Module 3 Adventure in Literature and the Cinema
(建议用时25分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by now familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do!”he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win,a laugh.
Humor is a most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying“no”,criticizing,getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
[语篇解读] 幽默是一个很有用的工具,尤其在面对窘迫的局面时。
1.Why was Sam late for his job?
A.Because he was ill.
B.Because he got up late.
C.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D.Because he was busy applying for a new job.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据who hit a traffic jam on his way to work可知,交通堵塞才是他迟到的真正原因。
2.The main idea of this passage is ________.
A.Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
B.humor is importan
