閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從各題的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber (黃瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What's the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”
This is a popular joke among British school children. It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (諷刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.
The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰當(dāng)?shù)? joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life.
While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often don’t understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are “unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.
Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (勞斯萊斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality,” he says.
1 What does the doctor actually mean by the remark “You’re not eating properly”?
A. What you have had is the cause of these problems. B. You are not having the right food.
C. You don’t eat the way people usually do. D. You eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具 )
2 The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. without water or liquid inside B. special and popular among school children
C. dull and meaningless D. funny and clever while seeming to be serious
3 Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly?
A. Because the British always take things seriously.
B. Because the British have no sense of humor.
C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with.
D. Because the British have a different sense of humor.
4 Which of the following is NOT the characteristics of British humor?
A. dry and satirical B. negative and mocking
C. encouraging and gentle D. clever and witty

When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently (屢次地) asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike (同樣的), and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的事物) of reading letters to form words.
If a three-year-old child wants to read (or even a two-year-old child for that matter), the child has the right (權(quán)利) to be given every encouragement (鼓勵(lì)). The fact that he might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers (非讀者) at child school is the teacher’s affair (事情). It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced (高級的) reading material.
Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic (having difficulty in reading 誦讀困難的).
Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters (兒童) aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition (識別) of letters by labeling (標(biāo)識) various items in the their rooms. For instance (比如), tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat (整齊的), big letters.
Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable (足以勝任的) of doing so, such an attraction (吸引) should not be ignored (對……不予理會(huì)). But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag (變?nèi)?.
1 This passage is mainly about ____ .
A. what qualities people teaching children reading should have
B. difference age groupings of children to be taught reading
C. when and how children should be taught reading
D. various problems of children who start learning to reading
2 In the writer’s opinion, children start learning to read ____ .
A. early and fast B. at different time C. by a certain rule D. from word games
3 A three-year-old child who wants to read should ____ .
A. be encouraged B. go to an infant school
C. start from fun stories D. join a class of non-readers
4The purpose of labeling items in the room is to ____ .
A. make it more colorful
B. teach children to write neatly
C. help children recognize simple letters
D. force children to develop the habit of
5 The writer suggest that ____ .
A. children should ask their parents to teach them to read
B. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading material
