I have come across ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some really excellent examples of British humour in the form of jokes. Here is a very funny joke about how the English and the Scottish save on train fare.
Five Englishmen boa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rded a train just behind five Scots, who as a group had only bought one ticket. Just before the conductor (售票员) came, all the Scots went into the toilet. As the conductor passed the toilet, he knocked and called, “Tickets, please!” One of the Scots slid a ticket out under the door. It was punched (打孔) and pushed back. When it was safe, all the Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were quite impressed by what the Scots had done. On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and bought only one ticket. They noticed that the Scots had not bought any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came, the Scots went into one of the toilets, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the Englishmen’s toilet and called, “Tickets, please!” When the ticket was slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door.
English humour sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ows the ups and downs of life in Britain. Humour helps us to look at the lighter side of things. So, if you want a good laugh, and want to change your attitude to what would otherwise be a difficult situation, turn to a good English situation comedy and have a good time.

7. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage

C. To show his confusion about British humour.
D. To show how British culture affects the British.

Separate the sick goldfish from the other fish
One of the first a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ctions that you have to take to save a dying goldfish is to separate the sick goldfish from the other fish in the fishbowl. This is done so that the sick fish will not pollute the water and make the other healthy fish sick. Once you have removed the dying goldfish from the fishbowl, place it in a separate bowl which has been filled with bottled mineral water. It is advisable that you do not fill the bowl with tap water (自来水) as there might be chemicals in the tap water which might make your goldfish sick.
Change the water
Once you have separ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ated the sick goldfish from the other fish, it is a good idea to change the water in the bowl a couple of times. At this point of time it is advisable that you do not add any additives (添加剂) or salt to the water. Keep the fish under observation for a couple of hours. If you are lucky, your goldfish will be up and swim like a healthy fish.
Give the goldfish medicine
If your goldfis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h is still lying on the bottom of the fishbowl even after the water change, then you need to give it some medicine. But first you need to look out for signs of diseases. For cloudy eyes, tail and fin rot as well as bloody spots, you can use a fungus eliminator, which can be bought from any pet shop.
By keeping the wate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r clean and using a water filter (过滤器) you can prevent many goldfish diseases. If your fish is still sick after using the methods listed above, then you need to take it to experts.
8. What would be the best title for the passage
A. How to keep fish in a fishbowl
B. How to save a dying goldfish
C. How to prevent some goldfish diseases
D. How to keep water in a fishbowl clean
9. Upon discovering a sick fish in the bowl, we should .
A. have the water in the bowl filtered at once
B. add more bottled mineral water to the bowl
C. remove the fish and put it in a bowl filled with tap water
D. take the sick fish out and put it in another separate bowl
10. What may be the function of “a fungus eliminator”
A. To produce healthy food for fish.
B. To help goldfish take medicine.
C. To remove harmful things from a fishbowl.
D. To check if there are sick fish in a fishbowl. 21教育网
11. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )writer, in order to prevent goldfish getting sick, we must first of all .
A. check the quality of tap water regularly
B. keep the water in the bowl clean all the time
C. change the water in the bowl several times a day2·1·c·n·j·y
D. keep the fish in separate bowls filled with clean water

Steve Spangler ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has seen how math and science seem like magic ever since he was a kid. When he was small, his dad, who was a scientist and a magician, would show how both magic and science worked together at home. Now that Spangler is an adult, it’s his turn to help kids understand the magic in science.
“We’re trying to ge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t kids to think, to wonder, to discover, to explore and to ask questions,” said Spangler, 45 now.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Spangler began as a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) science teacher in Colorado and is now a science celebrity (名人) making regular TV appearances to show off some of his coolest experiments.

Spangler has won award ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s for promoting science education. He has appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’s show several times to do experiments, including blowing large smoke rings, filling her studio with flying potatoes and demonstrating (示范) an exploding pumpkin trick. He has also developed his own show that you can watch on YouTube called “The Spangler Effect” to show other unusual experiments you can try at home.
Spangler believes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that kids can learn the principles of doing experiments, including making correct measurements and repeating experiments to make sure the results are correct while still having a lot of fun. This kind of active learning is what Spangler discovered with his father when he was a kid. Back then, he just thought it was magic.
“It’s more than an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )activity,” Spangler said. “It creates an unforgettable learning experience.”
12. The goal of Spangler’s experiments is to .
A. teach children how to play tricks B. show off his unusual ability
C. make children interested in science
D. make money by giving different shows
13. We can learn from the passage that Spangler .

C. supporting D. continuing
15. What can be the best title for the passage

C. Science education is important D. Active learning is important

I call my grandma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Nanny. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship when she was only eight. 16 They never had much money, but they were rich in love. Nanny grew up, married, and raised 4 kids of her own. And when my parents moved back into her home she helped to raise me too.
One day when I was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about six years old my parents and brothers went on a trip. 17 Nanny seemed so happy to take care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I did was show dissatisfaction about how the food was not how Mom always made it. 18 I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it. 21世纪教育网版权所有
19 She ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.
That memory wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll stay in my heart forever. It is strange that so many people think it shows weakness to admit mistakes and say sorry. 20
Asking for fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love. It helps us to become the people we were meant to be. Those who never say they’re sorry will end up living sorry lives.
A. We should never al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )low ourselves to be too proud to admit we’re wrong.B. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend.C. When you do, you’ll feel better about yourself.D. I walked over to Nanny, apologized and asked Nanny to forgive me.E. After getting here, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) her large family worked hard to build a new life in America.F. In truth, it is a sign of both strength and wisdom.G. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room.
