• 2．My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material．It wasn't forced on us either．He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary，Addison's essays，and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious，even at eight o'clock 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 couldn't believe that I hadn't 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 in 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 other's journals．Mine was passed to Joe，that class clown，who always behaved in a funny or silly way．He saw it fit to make joke of and said，"This writing isn't 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．
  
  （1）The passage mainly discusses

  ．
  A．teaching
  B．literature
  C．humor
  D．knowledge
  （2）The underlined word"hilarious"in Paragraph 1 probably means

  ．
  A．funny
  B．tiring
  C．inspiring
  D．brilliant
  （3）With his favorite English teacher，the writer found it most amazing that

  ．
  A．his teacher was very learned
  B．his teacher was very humorous
  C．the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous
  D．few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others
  （4）The English teacher the writer disliked most

  ．
  A．was not able to make students laugh
  B．hurt his students' feelings
  C．didn't let his students do the grading
  D．had no sense of humor

第二節(jié)（每小題10分，共10分）

• 5．Stay on the brighter side of life One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful．In fact，there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being．Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you're grateful for．（1）

  
      Feeling down？Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone，try acting like you're happy-even if you aren't．A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain，so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well．（2）

  Reassure yourself that everything is good-even if you don't feel it．
      "（3）

  If you're stuck in traffic，then everything else must be going horribly too，"says Anne Parker，a wellness counselor．By blowing negative events out of proportion，you're setting yourself up for feeling down all day．Instead，acknowledge that you're stuck in traffic，but also bring to mind something good，like the beautiful scenery outside the window．That way，you'll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day．
      Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness，but they take time to achieve．（4）

  You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated．However，if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way，you will feel positive about your progress，which will give you the strength to keep going．
      （5）

  Try making someone else's day better．A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers．Plus，89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being，and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life．
  
  A．Try to help someone in need．
  B．Want to give your attitude a lift？
  C．People tend to think in an either-or way．
  D．Act in an optimistic way-smile，laugh，tell a joke．
  E．You'll fail to appreciate more important things in your life．
  F．By focusing on not having accomplished them yet，you will start to feel down on yourself．
  G．By remembering the pleasant things in your life，you can actually turn a negative attitude around．
