I believe children have a very pure sense of humor. Well, I would like to share my experiences with you.
The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant, Jane ordered an apple dessert, which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant. However, when she had a bite of the pie, she shouted loudly, “Mom, why does it look good but tastes like rubber?” My friend was uneasy. Then the waiter gave us another dish.
A child can say funny things. I was at a friend’s home for tea and her son, Mark, wanted her to get up. His mom replied, “I can’t, because my foot has fallen asleep now.” Little Mark then sang a song and asked, “Mom, will it wake up now?” We laughed together.
The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend, an animal activist (积极分子) , was arguing with another group member. Her son Tommy suddenly stood up, “Mom, people should never be allowed to shoot extinct animals!” That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument into a pleasant conversation.

On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings and office parties. 1. Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:
1.Switch to small plates.
Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster,but the same size help look like more food when it’s on a small dish. 2. But whatever the size of your plate,it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced:half for vegetables,a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.
2.Measure out snakes
Your favorite holiday movie is on.Take a minute to check the nutrition label(标签)and measure out a serving to keep calories in check.Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example. 3. But the bag contains 2.5 servings.Eat the whole thing on your own,and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.
3.Split an entree(主菜).
Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 4. Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it’s served.Or choose a small-size option,if available.
4.Stop eating when you feel satisfied.
You don’t have to feel too full,or force yourself to clean your plate before putting down your fork. 5. When you’re satisfied,save the rest for leftovers.
A.Share a main dish with a friend.
B.It’s important for you to eat more on holidays.
C.Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger.
D.Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year.
E.Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.
F.So you’ll be likely to serve yourself less.
G.One serving is about 4 cups popped with 170 calories.

Without any hesitation,he said,“I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart.He has repeated that phrase more than once,and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
I met my best friend about three years ago.After knowing me for six months,he told me about his struggles with depression.Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked.He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time.I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child,causing him to have suicidal(自杀的)thoughts.
He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults,especially those in his family.In spite of this,he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak.Thus,when it comes to helping him,convenience is not in my vocabulary.It does not matter where I am or what I am doing,for he takes priority.Sometimes he just needs the assurance of my voice telling him that everything is going to be okay and that I will not let him down.
Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice the scars on his arms from cutting.It seems that other kids have every right to make fun of him and to look down on him.But no one holds such a right,so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly.When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices,I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally.Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
My best friend once told me that if he had not had me,he would not be alive.He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take the way out(轻生).Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can impact on someone’s life.With the fragility of life as it is,I believe in the necessity of encouragement.

When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.
1.To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.
A. motorbike B. car C. taxi D. bike
2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?
A. To make sure there is a meter in it.
B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C. To take a taxi going on the road.
D. To bargain with the driver over the price.
3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.
A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B. the signs were written only in their own language
C. there were no signs at the farthest corners
D. the quality of the roads was not good

For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.
What if the person appears to be nervous? Is the person unable to look me in the eye? Is he or she look around the room? What about other nervous movements, such as fidgeting(坐立不安)or shifting from side to side? Many people—from parents to police officers and airport security personnel—depend on this method. But does a person’s body and face reveal the truth? Not according to a new study.
Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble—an airport.
The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents. Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers. Others depended instead on the person’s body language, like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you. Like many methods, this conversation method has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE, for short.
The British government partly financed this study. The American Psychological (APA) published the findings. Body language cannot be trusted. Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard. And it only works, seemingly, by chance.
Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England. On the APA website, he reported that the “suspicious-signs method”—or using body language—“almost completely fails” in finding lies.
1.What are the questions in Paragraph 2 intended to do?
A. Show traditional ways to recognize a liar.
B. Launch a survey among readers.
C. Show the writer’s puzzlement.
D. Invite the readers to think twice.
2.What should volunteers in the investigation do?
A. Answer questions only using words.
B. Pretend to be airport security agents.
C. Act as passengers as researchers required.
D. Communicate with researchers by talking.
3.Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study?
A. Looking him in the eye.
B. Asking open-ended questions.
C. Making use of body language.
D. Observing his facial expression.
4.What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage?
A. Misunderstandings of catching a liar.
B. The “suspicious-signs” method.
C. How the CCE method works.
D. The new concept of CCE.
