题目内容

Nobody likes an old poop（傻子）. Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle（咯咯地笑）rather than a scolding.

Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

1.If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ________.

A. you lack humorB. you are blue

C. you are humorousD. you are funny

2.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ________.

A. laugh at himB. feel embarrassed

C. scold himD. chuckle

3.In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and ham to you on your graduation day, she is ________.

A. humorousB. seriousC. considerateD. boring

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

B. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

C. The Function of Humor

Parents should help their children understand money. 1. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.

B. The value of money

C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest

D. Permit the child to choose between them

When Molly's father was about to work, his daughter Molly, aged 8, hand him a bag. The father was in hurry so he didn't know what was inside. While having lunch, he took out the contents: a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell and three small stone. The busy father smiled, finished eating, and sweeping the desk clean into the dustbin include Molly's junk. This evening, Molly wanted her bag back because she had not made a note into it: I love you, Daddy. The father went to his office hurried, carrying the junk home. He asked Molly to tell her about the junk. It was turned out that everything in the bag had a story. To Molly they were not junk and treasures!

A friend asks you to be a volunteer. Your husband asks you to glance over an e-mail he is writing to his boss. You say you’d love to. Really! But..."I don’t have time".

It seems plausible(有道理的). We’re all busy these days, right? But there are reasons not to use these four words, at least with yourself.

Here’s the big one: it is not true. You tell yourself "I don’t have time" to exercise, but we all have 168 hours a week. If someone offered to pay you $100,000 a week to go to the gym for 5 of those 168 hours, you would probably find the time to do it. Since that isn’t going to happen, this is a more exact description: "It’s not a priority(优先考虑的事)."

There are a million things we could be doing with our time; some are priorities and some are not, even if it’s wrong to say so. Try it. "I’m not going to read to you tonight, sweetie, because it’s not a priority. Daddy’s present priority is to check my e-mails."

Using the words "I don’t have time" keeps us from admitting to the fact that how we spend our time is a choice. It puts the responsibility for our lives on someone else: a boss, a client or a family member.

Better to be truthful: "I have another volunteer job on which I am focusing my energy right now. It is the cause that is most important to me." Or, to your husband "I wish you had mentioned this earlier. Right now, my priority is to get our children dressed and out of the door for school. I will be available around lunch time if you would like to talk".

1.What does the word "it" in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Saying "I don’t have time".

B. Saying "We are all busy today".

C. Checking your husband’s e-mail.

D. Telling your friend you won’t be a volunteer.

2.From the third paragraph we can learn that ________.

A. it is enough to exercise for five hours a week

B. we are too busy to exercise these days

C. we can earn $100,000 a week by exercising

D. we don’t often regard exercise as a priority

3.What is the text mainly about?

A. How to be responsible for our lives.

B. How to get time to do exercise.

C. How to say no to others without saying "I don’t have time".

D. How we should spend our time reasonably these days.
