It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course, it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldnt work so a young officer, Mr Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry. “Im sorry, sir，” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.” And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldiers turn. He said，“ Im sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but .”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out，“If you say something was wrong with your bus, Ill punish you at once！”“No, no, sir, ” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way！”语篇解读：本文讲述了一个九位士兵如何为自己喝醉酒而没有按时返回军营找借口开脱的幽默故事。1The military camp was built in the village to_.Astop the soldiers going to townsBstop the soldiers meeting their friends Ctrain the new soldiers Dmake the young men live quietly解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知，在村庄建军营的目的是训练新兵。2.

No ones going to throw tomatoes at you if you fail to make others laugh, and youre not going for a hard test. You just want to add some fun to your life and conversations, and appear more easygoing. So dont put so much pressure on yourself.Dont take things too seriously. Ease up on life and yourself; get used to taking things with a grain of salt. See the humour in situations; youll see that most situations, even getting a $200 speeding ticket or slipping over on a banana peel; have humour written all over them the trick is finding them and being able to laugh at yourself.You cant be funny if you dont have any references or material. The broader your general knowledge is, the easier youll become funny.So the more you know about films, TV programs, music, and everything about pop cultures, the greater the chance of being funny is. Broaden your horizons (视野) and stay up to date with current events in the news.Find your style.Avoid imitating actors and comedians because it may not suit your style. If youre not a very sarcastic (嘲笑的) person, it makes it hard to imitate someone like Chandler from Friends. If youre rather quiet, it will be nearly impossible to take on Robin Williams or Jim Carreys humour.Have a joke pool. You never know when a situation calls for a joke, like if youre at a boring party, chatting with some acquaintances. Humour yourself with a joke a day to take a break from your daily tasks, and keep the ones you like best in mind.That way, youll always have several in stock for when the time is right.5The writer wrote this passage mainly to tell us _.Awhy being funny is importantBhow to be happy in our lifeChow to learn to be funnyDwhy he is so funny解析：选C作者意图题。通读全文可知，作者主要告诉了我们一些怎样变得风趣的方法，故选C。6What does Paragraph 1 mainly advise us to do?ATry to be funny at any time.BAdd some fun to our life.CAppear to be more easygoing.DAvoid putting too much pressure on ourselves.解析：选D主旨大意题。第一段的“Okay, the first thing you need to do is to relax.”为这一段的主旨句，主要告诉我们要放松，不要给自己太大压力。7When the writer says “Dont take things too seriously”， he probably means_.Awe shouldnt care about what we haveBwe can find humour even in difficult situationsCwe should let others know they can laugh at usDwe should learn to laugh at other peoples bad situations解析：选B推理判断题。根据作者在第二段所举的例子“even getting a $200 speeding ticket or slipping over on a banana peel; have humour written all over them”可知作者叫我们不要太在意，是告诉我们即使一些不好的处境也可以转化成幽默。8What does the writer suggest NOT doing?AImitating actors or comedians.BLearning about the current events.CLearning to laugh at ourselves.DReading more jokes.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段的“Avoid imitating actors and comedians because it may not suit your style.”可知作者建议我们别去模仿演员和喜剧演员。.语法填空Even after living in China for over 10 years, I still notice unexpected cultural differences especially since we had Jack.
