  How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:

__71__.Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑) . "I became interested in the clowns, " she recalls " One day I put on a costume and painted my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before." __72__ To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.

__73__ It doesn't take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favourite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humour you find in everyday life. " Good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone, " says Virginia Tooper.

Laugh when you need it most. "__74__ " says comedian Bill Cosby. " And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it, " he insists.

Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain—because it comes naturally. __75_ . Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.

D. Keep a laughter file (文档).

   Students who are engaged in their work are energized by four goals—success, curiosity, originality, and satisfying relationships. How do we cultivate these drives in the classroom?

   Ten years ago, we began a research project by asking both teachers and students two simple questions: What kind of work do you find totally engaging? and What kind of work do you hate to do? Almost immediately, we noticed distinct patterns in their responses.

   Engaging work, respondents said, was work that stimulated their curiosity, permitted them to express their creativity, and fostered(培养) positive relationships with others. It was also work at which they were good. As for activities they hated, both teachers and students cited work that was repetitive, that required little or no thought, and that was forced on them by others.

   How, then, would we define engagement? Perhaps the best definition comes from the work of Phil Schlecty (1994), who says students who are engaged exhibit three characteristics: (1) they are attracted to their work, (2) they persist in their work despite challenges and obstacles, and (3) they take visible delight in accomplishing their work.

   Most teachers have seen these signs of engagement during a project, presentation, or lively class discussion.  They have caught glimpses of the inspired inner world of a child, and hoped to sustain(使持续) this wonder, enthusiasm, and perseverance every day. At the same time, they may have felt held back by traditions of reward and punishment. Our challenge is to go beyond these very real difficulties and provide a practical model for understanding what our students want and need.

68. The engaging work loved by both teachers and students does NOT include the work which ________.

A. provides chance for them to express their own idea.

B. they are skilled at or do well in.

C. is easy for them to do with little or no thought.

D. can help them develop good relationship with others.

69. According to the work of Phil Schlecty, which characteristic is NOT shown by students who are engaged?

A. Students are willing to study.

B. Every student has become a friend to one other even teachers.

C. Even if they have difficulty with their work, they stick to working.

D. When they succeed in their work, they will enjoy it.

70. If another paragraph is added to the passage, it will probably discuss about _________.

A. How to make work and study engage students

B. The connections between four goals and what students need

C. Some good examples of making students engaged

D. What kind of work our students want

    One morning, a young man leading a goat lost his way due to the thick mist. Then he met a blind man and asked whether he also lost his way. The blind man said, “I cannot see anything. Therefore, the mist doesn't affect me．I followed the path in my memory and it never goes wrong.”

    Happily the young man led the goat following him forward．The blind man asked where he was going. He said he wanted to sell his goat. “Male or female? How many years have you kept it?” The young man spoke without too much thought, “A female goat of 3 years!”

    The blind man smiled, “I have been keeping goats for decades and can tell one of them is male or female as well as their age according to their voices．The goat you led just now is obviously a male goat, but you said female. The goat is simply a little more than one year old, but you said you had kept it for three years.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!

Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

56. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. start                    B. study                  C. find                   D. teach

57. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.

A. what to know about a new school                   B. how to prepare for a new school

C. what to do on your first day of school                    D. how to spend your first day of school

A. introduce yourself                                   B. learn about the school rules 

C. make new friends                                    D. go over your new lessons

   know that you will feel ________

A. nervous                 B. fortunate             C. happy                D. energetic
