Winston Churchill is probably the most popular British prime minister ever. Having served his country as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. But while his heroic stand against the Nazis is well known, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.

The classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. However, he almost never took a puff, preferring to chew on the end until it went out, then relight it and start again.

Although it?s somewhat overshadowed by his political career, Winston Churchill was an accomplished writer. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. His first book was The Story of the Malakand Field Force, a first-hand account of a military campaign in what is now Pakistan. Funnily enough, there was an American writer named Winston Churchill active at the same time.

Interestingly, both Churchills published their first books in 1898, although the American Churchill was the first to become famous for his writing. Unsurprisingly, he would finally be

eclipsed (使黯然失色) by the fame of his British counterpart and is almost forgotten today. But at the time, the two writers were often confused with each other. To avoid further difficulty, the two Churchills eventually agreed that the British Churchill would publish as “Winston S. Churchill” while the American would simply go by “Winston Churchill”.

In December 1931, Churchill was in New York. While crossing the street, he was hit by a car. As it turned out, Churchill had instinctively looked to the right when he wanted to cross. However, since cars drive on opposite sides of the road in America and Britain, he should actually have looked left. Instead, he stepped serenely into the path of an oncoming car.

Fortunately, he played down the severity of the injuries. He also accepted all the blame for the accident, informing the police that the driver was innocent and securing his release. Afterwards, Churchill managed to talk his doctor into writing him a note stating that “The post-accident concussion (撞击) of Winston S. Churchill necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits, especially at meal times.”

24. The underlined word “overshadow” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. to hide B. to promote

C. to bring shame on

D. to make… small by comparison 25. Which of the following is true of Churchill? A. He preferred political career to writing. B. His first book is about the war against Nazis.

C. His popularity seemed not to be affected by his image of smoking cigar. D. He had a fight with the American Churchill over the use of their names. 26. From the car accident, we know Churchill was a ________ man. A. loving B. careless C. sympathetic

D. strong-willed

27. What may the paragraph that follows talk about?

A. Churchill?s other kindness.

·3·

B. Churchill?s political achievement. C. Some other anecdotes of Churchill.

D. Churchill?s popularity in international community

Nobody likes an old poop (傻子). Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you?ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle (咯咯地笑) rather than a scolding.

Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

28. If you?ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ________. A. you are blue B. you are funny D. you are humorous

29. According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ________. A. chuckle

C. you lack humor
