Dear David,
I’m sorry to hear that you have trouble learning Chinese. And I’m writing to offer you some advice.
Below are my suggestions for you. First of all, I advise that you should take a Chinese course, which is of great help to improve your Chinese ability. What’s more, it is a good idea for you to watch TV and read books in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, why not learn some Chinese songs Last but not least, make more Chinese friends, and you will have more chances to practice your oral Chinese.
I hope that my advice is of great help to you. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL(美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he’d faced on a football field: sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he’d played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn’t make sense—why would you leave an awesome NFL career？” he says.
But Brown wasn’t going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn’t feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me；it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn’t know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today—watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farm that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014，the first harvest was ready.Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get that food doesn’t just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.
5．What did most people think of Brown’s decision to retire from the NFL
A．They weren’t satisfied with it. B．They couldn’t understand it.
C．They worried about it. D．They disapproved of it.
6．What does the underlined word “radical” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Easy. B．Slow. C．Great. D．Careful.
7．How did Brown learn to grow food
A．From books. B．From the Internet.
C．By practicing on a local farm. D．By attending beginner training classes.
8．Which of the following can best describe Brown
A．Brave and generous. B．Proud and determined.
C．Ambitious and sensitive. D．Considerate and optimistic.
C
Recently，a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was.This is obviously a difficult task，as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not—especially when they are from different countries.
Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world：
Two hunters were out in the woods.One of them fell to the ground.He didn’t seem to be breathing；his eyes were closed.The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services.“My friend is dead！” he cried to the operator.“What can I do？” The operator said，“Don’t worry.First，make sure he’s dead.” There was a silence，and then a shot was heard.Bang！The hunter’s voice came back on the line.He said，“OK，now what？”
This is perhaps amusing.Culturally，it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people，and that often they are quite violent.But perhaps this is not so all over the world.It’s also quite a black joke—a joke about something that isn’t really a funny subject.The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world.Here it is：
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip.After dinner，they went to sleep.Some hours later，Holmes woke up.“Watson，look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
“I see millions of stars，Holmes，” replied Watson.
“And what do you infer from that？”
“Well，there are billions of stars...we are a small part of the universe.”
“Watson，you idiot！” he said.“Someone has stolen our tent！”
I personally think this is better.
Can scientists in the end decide what is funny？Some things are much too complicated，even for scientists.
28．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Few jokes can make scientists laugh.
B．Only scientists can find out the funniest joke.
C．There are different jokes in different countries.
D．People hold different opinions about what is funny.
29．What does the author think of the first joke
A．It is not so funny as the experts thought.
B．It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard.
C．It can greatly affect readers’ attitudes toward hunters.
D．It shows that not all hunters are intelligent.
30．What can affect a person’s understanding of a joke
A．The person’s feeling.
B．The length of the joke.
C．The person’s cultural background.
D．The language that the teller uses.
31．Which of the following is the best title for this text
A．Uninteresting Jokes
B．Different Kinds of Jokes
C．The Funniest Joke in the World
D．Tips on How to Make Others Laugh
D
