22、A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out (伤心欲绝) and going the way of lemming (盲目跟从) ? Television shows a joke “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane-ing (用鼻子吸食大麻) politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self-image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Don’t Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware of.
With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
【1】Hobbes believes that humor ______.
A．was for people to view the world from another angle
B．resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
【2】The fourth paragraph is developed mainly ______.
A．by comparison
B．by process
C．by example
D．by classification
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards political humor?
A．Worried.
B．Disappointed.
C．Curious.
D．Appreciative.
【4】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．Chaplin wasn’t aware of being laughed at.
23、Gleaning (拾穗，拾遗) is not a new concept. It dates back to ancient times, when farmers would leave the edges of their fields unharvested or leave produce looking imperfect for the poor which was either to rot in the field, or was rolled over.
Gleaning offers fresh, healthy food to food insecure people. That is where gleaners come in. Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food donated straight from farm to table. Interest in gleaning is growing; in 2017,there were five gleaning groups in the UK, while today there are 25.
Holly Whitelaw, an organizer for the Cornwall Gleaning Network, reported to Positive.News that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. The boxes come complete with recipe (食谱) ideas and the kitchens love the fact that this fresh food is so highly nutritious.
Gleaners find the work very fulfilling. “It’s a really jolly atmosphere,” Whitelaw told Positive. News.”Any time I go gleaning, I am lifted up. For the volunteers, it’s so good for mental health, getting outside and doing something practical that’s good for the needy people.”
Adding technology to this age-old practice, a digital map of the 734 fruit trees available for gleaning was provided. This produce is going to the Orcas Island Food Bank which has witnessed a 227 percent increase in demand since the pandemic (疫情), with numbers still on the rise.
To assist the increasing amount of hungry people, produce is being rescued from fields around the world. A prime example of a successful organization is Leket Israel. In 2021, Leket rescued 40,758,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables from farmers’ fields and packing houses.
Hopes are that awareness will continue to grow. To make this happen, more unions need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help. This form of helping may soon become as commonplace as local charity walks, predicts Positive.News.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By telling a story.
B．By giving a definition.
C．By raising a question.
D．By making a comparison.
【2】What can we infer from what Holly Whitelaw said?
A．The highly nutritious food is good for mental health.
B．He fulfilled his dream of building a gleaning network.
C．New recipes create a happy atmosphere in the kitchen.
D．Gleaning offers benefits to both givers and receivers.
【3】Why are the examples of Orcas Island Food Bank and Leket Israel mentioned?
A．To show the growing success of gleaning.
B．To praise the help of a new technology.
C．To stress the problem of food wasting.
D．To tell the number of hungry people.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards food gleaning?
A．Optimistic.
B．Doubtful.
C．Negative.
D．Unclear.
24、 During the COVID-19(新冠病毒)crisis, working from home has become common for many people. For some, working from home is distracting and exhausting. But one pioneering study found that working from home increased output by 13%. Nicholas Bloom, a professor at Stanford University in California, began the experiment when James Liang, one of the founders of Trip.com Group-the largest online travel agency in China-met Bloom in Stanford and mentioned to him how expensive Shanghai housing was, how the costs of maintaining company headquarters were huge there, and that he was thinking of letting his staff work from home. This idea made Bloom interested.
Bloom started to test Liang’s thought. First, 1000 employees who volunteered for the study were divided into two teams, separated by birth dates. Those born on even days got to work from home 4 out of 5 weekdays for the next 9 months Those born on odd days stayed in the office all week long. Then the two teams were tracked. It was easy to do, as these workers had repetitive, straightforward tasks that could easily be quantified(量化), and their productivity could easily be measured-making bookings in the system or making phone calls, for example. Nine months passed; Bloom and Liang discovered workers were 13% more productive at home.
Bloom’s data suggests the staff could become much more productive while working from home long term-but it’s not so straightforward. In the experiment, there were warmings as to who could take part in the first place. Participants had to meet 3 requirements: have no kids, have a room that wasn’t their bedroom and have quality Internet on equipment which the firm installed for them at home. So there’s no guarantee that everyone’s productivity will increase.
Lynda Grattan, a professor at London Business School, distrusts other points: Bloom’s experiment was easy to carry out because it was essentially happening at a call centre. “We have no proper data on the productivity of knowledge workers when they’re based at home,” she says.
【1】Why did Liang want to let the staff work from home?
A.To decrease the staff salaries. B.To avoid the spread of COVID-19.
C.To save the costs of working in the office. D.To prove the advantage of remote work.
【2】How did Bloom conduct the experiment?
A.By giving questionnaires to all the staff.
B.By following the productivity of two teams.
C.By interviewing volunteers about their feelings.
D.By analyzing features of various working environment.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.The experiment has attracted many volunteers.
B.The staff working at home always finish more tasks
C.The speed of the Internet decides the productivity of workers.
D.Workers’ high productivity is based on suitable working conditions.
【4】What does Grattan think of the experiment?
A.It doesn’t apply to easy tasks.
B.It ignores the role of parents at home.
C.It inspires knowledge workers to work at home.
D.It needs further study for knowledge workers.
