21、The Iranian-American Maz Jobrani knew early in life that he wanted to become an actor or a comedian. Jobrani came to California with his parents from Iran when he was six and attended school there. His introduction to acting was an experience of trying out for a school play. “When I was 12, I tried out for the school play and fell in love with the stage...” said Jobrani, “I have friends who were funnier than I was!”
Jobrani tried an ordinary career path, studying political science in college and even starting a Ph.D. Program at UCLA. But the comedy of Eddie Murphy was a more powerful influence. “I’m a comedian because I’m a fan of comedy. I love watching comedy and I believe I discovered Eddie Murphy probably by watching “Saturday Night Live” and just then I wanted to be like Eddie Murphy,” Jobrani said.
Now as a full-time comedian, Maz Jobrani uses comedy to bridge the cultural divide. His performances both laugh at extremism and challenge American bias(偏见)of Muslims. And his recent movie does the same. He co-wrote and started in “Jimmy Vestvood: American Hero.”
“The movie is about a man who loves America, who wins the green card coming to America from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he comes to America, he realizes America doesn’t accept immigrants(移民)the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a security guard(保安)and from there he has to go on to save the world.”
“This comedy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase “axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2005, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The shows featured Jobrani and three other comedians of Middle Eastern descent(血统).The group first appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central.
It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing stand-up (单人说笑表演的)comedy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing stand-up comedy or putting on a movie, your goal as a comedian is to make people laugh.
【1】By introducing his comedian career, Jobrani tends to tell us that ________.
A. he is actually a born comedian
B. Americans’ lifestyle makes him a comedian
C. Eddie Murphy has a great influence on him
D. Murphy’s plays made him first like comedy
【2】What do you know about Jobrani’s film “American Hero”?
A. It is all about his personal experiences.
B. It is about Iranians who are against Americans.
C. It mainly plays a joke on the US immigrant policy.
D. It makes fun of American bias of Muslims.
【3】What do you learn about the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour?
A. It turns what’s frightening into something funny.
B. It is performed by Jobrani and two Iranians.
C. It blames the US’ unfriendly attitude to Iran.
D. It didn’t work well at the very beginning.
【4】To comedians, ________.
A. stand-up comedy is difficult to perform.
B. the audience’s laughter is their power.
C. doing stand-up comedy is just like surfing.

23、Hunger Is Good for You
Hunger is a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by lack of food. It is accompanied by the desire to eat.
【1】 You eat when you feel hungry. It’s this feeding process that has led to some of the many health problems we’re experiencing today. Food timing, portion, and quality contribute to weight gain. You see, the body loves predictability 【2】That’s why an eating schedule is necessary for weight loss.
【3】 Think of a newborn baby. It breastfeeds every 3 to 4 hours around the clock. That’s a perfect example of structured eating. Unfortunately, despite having a 3-meal-a-day eating format, not everyone sticks to this. If you decide to lose weight, it’s necessary for you to add structure to your eating habits-eat all meals and snacks at the same time every day similar to a newborn baby.
As your body begins adapting to the new structure, you’ll experience hunger pains, 【4】 Instead, wait it out, stick to your schedule and let the body adapt. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to notice hunger disappearing over 2 to 5 days. Where does hunger go? During the 2 to 5 days, hunger readjusts and t gets easier to plan. If you give in during the readjustment period, you’ll be stuck at always being hungry, losing weight.
Creating the eating schedule will work wonders if you’re also practicing portion control and eating the right food. 【5】However, 80%of your weight loss is what you eat.

E．What’s the easiest way to control hunger?

G．However, short-term hunger is great, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.
24、 In a normal world, getting on an airplane that circles in the air for a few hours before returning to the same airport would have been considered laughable. However, in the COVID-19 pandemic, when many international travels stopped, “flight to nowhere” or “scenic flights” were increasingly popular.
Taiwan's Taipei Songshan Airport was one of the first to offer this unique service. In June 2020, faced with an over 60 percent drop in passengers, the airport officials decided to offer consumers a virtual flight. People interested in the “pretend to go abroad” experience could sign up for a chance to win one of 90 daily tickets. Winners of the three half-day tours were treated to a full airport experience, including clearing immigration, checking in, and boarding the airplanes. Though the planes never took off, the idea was amazingly popular.
At the same time, Japan's First Airlines also offered travel-hungry tourists an affordable way to visit New York, Rome, and Paris — without leaving the ground. For only $60, passengers in their airline seats could enjoy a life-like virtual reality tour of one of the world-class cities while feasting on a destination-themed meal.
Qantas Airlines’ “flight to nowhere”, which was announced on September 22, 2020, and sold out within 10 minutes took air travellers on a scenic tour of Australia, flying over the Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales. The seven-hour flight, which departed and returned to Sydney on October 10, 2020, cost between $787 to $3, 787 Australian dollars.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) dropped the idea of a “fight to nowhere” on September 29, 2020. Instead, the company held several fun activities that allowed passengers to experience the airline’s world-famous hospitality without leaving the ground.
Strange as the offerings may seem, they were a win-win for both customers who are longing to travel and airlines trying their best to keep afloat during these difficult times.
【1】What can tourists do in Taiwan's virtual flight?
A．Have a full airport experience.
B．Have a half-day tour.
C．Pretend to check in.
D．Fly a virtual plane.
【2】How is Qantas Airlines’ “fight to nowhere” different from the others?
A．It costs the least money.
B．It attracts the most tourists.
C．The plane really flies into the air.
D．It offers three half-day tours.
【3】How does the author feel about the “flight to nowhere”?
A．Adventurous.
B．Successful.
C．Competitive.
D．Environmentally-friendly.
【4】Which can replace the underlined words “keep afloat” in the last paragraph?
A．Win.
