Researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammer and effective spoken english. However, most people don't regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They are more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their most pronunciations, so it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts by experts. I mean, those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes when listening to them pay attention to words that sounds strange because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult to pronounce words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read a loud. Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words. It's time to practice reading them every day.

These college students' humour entertains busy, young people and eases their stress. 单元过关检测 Yet the club member Ariella Shua says comedy is serious work. Every comedy starts as an individual project—each member writes their own material. Then they try it out in weekly club meetings where all club members read the material, go joke by joke and see what works and what doesn't. Nothing unsatisfactory will be compromised (妥协的). In this way comes satisfying comedy. 单元过关检测 Ariella joined the club last year. Now she does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes.“Whenever I just have a thought in my head that seems like ‘Oh, this is strange.’ or when I see something or overhear someone saying something in the library, I just put it down，” Ariella explained.“Later, when I'm trying to write my own material, I go through my notes to see if there is anything that I can use.” 单元过关检测 President of the Stand-Up Comedy Club, Nicholas Scandura finds that writing is one of the many skills he has developed since joining the club.“Writing jokes is really fun and it takes a lot of critical thinking，” he said. The club gives its members sense of community. When they meet, they share funny experiences, tell jokes and laugh. Over the past ten years, stand-up comedy clubs have become common on college campuses in America. Nicholas said，“Now everyone wants to do it because the culture of stand-up has gotten a lot of media attention and become more popular.” 单元过关检测 Last year, Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered the club was a natural fit. Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world. Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he would need as a medical doctor.“Having jokes ready to go might help smooth over interactions between doctors and patients and make you a better public speaker，” he said. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了约翰·霍普金斯大学的单口喜剧俱乐部的学生们用他们的幽默给人们带来欢乐的同时也在这个过程中学到不少东西。 单元过关检测 √ 24．What can a successful comedy be described as according to the passage?

Humans love to laugh, and it's good that we do so, because laughing can reduce stress, improve our immune system and relieve pain. 单元过关检测 Jeannette Sanger, a laughter yoga instructor from New York, experienced the last benefit last summer. She was cooking when a pot of boiling water overflowed and hurt her leg. “It was painful，” she said, but she forced herself to use her own skills as medicine and tried laughing to reduce the pain. “As my husband drove me to the nearest hospital, I was sitting in the back seat laughing，” Sanger told The Huffington Post. “It successfully stopped me from giving my attention to the pain.” 单元过关检测 Even forced laughter like Sanger's can have a great effect on the body, according to Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India who developed laughter yoga, a practice that draws on the breathing exercises of yoga to produce therapeutic (有疗效的)results. The doctor was researching for an article entitled “Laughter—The Best Medicine” when he made the surprising discovery that both forced and sincere laughter can affect our health． 单元过关检测 In 2014, researchers at California's Loma Linda University found that older adults who watch funny videos show improvement in their powers of recall and show lower stress levels. Another study at the University of Maryland Medical Center found that people who laugh more and have a sense of humour are less likely to get heart disease. “Laughing is a way of learning how to play again，” Sanger said. Sanger's classes start out with simple breathing and movement activities.“Motion creates emotion，” she said. 单元过关检测 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一个“大笑瑜伽”教练的经历阐述了笑对我们身体的益处。 单元过关检测 √ 28．What does Jeannette Sanger do?

They tell funny stories, make jokes, and happiness seems never to leave them. But with time going on, we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside, but crying on the inside. Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives, or out of deep-seated anger they have in the world around them. 单元过关检测 Look at Richard Pryor. Need I say more? Richard seemed to have everything.For Superman Ⅲ， he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did, yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while he was pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10.This guy set himself on fire, and he played that for fun while performing live at the Sunset Strip! Comedy was his constant weapon against pain, and he never held anything back. 单元过关检测 The movie Funny People understands very well this gloomy field in which many comedians have to survive.

Simmons reacts to the news as if someone took away his blood in the heart, and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life.So now he has to make every minute count. Then comes a series of funny stories. Comedy is just life as it is, isn't it? 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了喜剧的背后是悲剧的升华，同时运用理查德·普赖尔和乔治·西蒙斯的例子来证明了这一点。 单元过关检测 √ 32．What can we infer about “comedians” according to the passage?

My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English. 单元过关检测 School started. I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw notes and whisper swear words (脏话) in the back of the room. 单元过关检测 In college, I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. As the textbook had said, bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. But in fact, humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem to be reasonable (通情达理的). By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, quickest to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students had showed very little good behavior to praise. 单元过关检测 My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls painted their nails or read magazines. I just pretended all these weren't happening, went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly proud that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period, I knew I had to face him. 注意：续写词数150左右。 单元过关检测 After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Inspired by his advice, I walked toward the classroom, determined to make a change._____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 单元过关检测 One possible version： After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door. My boss was sitting in his chair with no expressions, staring at me silently. I was wondering if he would fire me right away. Instead of saying anything, he handed me a letter, which added to my anxiety at that moment. However, my eyes were wide-open when I read it. It was not my walking papers but a letter with several suggestions about teaching, one of which was highlighted in red: An educator should respect students' feelings. Almost immediately, warmth rose inside me. 单元过关检测 Inspired by his advice, I walked toward the classroom, determined to make a change. The next day, my eyes wandered across the classroom. I cleared my throat and announced, “Let's begin with what you think about my literature lesson.” Suddenly, a complete silence fell, with a puzzled look on their faces. I encouraged，“Anything you'd like to say is welcomed！” Excitement spread through the classroom. The literature class soon amazingly came to life thanks to their sweet voices. It was at that time that I fully understood what my boss told me: Respecting the students instead of ignoring them will make a difference. 单元过关检测 $
