Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to be wrong, and nothing seemed to be right Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was sad and 42 . My focus was on me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same problems as I was.
I expressed my sad state to my mother, hoping for some pity. 43 , she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too.Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon ”
I didn’t really want to, but 44 that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and put them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small and sweet note.
That afternoon I visited my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me 45 because she didn’t expect my visit. Before she could say anything, I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and I made a decision to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” I couldn’t describe the look that came over Jamie’s 46 properly. It was as if a dark sky suddenly shone with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day became 47 .
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that “those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

With so many things going on in your life and the pressure of work and society, you may start thinking it is not wise at all to start a hobby. But the reason that stops you from getting into a hobby is the s____48____ reason why you should surely take up a hobby.
Hobbies can r 49 pressure. There is nothing wrong with focusing on your job. After all, it is your way of making money. H 50 , when you focus on work too much, you may forget about other aspects of your life. That is when things start to go wrong. What you have to think about is this: even the richest people are not p 51 with money or material things alone. We all need a space where we can become ourselves, without any pressure.
Hobbies can help recover not only your p 52 energy but also your emotional energy. And that will be shown in all aspects of your life. Although you can relax by sleeping or doing nothing, a hobby has a different relaxing effect. Doing nothing can relax your tired b 53 but it is no solution to a tired mind. That is the big difference between the two.
A hobby is a great way to spend time on your enjoyment. But if you are thinking that a hobby is all about being quiet, then you are wrong. In fact, hobbies can also be h 54 to your social skills. Hobbies can even help to expand your network, and that can become an advantage to your job.
D. Answer the questions.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。(12分)
The British are known for their sense of humour. However it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have understood the British sense of humour.
55. It is often easy for foreigners to understand British jokes, isn’t it
.
56. What does “understatement” mean
It.
57. Who do the British like to make fun of
.
58. What do the British love to watch

By.
60. What are the key points for people to understand British humour
The British like __________________ and __________________.

Answer the questions.根据短文内容，回答下列问题：
The British are known for their sense of humour. However it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have understood the British sense of humour.
