21、 When I sent my daughter, Emma, off for her freshman year of college a few years ago, I found myself affected by an unbelievable feeling of melancholy. Clearly, I'm not alone. Just last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 90 percent of colleges offer to help moms and dads who are “struggling with the change.”
Between Thanksgiving, winter holiday, spring break and summer break, the first one out of my nest has come fluttering back home nearly every month of the year since she has been away. Good friends like to joke that they see more of her now than they did when she was a senior in high school. In the meantime, Emma calls, texts or e-mails me almost every day.
Given all this, missing Emma seems kind of silly；I've never really gotten the chance. So why, then, have I still felt on some level that I've experienced a great loss?
All summer long before Emma left that first year, I took Emma out for countless mother-daughter breakfasts, lunches, coffees and walks. At the same time, I seemed to find fault with Emma all the time. In my eyes, Emma had spent the weeks leading up to school going out with her friends too much, staying out way too late, making too big a mess, not working enough and, for goodness sake, certainly not spending enough time with me!
Although it's taken quite a while to realize what was happening, I now understand that my unhappiness and anxiety are not a reflection of how much time Emma and I spend together. Regardless of how often she comes home, or how many times a day we chat or text, Emma is now gone in a far grander sense. She is well on the road to adulthood, and from this, she will never return.
【1】What does the underlined word “melancholy” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Fierce anger. B.Deep sadness.
C.Extreme excitement. D.Great satisfaction.
【2】Why does it seem silly for the author to miss her daughter?
A.They keep in touch frequently. B.Friends like to make fun of her.
C.Emma has grown up to an adult. D.Other parents don't behave like this.
【3】What actually made the author overly worried?
A.The untidiness of Emma's room. B.The passing of Emma's childhood.
C.Taking Emma out all too often. D.Spending little time with Emma.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Changes in the Parent-Child Relationship B.The Most Concerned Parents of All Time
C.Growing Pains for College Students D.Struggling to Let Go of My Daughter
22、Why do we laugh at movies like Office Space or shows like The Office? What’s so funny about work?
Steve from California shared. “During a meeting, my boss praised our colleague, saying how handsome he is. The team felt awkwardly surprised, until my boss corrected, ‘No — it’s great how hands-on he is!’ Everyone laughed, easing the tense atmosphere from the meeting. ‘Well, he is handsome, too!’ I defended jokingly, and we al laughed again!”
Office may seem like a serious place. But, according to a study, introducing some laughter into work life can contribute to our well-being and productivity. In fact, finding humor is one of the practices we teach students in our online course. The funny stories they shared remind us that a little playfulness goes a long way toward a more enjoyable work life.
Laughter serves to create and strengthen social bonds in humans — as well as in our chimp (黑猩猩) ancestors. One evolutionary theory claims that laughter first appeared in these ancestors as a response to signal that they are safe at present and a relief to others after something unexpected occurs. This also has implications in modern times, and it may explain why colleagues who laugh more together tend to enjoy a more safe or comfortable environment and a greater sense of unity among teams.
Feeling comfortable in our work environment can enable us to think openly and take risks — a basis for finding creative solutions at work, contributing to our productivity. According to one study, managers who use humor at work are more likely to reach their unit’s target goals. What’s more, employees who say that their manager “makes us laugh at ourselves when we are too serious” or “uses humor to take the edge off during stressful periods” are more likely to trust their manager, and feel a sense of belonging at work.
Of course, humor isn’t always called for — particularly if it’s a distraction from our tasks or keeps us from seeing and addressing real problems at work. But in many situations, sharing jokes with colleagues and finding humor in the chaos can make work a little more fun.
【1】What can we learn from Steve’s sharing in the second paragraph?
A．The meeting was always filled with laughter.
B．He helped relieve tension during the meeting.
C．The team was greatly frightened at his words.
D．The boss thought his colleague quite handsome.
【2】What is the original function of laughter among our chimp ancestors?
A．To create a comfortable atmosphere.
B．To better their bonds with humans.
C．To unite other members in the team.
D．To inform partners of their present safety.
【3】What is the benefit of a manager’s using humor at work?
A．The company is likely to make more profits.
B．The company will attract more job applicants.
C．The employees will feel more included at work.
D．The employees are more likely to work overtime.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．How to Strengthen Our Sense of Humor
B．How to Create a Fun Work Environment
C．How Humor Can Improve Our Work Life
D．How Important Being a Humorous Worker Is
