white with me.they are accompanied by cruela，their stepmother(继母)” such an introduction certainly suggested they would discover something interesting that day，and that the teacher had done enough lesson preparation.when everyone was seated，and mrs.cruela was preparing to speak，all the classroom lights went out.in the darkness came two slaps(拍打)，and a short time afterwards both cinderella and snow white could be heard crying.just then，the lights came on again and everyone could see the two girls weeping.“who did that？” asked miss ellis.all the children pointed at the stepmother.mrs.cruela shook her head，but at that moment the lights went off again.then two loud slaps could be heard in the classroom，and clara and phillip began crying.when the lights came on again the two of them were weeping and looking angrily at the stepmother，who everyone was pointing at angrily.the stepmother began to speak again，saying she had done nothing，but again the lights went out.however，this time it took only a couple of seconds for the lights to come back on.when they did，everyone could see what was happening：cinderella and snow white were running towards charlie and robert，with their arms raised，ready to hit the children.seeing this，all the children asked cruela to forgive them.in reality she was a very nice，kind woman that didnt know what to do with naughty stepdaughters，whom she loved greatly but who would cause problems wherever they went.“and thats what i wanted to teach you all today，children，” said miss ellis.the students learned a lot from this lesson.56miss ellis wanted to teach the children_.ato be honest and kindbto forgive the stepmothercnot to believe what others saydto judge a person based on facts57the children thought that the stepmother_.ahad told a lie to thembwas kind enough to otherscalways treated her children badlydhad done nothing to the children58the classroom lights went out because_.ait was the teachers planbthe stepmother had turned them offcthere was something wrong with the lightsdnaughty stepdaughters had caused the problem59the third time the light was turned on so soon in order to_.ashow the class the importance of patiencebshow the class who was the troublemakercstop the stepmother hitting othersdtake the class out of fearbsometimes our inner darkness leads us to do things that affect the world in a positive way.once upon a time there lived a woman who had a bad temper.she shouted at everyone around her.for most of her life she believed it was everyone elses mistake.she went to see a wellrespected buddhist monk(和尚) to ask for advice.the monk said，“its hot outside，and thats a busy road with lots of passersby.when a passerby passes，you must offer him a glass of water.do this until there is no anger left inside you.”so she stood outside with a water jug and served water to passersby every day for the next several weeks.and every morning she asked herself if she would still be angry.and every morning the answer was，“yes.” so she continued serving water.until this afternoon when a man walked up，snatched(抢) the water jug out of her hand，drank directly out of it，and then threw the jug on the ground as he continued on his way.unable to contain herself，the woman picked up the jug off the ground and，with all her might，threw it at the man as he walked away.it was a direct hit.the jug broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground，unconscious and bleeding(出血并失去知觉)as the woman calmed down，she realized what she had done and began to cry.she used a payphone to call 911 and report the incident.an ambulance and two police cars arrived at the scene moments later.as the doctors carried the man onto the ambulance，the police handcuffed(戴手铐) his arms and legs.then one of the police officers walked over to the woman，who was still crying，and said，“the city owes you a big thank youthat man has been on our most wanted list for over a year now.he is a primary suspect(主要嫌疑人) in multiple murder cases.”60why did the woman go to see the monk and ask for advice?abecause she had a bad temper.bbecause she respected buddhism.cbecause she also wanted to be a monk.dbecause she wanted to do something good.61the monk asked the woman to_.ashout at everyone around herboffer every passerby a glass of watercbeat the rude man who snatched the water jugduse a payphone to call 911 and report the incident62the woman hit the man on the back of his head because the man was_.aa monk ba murdererca passerby da rude man63according to the passage，we can infer that_.athe man just wanted to test herbthe woman would regret for doing itcthe woman had done a good deeddthe womans temper would get bettercit was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before christmas 2005.while most people were warming up their cars，trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.on arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.after putting in 10 hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone.the bike，a black kona 18 speed，was our only transport.trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60hour weeks to support his young family.and the bike was also used to get groceries，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.i was so sad that someone would steal our bike that i wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.shortly after that several people in our area offered to help.one wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up.once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.it really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.people say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.this experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole.and it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others.no matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares.and the results can be everlasting.64why was the bike so important to the couple?athe mans job was bike racing.bit was their only possession.cit was a nice kona 18 speed.dthey used it for work and daily life.65we can infer from the text that _.athe couple worked 60 hours a weekbpeople were busy before christmasca stranger brought over the bikedlife was hard for the young family66how did people get to know the couples problem?afrom radio broadcasts. bfrom a newspaper.cfrom tv news. dfrom a stranger.67what do the couple learn from their experience?astrangers are usually of little help.bone should take care of their bike.cnews reports make people famous.dan act of kindness can mean a lot.dit is often argued that one of the most common differences between the british and american sense of humour is that americans dont understand irony(反语)simon pegg explores this topic in depth in his article what are you laughing at？he concludes that this statement isnt true and i quite agree with him.one of the differences seems to be how often both nations use irony.the british use irony on a daily basis，whereas americans dont.i think americans understand british irony；what they dont understand is the need to use it so frequently.when americans use irony they want to state that they are “only kidding”they feel the need to make a joke more obvious than the british do；maybe this results from a fear of offending people.i think the differences between the british and american sense of humour arise from a cultural difference between the two.american jokes are more open，a bit like americans themselves.british jokes，on the other hand，are more reserved(含蓄的)there is usually a hidden meaning.certain american comedies have gained huge success in britain and vice versa(反之亦然)therefore，although there are differences between both comic styles，there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour.both the british and american versions(版本) of the comedy the office are hugely successful on both sides of the atlantic.both shows have their own cultural differences，yet they describe a lifestyle which both americans and the british can relate to in a similar way.68the writer believes that_.aamericans dont understand irony when communicating with the britishbthe british use irony as well as americans do in many wayscthere are huge differences between the british and american sense of humourdamericans use less irony because they dont want to offend others69according to the text，americans have no idea_.awhen and how to use ironybwhere and why to use ironycwhether it is necessary to use irony oftendwhether it is easy to understand irony70what is the main cause of the differences between the british and american sense of humour?aculture.blifestyle.chistorical development.dgeographical location.71the comedy the office is given as an example to show that_.aamerican comedies have gained more success than those in britainbthe british and americans can understand the same comedy of different formscthe same comedy can be performed totally differently in different countriesdthe differences between british and american comedies are becoming greaterewe thought we had it alla beautiful house，three healthy children and one more on the way，two cars，a couple of fourwheelers for entertainmentand we loved it.then，the market turned and my husbands job at a construction company was gone.the company was closing down for good.we both started looking for jobs right away，but there werent any to be found.with each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through.the_more_we_pulled_together，the_closer_we_got.i felt feelings of admiration for my husband that i hadnt felt in years.thats why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.i continually asked him to stop，but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
