第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently.
“A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply”, neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the “money wasn’t mine to begin with” and that he always intended to give it away.
The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel’s donation was extremely generous. “It’s allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel’s wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid,” Herkert told TODAY.
After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua（吉娃娃犬）. Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.
Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they’d be there to help out in any way needed.
1、Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.
A．how Gremel earned the money B．what kind of person Gremel is
C．why Gremel made the donation D．where Gremel has been living
2、What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?
A．He raised many pet dogs in his life.
B．He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.
C．He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.
D．He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.
3、What can we infer about Gremel’s neighbors from the text?
A．They live in harmony with animals. B．They are impressed with dog Winnie.
C．They lead a healthy and wealthy life. D．They are caring and kind to each other.

B
A survey by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour 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 humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour 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 humour could help the employees to release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour 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 humour 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 humour in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.
1、Most people think a sense of humour 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 humour more in the workplace because __________.
A．they like keeping silent when working
B．they don't know the positive effects of humour
C．they think they should obey the rules
D．they don't like joking or laughing
3、A person without a sense of humour 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 Humour.
B．Humour Is Important in the Workplace.
C．Humour and Humourless.
D．Everyone Likes Humour.
