The Importance of Humor
A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack—while a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on
his way to work shortly after receiving a final warning about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this bynowfamiliar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal (解雇) speech.
课后课时作业(五)
34
Yes, the boss was there when Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a smile and stretched out his hand. “How do you do?” he said. “I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The boss tried to hold back a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.

Humor is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, 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 (论坛).
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。上班族Sam (萨姆)因为遇到了交通堵塞上班迟到,而在此之前他已经收到了迟到的最终警告,因此这次很可能被辞退,但他最后通过一点幽默化解了这次危机。

47
3.答案:E

4.答案:B

Ⅳ 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read for me to write.
课后课时作业(五)
58
When our class was assigned to Mr Fleagle for thirdyear English, I saw another cheerless year in that most boring of subjects. Mr Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, strict and excessively prim (古板的).
I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed. Late in the year we dealt with the informal essay. Mr Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering us a choice of topics. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eye stopped was “The Art of Eating Spaghetti.”
课后课时作业(五)
59
This title produced an extraordinary series of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table—Uncle Allen, my mother, Uncle Charlie, Doris, Uncle Hal—and Aunt Pat served spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. All the good humor of Uncle Allen's house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.
课后课时作业(五)

Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr Fleagle. The next morning I turned in my tale of the Belleville supper.

Two days passed before Mr Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyone's but mine. Mr Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. I was preparing myself for an order from Mr Fleagle to stay after school for punishment when I saw him lift my essay and knock for the class's attention.
