 四、阅读理解（共四段 16小题，每小题 2分，共32 分）
 A
 Your child can begin developing a sense of humor at a very young age. To help your child grow up healthily, it's important to know how to amuse him or her at different ages.
 Babies
 Young babies don't really understand humor, but they do know when you are smiling and happy. Sometime between 9 and 15 months, when you make funny noises or faces and then laugh or smile, your babies are likely to sense your joy or you are amusing them.
 Preschoolers
 As your child develops language skills, he or she will find some words funny. And it's around this time that many kids start trying to make their parents laugh by pretending to be asleep or asking funny questions. Your children might point to the wrong place when asked "Where's your nose?" or walk around your room wearing your big shoes or somersault（翻筋斗）in bed. They are more likely to find humor in a picture they draw and often start playing hide and seek with you.
 School-age kids
 As your child moves into kindergarten and beyond, basic wordplay and singing children songs will be increasingly funny. Children at this age may discover the pleasure of telling jokes. They can play games with their partners or make fun of others.
 Older grade-school children have a better grasp of what words mean and are able to play with some kinds of words. But kids at this age are also developing understandings of humor, including the ability to use sarcasm（讽刺）and to handle unfavorable situations using humor. They also learn to give nicknames to their teachers or classmates.
 41. When may children discover the pleasure of telling jokes?

 B
 When ! walk through the streets, I pass strange rooms where people are doing strange things. Some are biking madly. Others are holding metal bars to keep them from dropping down. Still others are jumping around while someone is shouting at them. It looks like something out of Dante's
 Inferno（但丁《神曲》中的《地狱篇》）. But what is the most amazing is that people pay for these sufferings!
 The strange rooms are gyms. It is reported that some 41 million Americans are gym members. 12% of the memberships are born in January, as they are determined to knock off the holiday fat.
 Maybe it is good to exercise in the gym. However, should they know they can keep in good shape, spending little money, would they still agree with its necessity? During my school years, I kept fit by playing basketball. It cost little -- just a basketball.
 At the age of 23, I joined a gym. I lifted weights in Muscle’s Gym. I paid as little as $200 per year.
 You can't find such gyms in every city anymore. Too often, the gym is fancy（花哨的）with lots of equipment. If you ask how much it costs to join it, the person at the front desk often won’t tell you straight. Instead, he’11 let you meet with a fitness consultant（健身顾问）, who will provide you with a great number of reasons and suggestions, such as losing weight and getting healthier, just in order to put pressure on you to spend much money joining the gym and becoming a member there.
 Working out with the help of equipment at home has problems, too. I bought a spinning bike（动感单车）for home use. I tried a few workouts only to find that it brought me a neck problem.
 Now I'm back to my old way. I do Yoga（瑜伽）every morning and evening. Total cost: $60 for an exercise mat（垫子）. I'm enjoying fitness.
 45. In the author’s opinion, joining a gym nowadays is          .
 A. exciting     B. inexpensive           C. unnecessary      D. helpful
 46. The author will possibly agree that          .
 A. working out in gyms will bring a lot of sufferings
 B. to be a fitness consultant can bring in a lot of money
 C. taking up Yoga at home is a good way to keep healthy
 D. you should buy good equipment if you exercise at home
 47. From the text we can infer that          .
 A. many Americans put on weight after Christmas and New Year’s Day
 B. the author and his family had spent a lot of money exercising in gyms
 C. 12% of the American people are members of gyms
 D. spinning bikes are good equipment for exercise
 48. What does the author mean by saying "Now I'm back to my old way"?
 A. He is on his way home after taking exercise.
 B. He returns and finds the road he has passed by.
 C. He is familiar with the road on which the gyms are.
 D. He is exercising in the same way he once exercised.

 Do you really want to teach? Does the idea of helping people, providing the knowledge that you obtain and giving it to those who need it really make you excited? Teaching is quite different from any other professions. As a teacher, you have to wear many hats. You should play many roles when doing your duty, including a communicator, a classroom manager and a decision-maker. As a teacher, your workday doesn't end when the school bell rings. You still have to correct your. students’homework or probably communicate with their parents through family visits. All these demand some of your personal time.
 So you-still think that you want to become a teacher? Well, before you head into the classroom, you really need to know what type of teacher you would like to become. Do you want to work with really young children? Elementary School? High School? Or do you want to teach in a university? Figuring out where your passion lies will help you become a teacher much easier than waiting until the last minute when you have to decide your focus.
 Now that you have decided what type of teacher you want to become, you have to know the requirements that you will need to meet in order to become a teacher.
 Earn your degree! You have to be educated in order to be an educator. The liberal arts（文科）education will help you prepare for a teaching career. Many schools will actually have programs that are built around the type of teacher that you want to become. You may only need a Bachelor's degree, but many schools also require a Master's degree. If you want to teach at the college level, then you are expected to earn your PhD. Put in the time, and earn your degree. Without your education you can't become a teacher.
 53. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means        .
 A. teachers have to put forward as many solutions as possible
 B. teachers need to play many roles in their work.
 C. teachers should prepare some hats for their students
 D. teachers actually shouldn’t ‘t wear hats in the classroom

 B. there are few differences between teaching and other careers
 C. some students ‘parents require teachers to pay a family visit
 D: passion makes students listen carefully until the last minute     .
 55. Before you want to become a teacher, you should consider
 A. how to work with young students
 B. whether your passion lies in education
 C. when to make your students focus on the lesson
 D. what kind of school you want to teach in
 56. The last paragraph mainly tells us     .
