You can put on a silly hat and chase a 3yearold kid, or pretend to fall into a pile of leaves to amuse a firstgrader. As kids grow into preteens (about 11 or 12) and teens (13 to 19), you can share jokes as their sense of whats funny becomes better.Humour is what makes something funny; a sense of humour is the ability to recognize it. Someone with a welldeveloped sense of humour has the ability to recognize whats funny in others and can amuse them as well.A good sense of humour is a tool that kids can rely on throughout life to help themselves. Kids with a welldeveloped sense of humour are happier and more optimistic, have higher selfesteem, and can handle differences (their own and others) well. And a good sense of humour doesnt just help kids emotionally or socially. Research has shown that people who laugh more are healthier theyre less likely to be depressed and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems. They experience less stress, have lower heart rates, pulses, and blood pressure, and have a better digestion (消化能力). Laughter may even help humans better endure pain, and studies have shown that it improves our immune function. But most of all, a sense of humour is what makes life fun.We tend to think of humour as part of our genetic makeup, like blue eyes or big feet. But its not true. A sense of humour actually is a learned quality. Kids can start developing a sense of humour at a very young age. Babies dont really understand humour, but they do know when youre smiling and happy. When you make funny noises or faces and then laugh or smile, your baby is likely to sense your joy and imitate (模仿) you. Sometime between 9 and 15 months, babies know enough about the world to understand that when Mom puts a piece of cloth on her head, shes doing something unexpected and that its funny. To help kids at each stage of development, parents should know whats likely to amuse them.21.Which of the following people do you think can best share jokes with their parents?A.A newborn baby. B.An elevenyearold kid.C.A fiveyearold kid.D.A fifteenmonthold baby.22.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that a good sense of humour _.A.is one of the most important things needed for a kid to succeedB.helps kids make more friends throughout their lifeC.can improve a kids mental and physical healthD.may sometimes cause embarrassment23. Which of the following statements about a sense of humour is NOT true?A.It can make the family life bright.B.It is something that kids can rely on for all their life.C.It is something people are born with.D.It is the ability to recognize humour.24.What is the passage mainly about?A.The reason why people should develop a sense of humour.B.The characteristics of kids sense of humour at different ages.C.Tips on how to develop a good sense of humour.D.The importance of a good sense of humour for kids.BThe season for family, friends, and fun! Unfortunately, it can also be the season for stress. Here are five simple ways to beat holiday stress.Get Outside and ExerciseGetting physical activity as a family is a great way to establish healthy habits with your kids, and to spend shared time celebrating together. A short walk counts. Follow along with some exercise or yoga DVDs. Your body will thank you with the feel-good endorphins（内啡肽）that follow any continuous workout.Shop OnlineWant to skip traffic, crowds, and the time spent on holiday shopping in stores? Just click it away. Shopping online allows you to easily compare prices. Gifts can be delivered, often wrapped, to your door.Manage Your RelativesTension from contentious(爱争论的) relatives increase the stress level in any holiday gathering. But you can minimize the challenges created by these difficult people.Firstly, limit your time at stressful family events. Show up early, and leave within an hour after dessert. Secondly, celebrate with relatives you like. Dont feel like you have to spend an equal amount of time with annoying relatives. Thirdly, volunteer at a shelter or food bank. Doing good will make it easier to ignore any family negativity.Stay on BudgetStart budgeting by factoring in all holiday-related purchases, including cards, postage, decorations, new clothes, food, entertaining and travel. How much should you spend during the holiday season? A good standard is 1.5 percent of your annual income.Stay OrganizedTake a moment each night to review and update the next days to-do list, keeping each item reasonable and specific. Use a family whiteboard or calendar to stay on top of family activities. Then, make a point of eating breakfast as a family to establish any shared tasks for the day.25. