D.     A sense of humor means more than telling jokes.

E.      A sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.

F.      A sense of humor helps people to better enjoy life.

71. _____ As awareness of the benefits of humor increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.

72. _____ Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think that when it comes to a sense of humor, “either you’ve got it or you don’t.” This is false. What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.

73. _____ The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humor. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humor.”) Your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself—then you will make them laugh too.

74. _____ Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definition of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation”.

75.   _____ There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humor, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humor benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humor when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humor.

We just went Christmas shopping this weekend, just to pick up a little here and there for the kids. 71 We have discovered how to save time and money through a little research. Follow me and you can find some excellent tips.

　　 First thing that you want to do is make a list of what you are looking for exactly. 72 This will make your shopping experience less painful and time-wasting. It will also help with making it less expensive. You won’t be persuaded to buy things that you don’t need or want because it is on sale!

　 　73 If you are familiar with the stores that you are looking into buying from, you will already know how they work. For example, Wal-Mart gives excellent pricing only for online sales, as well as free shipping(免运费).

　　 When leaving your favorite stores, you want to look for exactly what is on your list. Compare prices and availability(实用性). 74 Don’t just depend on your favorite stores, visiting the ones that you don’t often shop. Sometimes you will come across things at prices you never knew in your familiar stores!

　　 After price shopping, go back to the stores that have the best price for the thing you want and buy it. 75 You may get it for a great price, but the shipping and handling costs will make you spend more if you are not careful.

A. We have to go shopping in our daily life.

B. We were shocked by the crowds and the cost!

C. Don’t forget to go online to your favorite stores.

D. Know what it is that you are in need of before you go shopping.

E. Don’t be persuaded to buy what you don’t need at all at home.

F. Something you need badly may not be sold online or in the store.

G. Care about not only the cost of the thing, but also the shipping cost.

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __71__. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__72__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last

forever. __73__. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __74__. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __75__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.

A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.

B. It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the

pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.

C. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.

D. Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.

E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids.

F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will

continue to stand for thousands of years yet.

G. It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids.

C、You will benefit from a balanced study.

Studying Tips and Techniques

    If you often find yourself struggling with your studies, here are some useful tips and techniques that can help you out…

71.____________ It is a common misconception that self-study can begin only after a particular topic or chapter is taught in class. You should start preparing for the class in advance. After attending classes, it is of great importance that you have time to review the notes that you have taken during the class as well as try and read more about the subject on your own. Be it （无论是）reference books, or e-books, try and find more information about your subject so that you have a comprehensive（全面的）view of the topics. Often while reading and self-studying, it happens that you come across doubts and questions that did not occur to you in the classroom. Try and answer these questions yourself with the help of books or the internet. However in case you fail to answer, write down these questions so that you remember to clarify the questions in your next class.

72.____________ Involve yourself in group discussions about the subjects that you are studying. Group discussions can be a great way to broaden your viewpoint over important issues since group discussions give every group member a chance to voice their understanding, which might not necessarily be alike. Group discussions are thus a healthy and a rather informal way of exchanging information and discussing issues. Many teachers encourage the group discussion technique in their classroom as well.

73. ____________ No matter how much people disapprove of the process and the timetables, it is a known fact that having a clear and detailed project makes it easier for a person to reach a goal. According to your convenience, map out your daily / weekly/ monthly study. It is always better to have a weekly or a daily arrangement, so that unexpected changes in class schedules or any other changes can be taken into consideration accordingly.

74.____________ Yes, there exist some species of students who burn the midnight oil. The studying process should be such that it leaves enough room for a student to join in entertainment activities and relaxation. Always chalk out a schedule that will not influence your sleep, your health, your sports / entertainment activities and other routine tasks. Also studying a single subject at a stretch (like an entire week or so), can get boring, for this reason plan a schedule that helps you switch from one subject to another in enough time.

75.___________ Normally students get too caught up with grades, the percentage and the entire marking system. Always remember that if you study with the aim of acquiring knowledge, the grades will be brighter. However, if you just aim for high grades, there is a chance you might get the grades, but you will miss out on acquiring comprehensive knowledge on a particular subject. Always study with the right point of view, and you will never have to worry about your grades. Knowledge is way beyond grades.
