4．Henri Cartier-Bresson （1908-2004）is one of the most original and influential figures in the history of photography．His photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form．
Henri's family was wealthy-his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer-but Henri later joked that due to his parents'economical ways，it often seemed as though his family was poor．
Educated in Paris，Henri developed an early love for literature and arts．As a teenager，Henri was against his parents'formal ways of education．In his early adulthood，he fell in love with several appetites，but it was art that remained at the center of his life．
Henri traveled to Africa in 1931to hunt antelope and boar．And Africa fueled another interest in him：photography．He then wandered around the world with his camera，using a handheld camera to catch images from fleeting moments of everyday life．
Not long after World WarⅡ，Henri traveled east，spending considerable time in India，where he met and photographed Gandhi shortly before he was killed in 1948．Henri's work to document Gandhi's death and its immediate effect on the country became one of Life Magazine's most prized photo essays．
Henri's approach to photography remained much the same throughout his life．He made clear his dislike of images that had been improved by artificial light，darkroom effects，and even cutting．The naturalist in Henri believed that all editing should be done when the photo is taken．In 1952，his first book，The Decisive Moment，a rich collection of his work spanning two decades，was published．"There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment，"he said．
In 1968，he began to turn away from photography and returned to his passion for drawing and painting．

24．Which of the following is true about Henri's photography career？A
A．He developed a passion for photography when traveling to Africa．
B．He quit photography on publishing The Decisive Moment．
C．He documented Gandhi's everyday life．
D．He devoted all his life to photography．
25．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 2？D
A．Costly．B．Generous．C．Financial．D．Saving．
26．What is special about Henri's approach to photography？C
A．He only shot photos at decisive moments．
B．He preferred to edit his images in his darkroom．
C．His most photos described things in their natural ways．
D．He tried different ways and settled on being a naturalist．

3．A sense of humor is something highly valued．A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident．However，humor is a double-edged sword．Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others．
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood．They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations．They often make fun of their common experiences，and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes．The basic message they deliver is：We're all alike，we find the same things funny，and we're all in this together．
Put-down humor，on the other hand，is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing．When it's aimed against politicians，as it often is，it's extremely funny and mostly harmless．But in the real world，it may have a harmful effect．An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend．When challenged about their teasing，the put-down jokers might claim that they are"just kidding，"thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility．This type of humor，though considered by some people to be socially acceptable，may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships．
Finally，in hate-me humor，the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others．This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley-both of whom suffered for their success in show business．A small amount of such humor is charming，but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem，and fosters depression and anxiety．
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being．In certain cases，it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships．

21．In bonding humor，people create a relaxing atmosphere byA．
A．joking about experiences they share
B．showing their personal relationships
C．teasing experiences of their friends
D．laughing at other's misfortunes
22．Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor？C
A．Comedians．B．Jokers．C．Politicians．D．Actors．
23．In the passage，the author mainly conveysB．
A．humor can be classified into three kinds
B．humor has its bright side and dark side
C．humor deserves to be studied
D．humor is highly valued．

2．Kitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens．It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed（处理）of like other garbage due to dampness．
Separating kitchen waste from other waste can help to reduce organic matter in landfills，reducing smell and waste liquid and protecting disposal equipment．It is therefore necessary to perform garbage classification when disposing of kitchen waste．
There are special garbage trucks to process kitchen waste．Labeled"Kitchen Waste"，the beds of the trucks are covered in a hermetic（密封的） metal topper to contain the smell of the rotting organic waste．There are two sizes of the trucks-the smaller ones are designed to move through narrow streets，especially in the old-fashioned hutong，the larger ones are for wider streets．

Yang Kun，an official of Financial Street office，said that if residents in the community can respect the waste regulations and make it a standard practice in their daily life，they could be rewarded for their efforts．
After the two trucks are loaded with kitchen waste at Fengronfyuan，they will leave for the Xibianmen garbage storage building，where they are weighed before driving to an area to unload．The building has six big boxes to contain the kitchen waste．

16．African SafariEssential information you need to know before booking your African Safari in Southern Africa-These tips will enhance the experience that you have．
Things to Consider Before Booking an African Safari
（1）Book in Advance
African Safaris are now hugely popular and good safari camps often get booked out more than a year in advance，especially during the high season from July through to October．
（2）Choosing which game park
Different parks have different topography and weather patterns-this greatly affects animal movements at different times of the year．If you want to target certain species of animals，then some parks are better than others for certain species．
（3）Choosing which lodge or safari camp
A typical safari camp has between 10 and 20 beds，it is an intimate safari experience and very personalized．However，there are also hotels in some places，either inside or just outside a national park，which can sleep anything up to 300 people．
（4）Guiding
The quality，experience and knowledge of the game at any Safari camp is almost the most important factor to consider．Good guides can transform your experience from ordinary to exceptional．
（5）What's the Best Time of Year to go on Safari
Understandably as the seasons change so does the safari experience．It is highly advisable to find out the best time of year for the safari area that you are intending to visit．Prices will change dramatically between the high and the low season，so good deals are to be had in the low season but it is important to know the difference，as your experience will be vastly different．
（6）The Price
Going on safari is not cheap whichever way you do it，but the price range can be enormous．Unfortunately，safaris in most cases are a case of"you pay for what you get"．
（7）Fly-in safari or not
Using small charter planes is sometimes an absolute necessity for camps in remote areas，where road transfers are just not practical or viable．Thse flights can increase the overall cost of the safari substantially but generally they are worth it and allow you the flexibility to visit a variety of safari camps in different locations．
（8）Use an Agent
As you can see from all the information and options detailed above，there is great deal to understand and unless you go on safari several times a year it is impossible to know all this stuff．
