　　Like any other American 18-year-old, Michael Sessions will attend high school from 8 a. m．to 3 p. m．and after 6 p. m. he will do his homework．But from 3 p. m. -6 p. m., he will carry out his new job as the elected Mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan．

　　Although he was too young to celebrate his success over the 51-year-old rival－by two votes－with champagne or any other alcoholic drink, the youngest elected official in America is determined to discharge(履行)his civic duties seriously．

　　Mr．Sessions, who turned 18 in September ran for Mayor on a budget(预算)of ＄700 earned from a summer job and on a promise of working to increase Hillsdale’s contingent(分谴队)of full-time firefighters from three to four．

　　His rival was defeated by an energetic door-to-door campaign made all more remarkable because Mr．Sessions was a “write-in” candidate．He was too young to register(登记)as a candidate(候选人)before nominations closed for the printed ballots(选票), so his supporters had to write in his name on election day．

　　“Obviously, the people of Hillsdale took me seriously, ”the teenager said．“A lot of older people really enjoyed talking to me．I look at them in the eye．Young people could relate to me．”

　　He told the reporter, “It’s just a state of trying to believe it－especially that 670 people took the time to write my name in．My heart’s racing．”

D．	he didn’t believe he had won

[　　]
A．	who is only 18-year-old

D．	who visits people door-to-door before the election

　　Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no,” criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face．For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel．For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum．

　　Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal．Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport．Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too．Two hours after she returned home, she received a long-distance phone call．“person-to-person for Mrs．I．A．Pologize,”intoned the operator．“That’s spelled‘P’as in…”．In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire．

　　An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive．Austerity(节俭)was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal．She knew that anything could happen－and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey．He successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor．

　　The boy stood rooted：guests stared at their plates．Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son, “No harm, Daniel, ” she said．“Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen”…she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying…“and bring in the other one．”

　　A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun．
