say‘I think，'‘Think me'．"
A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed？It couldn't seem more un-French．But Lehanne's psychology café is about more than knowing oneself：It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes．Over the years，Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours，a fast food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home．Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation．Cafes focused around psychology，history，and engineering are catching on，filling tables well into the evening．
The city's"psychology cafes"，which offer great comfort，are among the most popular places．Middle-aged homemakers，retirees，and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love，anger，and dreams with a psychologist．And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel．"There's a strong need in Paris for communication，"says Maurice Frisch，a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church．"People have few real friends．And they need to open up．"Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France．"If people had normal lives，these cafes wouldn't exist，"she says．"If life weren't a battle，people wouldn't need a special place just to speak．"But then，it wouldn't be France．
12．What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope？D
A．Learn a new subject
B．Keep in touch with friends．
C．Show off their knowledge．
D．Express their true feelings．
13．How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes？A

C．They have bigger night crowds．
D．They start to serve fast food．
14．What are theme cafes expected to do？C

B．They give people spiritual support．
C．They help people realize their dreams．
D．They offer a platform for business links．

8．February 4，2012saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin．
Among professional basketball players，Jeremy Lin's background is not typical．He graduated from Harvard University，which sends few players to the NBA，and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player．But when you watch him on the court，there is no doubt that he belongs there．He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice，which is fueled by a love for basketball．
Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan．When Lin's father moved to U．S．，his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son，introducing him to the game at the age of five．The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun．
In high school，Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA．When he applied for college，he was not offered a single sports scholarship．However，after his admission to Harvard，he was offered a place on its college basketball team．
During Lin's time at Harvard，his basketball career began to speed up．He scored 1，482points，making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history．
When he graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract，but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League．He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors．
At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement．He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years．But slowly，the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety．In a few very difficult months，he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up．
But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream，so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come．Then his moment arrived on February 4，2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight．After that，he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory．
The Associated Press called Lin"the most surprising story in the NBA"．Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"（林来疯）．Time magazine released its 2012list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World"，Jeremy Lin included．
No doubt，Lin fever is continuing to spread．If you haven't already caught"Linsanity"，get ready．

5．In 1977，a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way．The author was Agatha Christie，one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world．
In June 1977，a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar，near Saudi Arabia．Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence，so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London．She was then only semi-conscious and on the"Dangerously Ill"list．A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they，too，were confused by the very unusual symptoms （症状）．While they were discussing the baby's case，a nurse asked to speak to them．
"Excuse me，"said Nurse Marsha Maitlan，"but I think the baby is suffering from thallium （铊） poisoning．"
"What makes you think that？"Dr．Brown asked．"Thallium poisoning is extremely rare．"
"A few days ago，I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie，"Nurse Maitlan explained．"In the book，somebody uses thallium poison，and all the symptoms are described．They're exactly the same as the baby's．"
"You're very thoughtful and you may be right，"another doctor said．"We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not．"
Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium，a rare metallic substance used in making special glass．Once they knew the cause of the illness，the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment．She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar．Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide （杀虫剂） used in Qatar．

6．Dennis Sinar，51，a doctor from New York，is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job．"I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26years．I needed a recharge．"So he took a"gap year"，from July 2011to June 2012，to explore things like ancient buildings，and traditional Eastern medicine，in locations including Alaska，Nepal and Romania．
"Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one，"said Holly Bull，president of Princeton，N，J．"In recent years，mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest，"she said．A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a"sleeping giant．"
"A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk．I enjoyed that side most．"said Dr．Sinar，who kept a daily blog about his experience．His time studying Eastern medicine"assured the reasons I went into health care，"said Dr．Sinar，who returned to practice medicine at his old job，although he works fewer days．"I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care，"he added．"And I listen better than I did before．"
George Garritan，chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University，certainly agrees with Dr．Sinar．He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies．For employees，investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career．He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career．For companies，offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees．
