Do You Have a Sense of Humor？

Humor and laughter are good for us. There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In fact, every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive, healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives？ __________(46) Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson, has some answers.＜br＞

Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think, "Either you&39;ve got it,or you don&39;t." Dr. Wilson points out that this is false.__________ (47)＜br＞

The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth. __________(48) (After all, when a baby laughs, we don&39;t rush over and say, "That kid has a great sense of humor!") A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.＜br＞

Sometimes people think that they don&39;t have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor.＜br＞

__________ (49) Then we will make others laugh, too.＜br＞

A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.＜br＞

One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is "the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation." Consider this sign from a store window. "Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal quality." The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store&39;s excellent service. __________(50) As Dr. Wilson says,"A good sense of humor means that you don&39;t have to be funny, you just have to see what&39;s funny."

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Father Factor in Workplace

Successes or failures of employees in the workplace can be traced to what kind of father they had, Stephan Poulter argues in a new book, who is a clinical psychologist and also works with adolescents in Los Angeles area schools.

Stephan Poulter lists five styles of fathers: super-achieving, time bomb, passive, absent,compassionate and mentor as well who have powerful influences on the careers of their sons and daughters.

Styles of fathering can affect whether their children get along with others at work, have an entrepreneurial spirit, worry too much about their career, burn out or become the boss, Poulter writes.

Children of the "time-bomb" father, for example, who explodes in anger at his family, learn how to read people and their moods. Those intuitive abilities make them good at such jobs as personnel managers or negotiators, he writes. But those same children may have trouble feeling safe and developing trust, said Poulter.

Even absent fathers affect how their children work, he writes, by instilling feelings of rejection and abandonment. Those children may be overachievers, becoming the person their father never was, or develop such anger toward supervisors or authority figures that they work best when they are self-employed, he writes.

"The father&39;s influence in the workplace is really one of the best-kept secrets," Poulter said.

The Father Factor is set for release next month by Prometheus Books. Looking at the influence of fathers fits with Other recent research on workplace behaviour, said William Pollack, a psychology professor and director of the Centres for Men and Young Men at McLean Hospital, part of Harvard Medical School.

It‘s what kind of father that affect the successes or failures of employees in the workplace. 查看材料

请根据短文内容，回答题。 Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee？When people argue about whether coffee

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee？

When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they&39;re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart？ Does it increase blood pressure？ Does it help you concentrate？ However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.＜br＞

Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy (树冠) of taller indigenous (土生土长的) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren&39;t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.＜br＞

Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat.＜br＞

Native birds nest and hide from predators (捕食者) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.＜br＞

Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.＜br＞

Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly". Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we&39;re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it&39;s worth it.

What is the main idea of this passage？查看材料

A.Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee

B.Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce

C.Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee

D.People should buy shade-grown coffee

请根据短文内容，回答题。The Drink Your Body Needs Most＜br＞1 Our bodies are estimated t

请根据短文内容，回答题。

The Drink Your Body Needs Most＜br＞

1 Our bodies are estimated to be about 60% to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients (滋养物) to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.＜br＞

2 We lose water through urination (排尿 ), respiration (呼吸 ), and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration (脱水) include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches,and constipation (便秘). A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is all obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.＜br＞

3 A good rule of thumb (好的做法) is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces (盎司) of water per day that you need.＜br＞

For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day.＜br＞

If you exercise you should drink another 8-ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane.＜br＞

4 It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don&39;t need.

Paragraph 1__________ 查看材料

A.Ounces of water needed per day

B.Importance of water

C.Composition of water

D.Signs of dehydration

E.Supply of water

F.Necessity for bringing a bottle for water

Good Table Manners

Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table. Here are some general rules:

Napkin (餐巾 ) use:

The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin, or in half, lengthwise(纵向地) , if it is a large dinner napkin.

If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.

Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.

Use of utensils (餐具):

Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.

If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 percent with soup, and sip(啜饮) it from the side noiselessly.

After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife blade facing inward toward the plate.

Using your fingers:

Here&39;s a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fires and potato chips, and hamburgers.

Chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed and don&39;t make noise: don&39;t talk with your mouth full.

Bread must be broken with your hands. It is never cut with a knife.

Don&39;t pick something out of your teeth. Instead, excuse yourself to the bathroom.

If possible, try not to cough at the table.

Do not put your elbows (肘 ) on the table. In France, it is essential to have both hands above the table at the same time.

Do not put bones or anything else on the table. Things that are not eaten should be put on your plate.

Where is the napkin normally placed during the meal？查看材料

A.On your chair

B.On the table

C.On your lap

D.On your plate

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Read with Greater Speed

Do you have difficulty reading in class？ If so, a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.

At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects._________ (46)

Researchers from Yale University, US, studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.

Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes (音素). _________(47)

By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.

As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students&39; brains. _________(48) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.

A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gone through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests._________ (49) However, some researchers still doubt the study. _________ (50)

请根据短文的内容，回答题。

Common-cold Sense

You can&39;t beat it, but you don&39;t have to join it. Maybe it got the name "common cold" because it&39;s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn&39;t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses, and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.＜br＞

Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults -- an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents？ Simple. They haven&39;t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.＜br＞

There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune to it -- but only it.＜br＞

Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person&39;s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.＜br＞

Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant soap,especially when children in your household have colds.＜br＞

But even careful hygiene won&39;t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes？＜br＞

The old prescription of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you&39;ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar(or honey), lemon,and water have real benefits.

According to the essay， you may have a cold because__________. 查看材料

A.the weather is too cold

B.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infected

C.another person"s coughing passes the cold to you

D.you wash your hands too often

Dorm Food More Comfortable

Once upon a time, eating in an American college dorm meant soup in a hotpot or getting pizza delivered. The most interesting thing about the campus dining hall was often the salad bar. No more.＜br＞

These days, US college students have refined tastes and a growing interest in preparing their own food.Mini-refrigerators and microwaves in dorm rooms are as essential as computers, which are basic equipments.＜br＞

"The cooking awareness of college students is increasing," said Tom Post, president of campus dining for Sodexo, a major food service company. "Students today grew up watching celebrity chefs on TV, eating organic food and valuing good nutrition."＜br＞

In response, cafeteria (自助食堂 ) menus have changed. Sodexo&39;s top campus foods for 2009, "include Vietnamese noodle soup, goat cheese salad, and Mexican chicken. But colleges are also catering to student demands for more flexible and personalized dining options.＜br＞

Chartwells, the company that prepares food for dining halls at Ohio Wesleyan University in the state of Ohio, offers microwaveable meals that "students can take away, as well as a program where students can have food individually prepared. Or they can even do their own cooking.＜br＞

This fall, Sarah Lawrence College in New York will offer students on its meal plan a chance to pick up groceries in the cafeteria as an alternative to a cooked meal.＜br＞

"Students want things that are easy to make, things that don&39;t take long and will still taste good," said Rachel Holcomb, a University of Massachusetts-Amherst student who updated recipes for the new edition of The Healthy College Cookbook.＜br＞

Angelo Berti, a chef at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, teaches cooking in dorm kitchens. But Berti says he&39;s not just teaching recipes. He&39;s encouraging students to use dining together as a way to socialize and as a means of self-expression; "The meal is your canvas (油画，画布) ," Berti said, "You paint what you want."

Which of the following is not mentioned as the basic equipment in today‘s student dorms？查看材料
