For the rest of March,a disease will sweep across the US.It will keep kids home from school.1.Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

One day, a young man, whom couldn't get back home, came into my office to ask for help. He said his mother was disabled. His phone had stolen with his wallet and he hadn't contacted her for the past two days. However, his job was assessing housing applications, not provide money for travel. I asked him to wait outside unless I finished my work. After work I drove him all the way home. We arrive at his mother's house at 10:30 p.m. .She was in a wheelchair and she answered a door.

On a cloudless summer day, 13-year-old Charlie Finlayson was ready for a long hike with his father, David.
Around noon, David was inching his way across a cliff 800 feet above the valley, searching for a line of cracks that would lead them to the top. Charlie stood on a rock a dozen yards to the right as he fed rope to his dad. Reaching up, David missed his step. In the next moment, he heard a sharp crack from above as something larger broke loose.
When Charlie saw his father sailing through the air alongside the huge rocks that had struck him, he pulled the rope fiercely.
“Tell me it’s OK,” Charlie begged, struggling to control his fear.
“I think I broke my leg,” David told him. “And we must get off this mountain.” He proposed a plan: Charlie would lower David half a rope length at a time, then lower himself to the same level, and at a new place, begin again.
As hours passed, they came to the base of the cliff, and David was shaking with cold and exhaustion.
Worried that David would die if he fell asleep, Charlie kept the conversation going; they talked about past travels. Eventually Charlie allowed himself to catnap, checking on his father each time he awoke. When the sun rose on their camp, Charlie was relieved to see that his father was awake.
Just after dawn, Charlie headed off on the trail toward the volunteers’ cabin 12 miles away, bringing back a helicopter that would carry his father to safety.
“Charlie’s as strong as anyone I know,” says his father, “I’m so proud of him.”
1.What happened to David when he climbed up?
A. He missed his step and broke his leg.
B. He lost his way across the cliff.
C. He caught sight of a sharp crack from above.
D. He stood on a rock a dozen yards from the cliff.
2.How did Charlie feel at his father’s sailing through the air?
A. Puzzled.
B. Fearful.
C. Relieved.
D. Proud.
3.What does the underlined word “catnap” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A. become less calm
B. continue talking
C. comfort himself
D. take a short sleep
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Father and His Brave Son
B. An Accident Happened in a Valley
C. A Story on a Cloudless Summer Day
D. A Boy Saved His Father’s Life from Cliff

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ”Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
1.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？
A. He could not catch a fish
B. His father was not patient with him
C. His father did not teach him fishing
D. He could not influence a fish as his father did
2.What did the author’s father really mean?
A. To read about fish
B. To learn fishing by oneself
C. To understand what fish think
D. To study fishing in many ways
3.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found .
A. in deep water on sunny days
B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight
D. in shallow water under waterside trees
4.After entering the business world，the author found .
A. it easy to think like a customer
B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable
D. it difficult to sell services to poor people
5.This passage most likely comes from .
A. a fishing guide
B. a popular sales book
C. a novel on childhood
D. a millionaire’s biography

A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes,who,in"On Nature",disliked humor,"Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others."He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However,Mordechai Gordon,PhD of Education,insists,"Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious."I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States,every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings,how would Americans be willing to support the election?Television shows like "The Daily Show" have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by unconsciously inputting politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image.On the topic of self-image,Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group "The Pussycat Dolls",describing their hit song "Don't Cha" as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things,mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course,humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity（粗俗）and racism,but, like everything else,it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves,our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times,all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles（皱纹）to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind,remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
1.Hobbes believes that humor_______.
A. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings
B. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
C. had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D. was for people to view the world from another angle
2.What is the author's attitude towards political humor?
A. Worried B. Disappointed
C. Curious D. Appreciative
3.The fourth paragraph is developed mainly______.
A. by process B. by example
C. by comparison D. by classification
4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at
B. The author feels helpless and sad about getting older
C. Never be the one who laughs at other people
D. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
