Section Ⅳ Writing about a comedian
Ⅰ.阅读理解
There exist cruel wars， fighting and sadness in the world today， so it’s not only necessary， but also essential to have a good sense of humour just to help us go through difficult times in our lives.Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed， as the saying goes， makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife， husband， child， co-worker， neighbor， close friend， or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store？ I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh， even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with.My Grandma always found humour in everything she did， even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation， but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies， as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces.They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh.I am busting a gut while they just sit there， looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke？
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.Without humour， we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems， or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy.There is too much sadness and a little light in our lives.
Therefore， I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
1.According to the passage， why is humour necessary and essential？
A.It can lift people’s spirits.
B.It can help people get on well with others.
C.It can help get rid of the cruelty in the world.
D.It makes people more confident.
2.What does the underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph mean？
A.Keeping silent. B.Speaking loud.
C.Laughing hard. D.Explaining carefully.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards the present world？
A.Critical. B.Satisfied.
C.Indifferent. D.Not mentioned.
4.In writing the passage， what does the author mainly intend to do？
A.To talk about his own understanding of humour.
B.To encourage people to be humorous in daily life.
C.To convince people of the power of being optimistic.
D.To introduce a practical way to get through daily life.

One day， Jack came home from school feeling particularly excited.He just found a sci-fi book about an adventure on the moon.Upon arriving at home， he couldn’t tear himself away from the book.He read and read until it was dark.Having finished reading it， he couldn’t wait to share it with his mother， only to be told that he should focus on more practical subjects like math and history， which would help him get into a good college and have a successful career.
Jack couldn’t understand why his mother didn’t see the value in what he was doing.He felt that she was holding him back and not allowing him to pursue his true interests.“Why can’t you see how important this is to me？” Jack asked his mother angrily.“I’m never going to be happy if I have to spend my life doing things that I show no interest in just because they are practical or make you proud.”
The once peaceful home was filled with tension and anger.His mother’s voice grew louder as she shouted， “You can’t just do whatever you want！ You should be responsible for your future！” Jack， fueled by his own frustration， shot back， “I am tired of you always telling me what to do！ I am not a child anymore！ You only care about your own feeling！ You never thought about my feeling！” They were so caught up in their own anger and hurt that they failed to see how their words and actions were affecting each other.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Jack rushed into his bedroom and locked the door heavily.
When Jack heard his mother’s words， regretful tears rolled down his face.

When Jack heard his mother’s words， regretful tears rolled down his face.He realized that everything his mother did was totally for the sake of his future and what he said hurt his mother’s heart hard.It occurred to him that he had never showed his gratitude to his mother.He couldn’t wait to open the door and said “Thank you” to his mother， who was standing in the doorway.He also promised his mother that he would study hard in practical subjects.Finally， misunderstanding cleared， they hugged each other tightly with a joyful smile.

whispered something，after which Mary roared with laughter.Funny
films or witty remarks can always do the trick when Mary is in a bad
mood.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
There exist cruel wars， fighting and sadness in the world
today， so it’s not only necessary， but also essential to have a good
sense of humour just to help us go through difficult times in our
lives.Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling
depressed， as the saying goes， makes me feel good and warms my
heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife，
husband， child， co-worker， neighbor， close friend， or even just
someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store？ I am
always saying things that make others smile or laugh， even if I don’t
know the person I’m joking around with.My Grandma always found
humour in everything she did， even if it was the hardest job anyone
could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation， but also is
a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their
bodies， as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the
floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the
slightest smile on their faces.They don’t get the joke that makes others
laugh.I am busting a gut while they just sit there， looking at me as if I
were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke？
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under
control.Without humour， we would find ourselves with a lot of
psychological problems， or on a lot of medications to keep us from
going crazy.There is too much sadness and a little light in our lives.
Therefore， I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell
some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
Jack was a bright and curious child， always eager to learn new
things and explore the mysterious world about science.However， he
often found himself in disagreement with his mother.His mother was
always busy with her work and she didn’t have enough time to learn
about his interests and passions.
One day， Jack came home from school feeling particularly
excited.He just found a sci-fi book about an adventure on the
moon.Upon arriving at home， he couldn’t tear himself away from the
book.He read and read until it was dark.Having finished reading it，
he couldn’t wait to share it with his mother， only to be told that he
should focus on more practical subjects like math and history， which
would help him get into a good college and have a successful career.
Jack couldn’t understand why his mother didn’t see the value in
what he was doing.He felt that she was holding him back and not
allowing him to pursue his true interests.“Why can’t you see how
important this is to me？” Jack asked his mother angrily.“I’m never
going to be happy if I have to spend my life doing things that I show no
interest in just because they are practical or make you proud.”
The once peaceful home was filled with tension and anger.His
mother’s voice grew louder as she shouted， “You can’t just do
whatever you want！ You should be responsible for your future！”
Jack， fueled by his own frustration， shot back， “I am tired of you
always telling me what to do！ I am not a child anymore！ You only
care about your own feeling！ You never thought about my feeling！”
They were so caught up in their own anger and hurt that they failed to
see how their words and actions were affecting each other.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Jack rushed into his bedroom and locked the door heavily.
When Jack heard his mother’s words， regretful tears rolled
down his face.
参考范文：
Jack rushed into his bedroom and locked the door heavily.He lay
on the bed， huddling himself in the quilt.What he really wanted to do
was cut himself off from the whole world， especially from his
mother.He couldn’t figure out why his mother didn’t understand him
and why she forced him to do something he didn’t like.Slowly， he fell
asleep while thinking.Suddenly he was awakened， hearing his
mother’s voice outside the door， which was filled with apologies and
tenderness.His mother promised him that she would respect his
interests in the future.
When Jack heard his mother’s words， regretful tears rolled
down his face.He realized that everything his mother did was totally
for the sake of his future and what he said hurt his mother’s heart
hard.It occurred to him that he had never showed his gratitude to his
mother.He couldn’t wait to open the door and said “Thank you” to his
mother， who was standing in the doorway.He also promised his
mother that he would study hard in practical subjects.Finally，
misunderstanding cleared， they hugged each other tightly with a
joyful smile.
谢谢观看！
