2．After the glasses fell to the ground and broke，the little boy____________his grandma about that.
A．dare not tell B．dare not telling C．dare not to tell D．didn’t dare tell

person，谓语动词为(should)be，只有B项动词后面的从句用虚拟语气。] 6．Last year，the crime rate in Chicago has sharply ________. A．declined B．lessened C．slipped D．supplied 答案 A [句意：芝加哥去年的犯罪率大幅度下降。decline表示“下降”时，可用于数目、、影响、力量等对象。lessen意为“减少”，主要指规格、价值、重要性等变小。]

A mother was devastated，crying，yelling all she can in that dark corner.There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her，
because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle，silence filling the air.Loneliness was already killing her，but no one knows what made her cry! Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby，her only means to live.She saw her
child
getting killed and the accident was terrible.One lonely night，she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.
The whole time she walked with her child in her arms，the only thing that worried her was Aryan's future.She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growth，and figuring what she would have in store for
him.But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow，life can change in a second.
On that deserted road，were a few streetlights barely enough？It was this light that could be seen from a disktance，but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter.That light changed Radha's life into darkness forever.A speeding car came down that road.The driver came at a speed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window.He was definitely drunk，and the speed took everything in its path.Just then，there was a loud cry，and silence set in again.
But the mother wasn't hurt.She opened her eyes，unable to focus her eyes，
and didn't see Aryan.After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby，but alas...The child hadn't even seen life.
Simply，don't drink and drive.You_could_take_a_life，but_kill_a_number_of_people.

A survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that U．S.executives 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，a whopping 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 lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times.And，what's more，it may propel 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.
Consequently，they can concentrate on their work more
efficiently.What's more，employees who enjoy interacting with their coworkers aren't as likely to be distracted，or absent from work. Research conducted 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.This negative mood can interfere with subsequent performance.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.They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional，perhaps both.However，it is important to realize that some humour is inappropriate for the workplace，and that it is often used at wrong times.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇时文报道。管理者们认为，和那些没有幽默感的人相比，具有幽默感的人能把工作做得更好。比如，幽默的人富有合作意识，具有较高的工作效率等。

21．Which one of the following can describe a person with a sense of homour?
A．Serious. B．Funny. C．Changeable. D．Friendly.
