Make me laugh, now!

　　In a room filled with cigarette smoke and the smell of beer, people are laughing as a little man on stage talks．This is stand-up, a major form of live entertainment in the West．

　　It could be held in a theatre or just a bar．The basic idea is that a person, or sometimes two, "stands up" on a stage and makes the audience laugh．

　　The performer could tell a story or lots of little stories．He could just tell jokes or discuss the most serious issues of the day．The point is that the audience expects to be made to laugh．

　　Audiences at stand-up shows are not polite．If they don't find the person funny they will shout out．These people are called "hecklers"(诘难者)．If a comedian

(喜剧演员)is good he will be able to shout back at the heckler with some clever response(应答)．

　　Normally, the comedian has prepared a script, which he has learnt．But often they might think of something different while on stage．This is called improvising

(即兴发挥)．

　　Different stand-up comedians have different styles．Some are called straight men．These will never laugh or smile and will try to appear very serious even though what they are talking about is very funny．Others play the fool．These act and say things that are very stupid so that you can't help laughing at them．Another type is

the person who can copy famous people's voices．They will pretend to be someone famous in a funny situation．

　　Stand-up comedians will talk about anything from sex to polities, from family to animals．To a stand-up comedian everything is funny．

　　Beautifully cut grass, elegant(雅致的)white clothes, cheering fans and exciting matches make Wimbledon, in London, the home of tennis．

　　Last Monday, the famous British tournament(锦标赛)opened at the All England Lawn Tennis Club．It is the third Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season．Wimbledon comes after the Australian Open and the French Open, and is followed by the US Open．

　　As the oldest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon is famous for its special rules and traditions．The players’ clothing, including their shoes, must be entirely white．

　　In 2002, the Russian player Anna Kournikova was forced to change from her black shorts into another pair on court．Between 1988 and 1990, US legend Andre Agassi refused to play because of the all-white rule．

　　The UK’s unpredictable summer weather is part of the tournament．If it begins to rain, players and fans have to wait patiently for it to stop．Then, they cheer when the covers come off the grass courts．

　　Wimbledon is not just famous for great tennis matches．Fans like to eat strawberries and cream while watching．Every year 27, 000 kilos of strawberries and 7, 000 liters of cream are eaten．

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

.   So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and the study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy— emotional response.

Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?

A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.

B. Because she did not love her grandmother.

C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.

It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A. there are only two ways to keep healthy

B. crying does more good to health than laughing

C. crying and laughing play the same roles

D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health

According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.

B. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.

C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.

D. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.

What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A. Why We Cry              B. How to Keep Healthy

C. Power of Tears            D. A New Scientific Discovery

How to Stay Motivated in High School

Do you find it difficult, almost impossible to stay motivated about high school? There are so many demands on your time, along with the expectation of parents and teachers. You really want to look at all the “big picture”. Your time in high school is likely to be just a small part of your whole life.    1.  

Set realistic goals and rewards. It can be as simple as doing your work and then taking a break to do something you like.    2.   It isn’t as though you have to do all of your work at one time. In other words, when you reach a good break point, give yourself some kind of reward such as doing something you enjoy and afterwards get back to work.

  3.  Consider your own parents, teacher, neighbor, or relative—anyone you respect and trust that can be in your corner to root for you and cheer you on. You want someone who has some life experience to counsel you. If you can find more than one source of such wisdom, it is all the better. Don’t ignore this suggestion. It can really save you a lot of heartbreak and suffering later on.

Have supportive friends. There are people who are going nowhere fast.    4.   Instead, stay around other motivated students who enjoy school, study and work hard because they are so positive. That positive influence will help motivate you.

Work with yourself not against. We all have energy levels.    5.  If your levels are low, determine what raises your energy levels to get you going. Then get as much done as you can. Also, don’t wait until later to get started doing things like your homework. One student explained that he would start work at the end of the class. Then when he got home, he was finishing the work rather than just starting the work.

A．Then get back to work.

B．Don’t hang out with them.

C．Seek the wisdom of an elder.

D．Try to go with the flow of your levels.

E. But it can be the most meaningful years.

F. Study hard, have fun and enjoy each year.

G. Find classmates with whom you can share your concerns.

 

What’s your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.

    We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.

    It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas（佛塔）in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.

    Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial（卑微的）jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.

    Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.

    The result is responsible tourism, or“ethical tourism.”Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.

    But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.

    They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.

    What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can:

    ★Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.

★Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.

★Avoid flaunting(炫耀) wealth.

★Ask before taking photographs of people. They are not just part of the landscape! Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
