A survey by an international temporary service agency found that American managers believe that

people with a sense of humor do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humor. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.

The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may help light-hearted

employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and better team players.

Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension.

Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.

If humor is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.

1. Most people think a sense of humor can ________.

A. help you to do your work better B. make you have a rich life

C. make you pleased with your work D. help you to make more friends

2. Many people don't use humor more in the workplace because ________.

A. they like keeping silent when working

B. they don't know the positive effects of humor C. they think they should obey the rules D. they don't like joking or laughing

3. A person without a sense of humor is easier ________.

A. to feel surprised B. to get along with C. to be worried D. to be successful 4. What is probably the best title for the article?

A. People with a Sense of Humor

B. Humor Is Important in the Workplace C. Humor and Humorless D. Everyone Likes Humor

题二十：

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mum, you must come and see the daffodils (水仙花) before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from

Lake Arrowhead. “I will go next Tuesday,” I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible (看不见的)in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see！”

My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never

forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”.

We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers! “But who has done this？” I asked Carolyn. “It's just one woman,” Carolyn answered. “That's her home,” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (庭院), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.

The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs (鳞茎),” it read. The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”

I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun — one bulb at a time — to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top. 1. The author didn't go to see the daffodils at first because ________.

A. she was not interested in them

B. they were growing on the mountain top C. the weather was not good enough D. it was not easy for her to drive there

2. What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?

A. She must be out of mind. B. She acted as a gardener there.

C. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils. D. She was poor and made her living by selling daffodils. 3. What could the author probably learn from this experience?

A. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it. B. We must put the interests of others above our own. C. We can change the world by growing flowers. D. It's never too late to learn.

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. An Unforgettable Experience B. Beautiful Daffodils C. One Bulb at a Time D. I Love Daffodils
