“I’ve always thought that to be I need three things: someone to , something to do and something to look forward to,” she said. “I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to me as busy as I want, but I don’t have anything I’m looking forward to. Do you have any ?”
“What did you look forward to before you came here?” we asked.
“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,” Miriam said.
“What did you about?” we asked.
“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,” she said with a smile.
At that very moment, we got the idea to start our . We began looking for humor, and we used all of our .We started with a teabag with the : You are like this teabag… only in hot water do you realize how strong you are.
We continued and found cartoons and videos filled with humor. People brought us stickers, books, games and magazines. We together humor baskets with books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages.

【解析】
试题分析：“Search for a Smile and Share it”. 如果我们每个人都自觉地搜索微笑并且与他人分享，世界将会变得更加美好。
1.
2. “I’ve got people here to love”可知，Miriam认为感到快乐，需要有人去爱。所以选A. love.
3.“I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to 38 me as busy as I want,”此处要选非谓语的中心词来修饰activities，所以该处的文意应为“我有爱的人，也有一些让我像我所希望的那么忙碌的活动”，而keep sb busy“让某人一直忙着”，故答案应为C. keep. 而其它选项A. lead “引导，导致”，其结构多为lead sb to sth/ lead sb to do sth；B. find 可以有“find sb + adj.”这种结构，但翻译成发现某人…，所以语意不符；D. encourage“鼓励”,其结构为“encourage sb to do sth”，所以从结构上可以排除D.
4.Do you have any ideas?”意为“你有什么想法/主意吗？”情景交际用语。
5. 动词辨析。根据上下文Miriam 所说的话：“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,”“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,”可推知，在这两句话中间，“我们”问的是：“Miriam，你觉得什么好笑、值得开心呢？”
6.We began looking for humor”可知，我们开始了我们的“方案，计划” A. procedure“程序、步骤”；C. Research“调查、研究”；D. preparation“准备”；并且下文也多次出现了用project来表示我们所做的事情。故答案确定为B.
7.A. efforts“努力”；B. senses“感官、感觉” C. tools“工具” D. families“家庭”
该句句意：“我们开始寻找幽默，用尽我们所有的 。”首先可以排除C.D.。下文并没描述我们多么努力，竭尽心力地去做这件事，而是讲到，我们从生活的各个方面去发现幽默和快乐，所以该空答案应为B.可以译为：“我们尽可能全方位地去感知这个世界。”
8. A. message“信息”B. letter“信件，字母”C. cover“封面” D. sign“符号、记号，招牌、指示牌”，此处指在茶叶袋上有…的信息，所以答案用A. Message.
9.We began looking for humor,”和该空后的“and found cartoons and videos filled with humor.”这两句里的looking for 和 found 可推知，该空为B. search.
10.…放在一起”。根据句意：“我们把这些装有书籍、磁带、贺卡和适合各个年龄段孩子的玩具的幽默篮子‘放在了一起’”。所以答案选D. put11. A. paid“付款”B. made“制作”C. filled“装满”D. applied“申请”，该空根据句意：“我们为Miriam也‘做’了一个幽默篮子”，所以选B.made.
12.Miriam让我们想到了并开始了这个project，所以该处选A. started。
13. 。” A. highlight“精彩”；B. satisfaction“满意”； C. project“工程项目、规划计划”；D. appointment“任命，约会”。显然，该空只能填A. highlight.
14.A. designs“设计”；B. foods“食物”C. books“书籍”D. contents“容纳的东西”
根据上文（倒数第四段）“ humor baskets books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages.”可知，幽默篮子里放的东西有书、磁带、贺卡和玩具，所以正确答案为D. C. book“书籍”，片面了。
15.A. touching “令人感动的”；B. successful“成功的”；C. interesting“有趣的”；D.respectful“有礼貌的”。通过下文可知，其它的疗养院请我们做些事情，所以the project 应该是“成功的”。
16. A. gifts“礼物”；B. donations“捐赠物”C. requests“请求、要求”D. arrangements“安排”，根据下文“ One nursing home asked us to make a humor cart…”及“Still another nursing home requested that …”所以，可以推知其它的一些疗养院做出了“请求”，故正确答案为：C.request.
17.a humor cart“快乐推车”，那么以此词为宾语， 以Volunteers作主语，所以要选push。意为：“志愿者们推着快乐推车在走廊，和疗养院里的疗养者们分享着快乐。”所以该空选B.
18.A. nurses“护士”； B. workers“工人”；C. residents“住户、房客”；D. children“孩子”。志愿者们在疗养院里推着推车，显然一般是要和“疗养者”们分享快乐，所以选C. residents.
19.A. design“设计”； B. organize“组织”；C. decorate“装饰”； D. offer“主动提供”。其宾语为：a humor house room，所以该空动词应选A. design. 句意为：“另一个疗养院请我们设计一个快乐房间，完成时要有一部放喜剧的投影仪。”
20. A. save“救”；B. help“帮助”；C. thank“感谢”；D. satisfy“使…满足”。
根据上文可知，“我们”开始仅仅想“帮助”一下这个老妇人，最终这个帮助演变成了一个一生的事业：“Search for a Smile and Share it”.

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make. Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.
Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls. The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍）their responses. Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的）. Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.
"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger. ' " Hare told. Discovery News.
Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.
Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behavior, thus increasing the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.
In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too. According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.
While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽）. Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.
1.The text mainly talks about _______ .
A. the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies
B. the comparison between squirrels and chickadees
C. the calling for the protection of squirrels
D. the study on the language of squirrels
2.If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____.
A. whistles with chucks B. pure chirps
C. whistles without chucks D. repeated chucks
3.The underlined word “tidings” in paragraph 6 probably means ____.
A. difficulties B. noises
C. messages D. languages
4.What can be learned from this text?
A. Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.
B. Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.
C. Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.
D. Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language.

What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ?1 including free milk from the farm.

Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.

A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London.
C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