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _.A. explanation B. introduction C. commentD. background26. How should you deal with the relatives you dont like during holiday gatherings?A. Shorten the stay time with them. B. Prepare some food for them.C. Ignore the existence of them. D. Come up with some topics they like.27. If you can earn $1500 a month, the proper expense for the holiday should be _.A. $300B. $270C. $225D. $350CEarlier this summer, Carol LeResche got the phone call shed been waiting for. A tourist was picking zucchini (西葫芦) at Thorne Rider Park. “Its exactly what we hoped would happen when we put in the food forest,” explained LeResche, the parks food forest founder. In May, he received a $ 3,500 fund. The money was to help turn a former park into an edible (可食用的) landscape. Its a place where all of the fruits, vegetables and nuts are free for the taking.Unlike some parks with strict “no picking” policies, food forests are designed to provide colorful crops. People are encouraged to harvest them. “We think its important to put public food in public spaces,” she said. The desire to know more about where our food comes from is one of the reasons why there is a real trend toward agriculture into neighborhoods and communities. There, people can participate in tours and classes or relax among the fruit trees. Food forests provide different kinds of fresh produce more than we can buy.Food forests are based on a model valuing sustainable and mostly self-sufficient agricultural production. The food forest model requires less chemical fertilizer and less labor than traditional agriculture. An edible forest is designed to develop without pesticides(农药) or weeding.Since the concept is relatively new, and it takes at least three years for fruit and nut trees and berry bushes to start producing meaningful amounts of fresh food, its hard to know whether food forests will have an impact on food deserts. Volunteer-driven projects can fall apart if the group loses interest. Lack of funding can also be problematic. Pests also are an often-cited concern.After all and above all, LeResche explained, food forests are about a lot more than food. “We also want to provide a gathering space that is productive and beautiful where people can develop a relationship with each other and get connected.”28. Compared with common food bought, what is special about the food in edible forests?A. It tastes better. B. It has more varieties.C. It has funny appearances. D. Its produced free of fertilizer.29. What is stressed in Paragraph 4?A. Food forests may disappear soon.B. Food forests have a long way to go.C. Food forests waste lots of natural resources.D. Food forests seem imaginary and impossible.30. As for LeResche, what is the most important role of food forests?A. A way to relax and entertain. B. A way to solve food shortage.C. A way to be thankful for nature. D. A way to meet and make friends.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To call help. B. To raise money.C. To compare and argue. D. To inform and introduce.DA new program makes finding friends in the school cafeteria(自助餐厅) a piece of cake. “Sit With Us” helps students who have difficulty finding a place to sit find a welcoming group in the lunchroom. The app allows students to recognize themselves as “ambassadors,” thereby(从而) inviting others to join them. Ambassadors can then post “open lunch” events, which signal to anyone seeking company that theyre invited to join the ambassadors table.Natalie Hampton, a 16-year-old from California, is the designer of Sit With Us, which was posted on September 9. She was inspired to create it after she ate alone her entire seventh grade year. The situation left Hampton feeling vulnerable(易受伤害的) and made her a target for bullying (欺负).Hampton, now a junior, is attending a different school and is trying socially. Yet, the memory of sitting alone and being bullied still affects her, especially since she knows her experience isnt an isolated one. Hampton said the reason why she felt an app like this was necessary is that it prevents kids from being publicly rejected and being considered social outcasts（被驱逐的人）by their classmates. “This way its in secret. Its through the phone. No one else has to know,” she explained, “And you know that youre not going to be rejected once you get to the table.”When students especially the “cool kids” stand up to (抵抗) bullying, it has an important effect. During the 2020 school year, over 50 New Jersey middle schools provided their most socially able students with social media tools and encouragement to deal with it, and saw a reduction in student conflict reports by 30 percent.Hampton said that since she opened the app last week, shes already getting positive responses from her classmates. “People are already posting open lunches at my school,” she told the program. “So Im happy that things are already kicking off with a great start.”32. Who may need Sit With Us?A. A student lonely when eating. B. A student with bad eating habits.C. A student liking creative activities. D. A student fond of social gatherings.33. When one posts an open lunch event on Sit With Us, it shows he or she _.A. is in low spirits B. needs protectionC. wants to have friends D. will treat others to a big meal34. The underlined word “it” (in Para. 4) refers to the problem of _.A. encouraging others B. cheating othersC. bullying others D. helping others35. What do students think of the app Sit With Us?A. They welcome it. B. They are crazy about it.C. They hesitate to accept it. D. They hold a mixed opinion to it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）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。The Benefits of Drinking Hot WaterI think that most of us know by now that water is necessary for our survival. 36 However, what most people dont know is that warm water and hot water have some unique benefits of their own.
