readers digest (rd) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.rd: whats the oldest joke in the world? “we cant know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,” says christie davies, professor of sociology at the university of reading in the uk. the oldest joke book thats been found so far is the greek philogelos. it dates from the 4th century ad, although the jokes date from an earlier time. according to psychogist steve wilson, director of national humor month ( april in the us ), it contains 265 jokes.rd: do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?rod martin, professor of psychology at the western university in canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour, as we develop, humour and laughter begin to appear. “of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laugh frequently, but this doesnt mean they dont have a sense of humour.” and according to steve wilson, there are no adults who dont have a sense of humour. “almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour, and i teach people how,” he says.rd: do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?sense of humour does differ a lot by country, according to an author named scott weems. british humour is thought to be absurd in nature, while american humour has an aggressive quality. according to a study, germans are found to find everything funny.21. what do we know about the oldest joke book?

a. opening summer camp b. forbidding summer schools c. spreading year-round education d. minding the summer learningd this years miss chinatown fashion show was more than just a showcase for clothing and shoe designers. it was also a fund-raiser (募捐活动) and volunteer sign-up event for the grassroots organization reading to kids. “we are looking for donations as well as volunteers to come and read,” said reading to kids volunteer andrea ramcke. “it is a volunteer organization. there are only two paid workers.” according to reading to kids, the organization tries to encourage underserved children with a love of reading so as to enrich their lives and chances of success in the future. “it is primarily for children who dont have a lot of reading in the home, whose parents are good at a second language or they are good at a second language, ”ramcke said. “ so we have a lot of immigrants from everywhere and lots of first generation kids who dont have a lot of books in the home.” at present, reading to kids gathers 901 children and 388 volunteers at reading clubs on the second saturday of every month at eight los angeles elementary schools. at the reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to groups of children divided up by age groups, while the parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. ramcke also added that the kids are asked to join in by asking questions and reviewing the material along with doing a “ craft (工艺) project in relation to the book”. every child also gets a book to take home and books are donated to school libraries through the program. “the kids develop a love of reading,” ramcke said. “ studying doesnt become as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better. they learn how to think about their words. their team communication skills and their grades go up.”32. what was special about this years miss chinatown fashion show?a. it encouraged people to read.b. it donated books to reading to kids.c. it offered support to reading to kids.d. it asked show designers to volunteer.33. the purpose of reading to kids is to help kids_.a. who love reading and writing.b. who dont read a lot at home.c. who dont know foreign languages.d. who are good at using two languages34. how often are the reading clubs held?a. every day b. once a month c. twice a month d. every saturday35. what is the last paragraph mainly about?a. how reading to kids works.b. why reading is important to kids.c. the way to get kids to love reading.d. the influence of reading to kids on kids.第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。six ways to improve reading comprehension help your child keep what he readsa crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks. have him read aloud. this forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to hear what he reads. 36 choose the right kinds of books., not have too many new words that he cant understand. 37 . or else he cant understand the overall meaning of the story. 38 . to gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothlya skill known as fluency. rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so hell become more fluent. talk to the teacher. if your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his readingfor example, building his vocabulary or practising phonics skills. supplement class reading. if his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts. talk about what hes reading. this “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 39 for example: before:“what interests you in this book?
