It wasnt forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnsons dictionary, Addisons essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight oclock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own, some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldnt believe that I hadnt seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six-week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each others journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isnt fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating. 56. The passage mainly discusses _.A. teaching B. literature C. humor D. knowledge57. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. funny B. tiring C. inspiring D. brilliant 58. The English teacher the writer disliked most _.A. was not able to make students laugh B. hurt his students feelings C. didnt let his students do the grading D. had no sense of humorBNew rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL - Country of Origin Labeling(标签). American congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are not included. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods. The same food may sometimes have to be labeled and other times not. Fresh or frozen peas, for example, have to be labeled but not canned peas. Foods that are mixed with other foods are also excluded. Mixed nuts, for example, do not need to be labeled. The same is true of a salad mix that contains different things like lettuce and carrots. Or a fruit cup that combines different fruits. Also, the law doesnt include restaurants and other food service organizations. Department of Agriculture officials say the law is really meant for larger grocery stores. The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores. Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country. The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations(违反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1,000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information. 59. Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?A. It is economical and provides people with more choices.B. Foreign food is of higher quality than native food.C. Americans need more and more food recently.D. The United States is short of food supply.60. Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because_.A. they are curious about the origin of the food.B. most of them are particular about the tastesC. they are concerned about food safetyD. most of them are food safety activists61. The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect_.A. right now B. in a month C. in three months D. in half a year62. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.B. The government of America will possibly forbid importing peppers from Mexico.C. Federal inspectors couldnt take measures to enforce the law.D. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in local places.C It is often said that man has become the enemy of our planet. This is no exaggeration(夸张), for reports show that mans greed has done much to destroy the earth. Man, in his greedy desire for financial growth, has polluted the air, land and water, and has robbed our valuable natural resources. Mans industrial plants pour out poisonous waste that pollutes the sea and puts life in the sea under the threat of dying out; at the same time, they release alarming amounts of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other pollutants. Small wonder that the air now is much warmer and more impure than ever before. Of course, this is not just because of mans greedit is mans pressing need as well. For instance, in developing countries, huge financial foreign debts have forced governments to approve the cutting of forests for agriculture or ranching. As a result, forests are cut down just to meet mans immediate needs. Perhaps unknowingly，man has changed the make-up of the earths atmosphere. Scientific studies have shown that CFCs used in refrigerators and industrial cleaners are fast destroying the ozone layera protective layer in the atmosphere that protects us against the harmful effects of the suns ultraviolet (紫外线)rays. In fact, documented reports have shown a terrible fact that there are “holes” in the ozone layer over the Antarctic. And they appear to be expanding. Faced with these environmental problems, world leaders have shown deep concern. The UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) has arranged international agreements like the Vienna convention of 1985 and the Montreal Protocol of 1989 to preserve the ozone layer by controlling the production, use and trade of destructive chemicals. There may be some doubt as to how effectual these agreements may be, given that some countries still maintain an “I-dont-care” attitude. Their attitude is probably due to their failure to grasp the importance of the problem. Then, there is no doubt that environmental education on an international scale（规模）is greatly needed, so that all countries, great and smallthe “haves” and the “have nots”may realize their responsibilities for our planet. In the meantime, the UNEP seems to have taken steps in the right direction, and it is hoped that in the not so distant future, all nations of the world will join hands in saving mother earth. 63. Which of the following is a reason for the cutting and burning of forests? A. To build houses for more population. B. To have land for agriculture. C. To export trees to other countries.D. To build industrial plants. 64. The holes in the ozone layer are largely due to_. A. mans research activities B. the greenhouse effect C. the ultraviolent D. harmful chemicals 65. Why dont some countries care about the problem of the environment? A. They dont want to put their lives in danger. B. They just dont know how to solve the problem. C. They havent realized the seriousness of the problem. D. They dont want to break their international commitment. 66. What is the authors attitude towards the future of the environment? A. Hopeful. B. Unconcerned C. Doubtful D. ObjectiveDOf all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is . Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason why the website should be shut down. The danger of internet predators(窃掠者) is indeed a tough reality, but shutting down the site is not the answer. If were shut down, another site would quickly take its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them. The key to staying safe on the Internet is to make sure that your profile(个人资料) is secure. The simplest way is to change the privacy setting on your profi
