It’s time to rest and recharge yourself with a much-needed getaway, along with our suggestions of where to go. Working Overtime Is Your Life If long hours are part of your job and you’re not willing to find different work, book off some vacation days. Vacations give us something to look forward to when the daily hard work is weighing us down. • REST up at a destination spa (度假式水疗). • RECHARGE your batteries on a skiing vacation. You’ve an Unhealthy Way of Life Only time can mend a broken heart, but spending time with your best friends may speed things along. Plan a girlfriends’ getaway or guys’ weekend immediately! • REST by the fountain at a hot see-and-be-seen LA boutique hotel. • RECHARGE on a shopping trip or at a non-stop party hotspot. You’re Nursing a Broken Heart Though it’s possible to kick bad habits like smoking or over-eating at home a trip abroad may make it a bit easier. On a vacation with healthy lifestyle habits at the centre, you’re forced to focus on self-care in a way which would prove impossible at home.

B A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness. However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important. In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun. Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self- image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture. A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner. Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another. Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware of. With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity. 69. Hobbes believes that humor____ A. was for people to view the world from another angle B. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings C. had the power to mirror personal glory and national values D. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better 70. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly__________. A. by comparison B. by process C. by example D. by classification 71. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor. B. The author feels helpless and sad about getting older. C. Never be the one who laughs at other people. D. Chaplin wasn’t aware of being laughed at. C Think of the last time a song really moved you, or meant something to you．Listening to and playing music affects marry different sections of the brain, affecting us physically as well. Why are we as humans so connected to music? Making music is something that we are bor
