If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps（重踏）over to a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor.”
If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious（臭名昭著的）bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making remarks about their
canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats（替身）like the Post Office or the telephone system.
If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff （即兴） remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.
Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you don’t succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatement（轻描淡写）. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.
58．To make your humor work, you should .
A．take advantage of different kinds of audience
B．make fun of the disorganized people
C．address different problems to different people
D．show sympathy for your listeners
59．In the eyes of nurses, the joke about doctors implies that they are .
A．impolite to new arrivals
B．entitled（有资格）to some privileges
C．very conscious of their godlike role
D．very busy even during lunch hours
60．It can be inferred from the text that public services .
A．have benefited many people
B．are the focus of public attention
C．are an inappropriate subject for humor
D．have often been the laughing stock
C
For Kylie Jacobs, a young cancer patient, even a slight fever meant a stay in hospital; when she did go home, her health was so poor that she couldn’t play or go to school. While the seven-year-old often felt hopeless, a visit from a special guest helped her forget, just for a moment. “Seeing Petie helps take her attention away from what she’s been missing. And, Petie is very special because there’s only one Petie,” said Eric Jacobs, Kylie’s dad.
Petie is a little therapy（治疗）horse. He’s bigger than a therapy dog, but much smaller than a horse. The 25-year-old horse visits children in Akron Children’s Hospital and Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital in Cleveland. He’s been volunteering for eighteen years and has no plans to stop.
“A visit from Petie is kind of fun and something they weren’t expecting,” owner Sue Miller said. “It just takes away why they are there.” Miller and her husband, who own a horse therapy center, got Petie more than eighteen years ago. They first let him visit schools and nursing homes. Then Miller wondered if Petie could help at children’s hospitals and she came to the hospital in Akrn. At first the officials were uncertain about his performance, but they decided to allow Petie to visit in a nearby building. As trust grew, he moved to the main hospital.
Petie is not just able to make children cry with joy and forget their problems. Miller remembers a moment when Petie walked up to the bedside of an unconscious boy, then dropped his head to gently rub th e boy’s hand. Without waking, the boy started petting Petie. As everyone watched in silence, a doctor noticed that Petie slowed his breathing to match the boy’s.
“It was just a beautiful moment,” said Miller. “I am just so lucky that I get a chance to be part of this horse’s life and what he gets to do for others.”
61．What can we learn from the Paragraph 1?
A．Petie is a friend of Kylie Jacobs.
B．Petie can cure Kylie of her illness.
C．Petie’s visit is helpful to Kylie.
D．Kylie always forgets something.
62．What does Miller mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraphs 3?
A．Petie has found happiness at hospital.
B．Petie helps kids forget their suffering.
C．Kids give much comfort to Petie.
D．Kids are expecting Petie’s visits.
63．What was the hospital’s attitude to Petie at first?
A．Satisfied. B．Hopeful. C．Doubtful.
D．Disappointed.
64．What can we infer from the moment mentioned by Miller?
A．Petie hoped to help the boy get better.
B．Petie brought the boy back to consciousness.
C．Petie was afraid of the boys’ unconsciousness.
D．Peite helped improve the boy’s breathing ability.

After turning onto your other side in the darkness for many times, you finally sigh and get out of bed. Frustrated, you flip on the kitchen light and pour yourself a generous glass of red wine, and then pull something from the medicine cabinet to help you sleep ---maybe narcotic painkillers（镇静剂）or sleeping pills. After all, you need to be up early for work. You need to get at least a couple hours of shut-eye.
Sound familiar? Millions of Americans are right there with you. An estimated 30 percent of adults experience symptoms of insomnia（失眠）at some point, whether it's having trouble falling or staying asleep, waking up early, or not feeling well-rested after sleeping.
In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls insufficient sleep a public health epidemic（流行病）and for good reason. Poor sleep has been linked to a broad range of health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and even cancer. Not getting enough sleep can also put other people in danger as sleepiness increases the risk of car accidents and costly mistakes at work, especially for those working in medical or industrial fields. More than l ,500 people a year die in car
accidents caused by drowsy（欲睡的）driving, and another 40,000 people are seriously injured. Dozens of studies have found poorer productivity and shorter lifespans among those who don't get the sleep they need, leading to a worse quality of life.
Sleepless nights can also mean another kind of misery; when you are tired, you are just plain moody. Too little sleep contributes to irritability and a short temper, so it's easy to snap at your spouse, your friends, your kids or even your co-workers. Over time, relationships can become worse if your insomnia isn’t managed, and you can develop serious mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety disorder.
Taking something at night to help you fall asleep and then downing several Red Bulls during the day might seem like a logical way to combat the problem. But in fact, those substances might be making your sleeping woes worse. For example, contrary to popular belief, a nightcap doesn't help people sleep better. Alcohol can prevent you from sleeping as deeply as you need to or keep you from progressing through all the normal phases of sleep. Recovering alcoholics may also experience withdrawal symptoms that can cause insomnia and tempt（引诱）people back to use alcohol to try to get some sleep.
Similarly, narcotic painkillers, sleeping pills and other depressants can lead to dependency, making it difficult for the body to fall asleep on its own. A few drags on a marijuana joint may seem like a harmless way to relax, but as with sleeping pills, the drug can interfere with your natural sleep cycle and even cause you to wake up more frequently during the night.
After a sleepless night, it is a struggle just to stay awake and function. Some people take amphetamines or other stimulants to jump-start their days or help them concentrate. But then they struggle to wind down at night and often return to alcohol or sleeping pills to help, and these short-term solutions can quickly turn into a vicious cycle. Even though about one-third of Americans get less than seven hours of sleep each night, only about six percent of adults have a sleep disorder occurring on its own, separate from any other problem. However, many more people suffer from sleep disorders that co-occur with substance use, and each condition can continue to perpetuate the other.
If all this sounds familiar ---the roller coaster of struggling to stay awake, struggling to fall and stay asleep, and relying on substances to feel remotely normal while you're
awake ---you should know that you have options available that can help. Seeking professional assistance to address unhealthy behavior and psychological patterns can help you retrain your body to get natural sleep on its own. For those healing from substance abuse（药物滥用） and mental health issues, Michael's House offers a sleep program that can help you develop healthy, regular sleep patterns again. The program can help you restore your natural rest and wake cycles, giving you back productive, enjoyable days and restful nights.
65．The first paragraph tries to convey ______.
A．why insomnia is so common among Americans
B．Americans are suffering a lot from lack of sleep
C．what a typical American sleeping pattern looks like
D．Americans have misunderstandings of sleeping issues
66．Why is insufficient sleep called a public health epidemic?
A．It may result in serious mental disorders.
B．It is leading to a poorer quality of life.
C．It is linked to many accidents, even deaths.
D．It can cause different kinds of health problems.
67．According to the passage, a man who is experiencing insomnia tends to ______.
A．lie on the bed awake until morning B．work throughout the whole night C．turn to some medicine for help D．go to the doctor for useful advice 68．The underlined word "perpetuate" in the last but one paragraph means "______.
A．take over B．keep up C．depend on
D．make out
69．What is the author's attitude toward using drugs or other substances to deal with sleeping issues?

