26、 My dad was a farmer in the Midwest and he spent his winters selling insurance. Dad could really talk up anyone and his favorite thing to do was find out their income. Once we were at Chicago's O'Hare airport. Dad was sitting with me as I waited for my flight to Fort Lauderdale. A Russian guy who sat down next to my dad could not speak a word of English but this did not stop my dad. He found out his business, how many children he had and of course how much he made.
I used to be a little embarrassed by this, but I changed later. It was in the last year of dad's life. As I was home visiting with my husband and twins and I was in the car with my mom, she told me a story about how she was in the doctor's office with dad and how he was his usual self-talking away to the others in the waiting room. She said he started talking to this young man in a wheel chair who could not talk, could not move his arms or head, really couldn't do anything. But dad was asking questions and got the young man to smile in response. And he carried on like that with the disabled man till he was called back to the doctor's office. When the young man and his father got up to see the doctor, the father of the young man came over and shook my dad's hands and said, "Thank you for speaking to my son. Most people just turn away when they see him.'
My father ended up dying later that month, a sudden heart attack. Fortunately, all the 9 children of his had been home that summer to visit. I told this story at his funeral(葬礼). Truly, my dad was one who never knew a stranger.

28、 Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, "The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are." This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative.
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy(悲剧). BBC's The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show's comedy comes from his delusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual.
This side of British humor is reflected in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦)quite upsetting. She didn't realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This approach—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing(让人郁闷的), but our strange humor played a big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip(坚定沉着), the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English: "Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone." If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it's best to just laugh it off!
【1】How is British humor special?
A.It is often surprising and boring.
B.It is often about negative things.
C.It often laughs at happy people.
D.It often makes happy things depressing.
【2】From paragraph 2-5 we can know that .
A.British people will not laugh at their good friends
B.there is a great difference between comedy and tragedy
C.stupid people are often treated well in Shakespeare's plays
D.British humor used to give people courage in face of sufferings
【3】How does the author advise people to react to British humor?
A.Keep silent.
B.Cry as you like.
C.Don't take it seriously.
D.Try to hold back your laughter.
29、What’s better: private school vs public school? Choosing which school to send your children to can be a very hard decision to make. 【1】
Ask about testing scores. Students at private schools tend to outscore public school students on standardized tests, which can affect your child’s ability to get into college. 【2】 Researchers have used the same data to come to conflicting conclusions. Other factors like socioeconomic status, can influence student’s scores, regardless of where they are educated.
【3】 In general, public schools tend to have larger class sizes than private schools. If you need a school that can give more attention to individual students, you might consider a private school or a smaller public school.
Tour the school. Before you even begin to choose between a public or private one, you’ll need to schedule a tour of the school you’re interested in. Do the students look happy and engaged? Are the learning spaces bright and clean? 【4】 Taking your children along gives the them chance to see the school and decide if it feels like a comfortable environment to them.
Don’t put too much stock in online ratings. 【5】 But they could also have fantastic teachers and principals. Talking to others help you figure out if this is true. Therefore, don’t write a school off just because its ratings are a little low.
In a word, knowing what matters to you in terms of the differences between public and private education can make your decision a little easier.
A.The final decision is yours.
B.Take into account class size.
C.Some practical actions can help a lot.
D.However, there is some debate about this.
E.You can learn a lot about these when you visit.
F.Same schools might have unfavorable comments.
G.Decide how important private schools are to your child.

“There are three days in life. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. One is over and done, one we live in, the other we ___. We can’t live in yesterday, but if we are happy enough today, we will be even happier tomorrow,” he said in an attempt to ___the boy.
The little boy looked at him for a moment and said, “If Mommy is going home tomorrow, I’ll be __ . So, I want it to be tomorrow already, Daddy.”
Now hanging on every word of this __ , I leaned forward to hear his response. It was __ .
