T

10、hen Mr Max Cohen brought her a document to copy. She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times. And when he came to fetch it, all that had been achieved were the words Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale” typed across the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did

11、 not matter in the least, and she must take her time. Her fingers were heavy and trembling, and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her, just then, an impossibly difficult task. He went home without coming to her desk

12、 again，and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived. Mrs Buss, on her way out, asked, Have you got any certificates? Martha said no. She had learned to type at home. Mrs Buss said nothing, but merely nodded absent-mindedly, for her eyes were on the elegant M

13、rs Jasper Cohen. Martha could barely see where she was going as she left the office. What she said to herself was, I wont spend the rest of my life typing this stupid jargon(术语). She then went into the building of the ZambesiNews. She was going to see if Mr Spur, an old journalist whom she had known

14、 as a child, could offer her any kind of position. She was in the building about half an hour, and when she came out, her face was hot with embarrassment. It had been so painful she could not bear to remember what had happened. What she must remember was that she had no qualifications at all. 21. Wh

15、y did Martha find her first clay at the office difficult?A. She was too nervous to think. B. Mr Cohen was not easy to please. C. The task given to her was very difficult. D.

17、 dislike to her.D. She seemed concerned about her lack of qualifications. BA lot of us lose lifes tough situations by mounting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to chalk up a win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, Sam, who hit a traffic jam on the way to work. Al

18、though there was a good reason for Sams constant lateness-serious illness at home, he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down with a dismissal speech prepared. He was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as

19、 a locker room. Sams boss approached him. Suddenly, Sam reached out his hand. How do you do! he said. I m Sam Maynard. Im applying for a job which I understand became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm? The room exploded in laughter. The boss smiled and walked back to hi

20、s office. Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh. Here is another example. An English hostess was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests. She had asked her son to serve a large roast turkey. The boy only succeeded in dropping the bird onto the dining-room

21、floor. Moving only her head, the hostess smiled at her son, No harm, Daniel, she said, just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen, she said clearly so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one. Some humorous words changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a

22、ton of fun. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视)means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for making up differences, saying sorry, saying no, criticizing, and getting the other person to do what you want without his losing face. Also, many believe tha

23、t comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people are in any other places. Of course, humor is often more than a laughing matter. In its potent guises(有效的伪装), it has a Trojan-horse(特洛伊木马)nature: no one goes on guard against a laugh; we let it in because it

24、 looks like a little wooden toy. Once inside, however, it can turn a city to reform, to rebellion(反抗), to resistance. 24. What can the underlined words chalk up in Paragraph 1 be replaced by?A. pay for. B. respond to. C. think of recording. D. succeed in getting. 25. How does the author explain the

25、power of humor?A. By using examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By introducing study results. D. By setting clown general rules. 26. What does the author mean by mentioning humors Trojan-horse nature?A. It is but a toy. B. It catches us unawares. C. We usually resist its effect. D. We seldom reall

26、y understand it. COn April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend. Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave. When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arreste

27、d. It was not until later that day that they were let go. The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral. People across the US were outraged. Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today. This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human na

28、ture. Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race. Starting from a young age, these feelings, develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal exp

29、eriences. Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society. There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago. Im

30、plicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicl

31、y apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day.