70．What can be the best title of the passage?

A young person is said to have a behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeably different from that expected in the school or community. This can also be stated in simpler terms as a child who
is not doing what adults want him to do at a particular time. Children with this disorder often seem to be behaving in different and socially unacceptable ways.
Like learning disabilities, behavior disorders are hard to diagnose. There are no physical symptoms in the body that are observable or measurable. Behavior disorders are therefore identified by observing behavior patterns in the child over a period of time. If a child displays some of the following behaviors, he may be labeled with a behavior disorder:
◆ Aggression and cruelty to people and animals.
◆ Destruction of property — defacing or damaging things.
◆ Little sympathy and concern for others.
◆ Takes no responsibility for behavior. Also lies, cheats and steals easily.
◆ Disregards rules and regulations.
In addition to these general symptoms of a behavior disorder, there are other symptoms characteristic of more specific behavior disorders such as ADHD —this is the inattentive, can’t-sit-still behavior. The attention ca n’t last long and the behavior is impulsive at times. The child also seems quite distracted and forgetful.
Behavior disorders come from brain injury, child abuse, and shock, etc. There have also been indications that it could be a genetic disorder. The behavior therefore is an involuntary response to these experiences and the child should not be blamed for his behavior. Since the child has problems controlling his behavior, it stands to reason that his performance in school will be affected. A child with a behavior disorder will feel bad about himself and that low self-esteem will be further worsened by the adults around him who do not treat his condition with understanding and willingness to help.
Behavior disorders are best dealt with by behavior and psychological treatments. But, as with learning disabilities, accurate diagnosis is important and this must be over a length of time. It is also important in trying to modify the behavior to be clear about what is the behavior you are expecting. Make sure it is a rational expectation. For example, expecting a three-year-old to sit quietly through a long church service may not be reasonable, or demanding that a six-year-old does extra home work after a long day of school and extra curricular activities may be stretching the child’s concentration and attention too far. Since some behavior disorders result from shocking and upsetting life experiences or brain injury, treatments should include helping the child to resolve and heal emotionally from the experience. The behavior could be corrected through emotional healing. In other words, when a human being is emotionally healthy, that is, can be aware of his intelligence and enthusiasm for life and his loving connectedness to other human beings, he automatica lly “behaves” rationally.

There is always tomorrow, and life gives us another opportunity to do things right, but in case I am wrong, and today is all that is left to me, I would love to tell you how much I love you and that I will never forget you.
Tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone, young or old. Today could be the last time to see your loved ones, which is why you mustn’t wait; do it today, in case tomorrow never arrives. I am sure you will be sorry you wasted the opportunity today to give a smile, a kiss, and that you were too busy to grant them their last wish.
Keep your loved ones near you; tell them in their ears and to their faces how much you need them and love them. Love them and treat them well; take your time to tell them “I am sorry”, “forgive me”, “please”, “thank you”, and all those loving words you know!
Nobody will know you for your secret thought. Ask the Lord for wisdom and strength to express them. Show your friends and loved ones how important they are to you.

As the letter points out, it is of critical significance to cherish people around and seize every opportunity to express your love to them because tomorrow is unpredictable.
Love is a ray of sunshine in winter. However, in contemporary society, with the quickening pace of modern life and increasing professional competition, some people can hardly spare time to express love. Moreover, educated to be reserved from an early age, some tend to conceal their genuine emotions, feeling awkward when expressing love in words.
Confronted with constant stressful exams, we seniors are suffering from extreme tiredness and severe anxiety, especially when we fa il to fulfill parents’ expectations. It is classmates, inspiration and affection that will help us go through this period of time. Every day, I will pay my friends sincere compliments, which hopefully will motivate them to strive for their dreams. When misunderstanding arises, I will have a thorough communication with them to ease the problem. We are born in and live by love, so let’s spread it. （169 words）
