In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was faced with a difficult choice of a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan（巴基斯坦），there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement（实习工作）to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance worked, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work environment.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience was quite different. The hospital days started early（at 7 am, compared with 9 am at the bank）, and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again in the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital had an intense（严肃紧张的）environment, and the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that business was a better choice.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after a very busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with some boys sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through（穿梭）traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
Paragraph 1;
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.

Paragraph 2:
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.

The martial art of Tai Chi is on the rise as more and more people discover the benefits that come from regular practice.1.With its gentle movements and focus on forms, it' s also a good way to relax and calm the mind while it energizes and build the body.2."Chi" means energy, and it's the focus on energy that makes it different from other martial arts. Tai Chi practitioners believe that, in a struggle, meeting force with force only hurts both parties.
Tai Chi is quite easy to learn. Many recreation centers and community groups offer classes, sometimes in parks and other public places.3.Wear loose and comfortable clothing and shoes, and you can just join in.
One of the major benefits of Tai Chi is that it's a sport you can practice for life. In China, many elderly people continue to do Tai Chi into their eighties and nineties, and the strengthening and balance moves are hugely beneficial to their continued mobility.4.As you focus on your breathing and posture, your mind can clear itself of its worries, which does good to your whole body.
5.All you need is your own body and enough room to stand in. You can do Tai Chi on a mountaintop, in a park, on an ocean beach, or in the middle of a forest. It's a perfect camping activity, and it's a lot of fun. So next time you see someone doing Tai Chi, ask them about it. They might offer to teach you the forms of this fascinating sport.
A.Tai Chi is more than a just a sport.
B.There are many styles and forms of Tai Chi.
C.Best of all, Tai Chi can be performed anywhere.
D.Tai Chi's true name in Chinese is Tai Chi Chuan.
E.More old people than young men practice Tai Chi

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, "The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are." This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative.
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy（悲剧）. BBC's The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show's comedy comes from his delusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual.
This side of British humor is reflected in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm（挖苦）quite upsetting. She didn't realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This approach—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing（让人郁闷的）, but our strange humor played a big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip（坚定沉着）, the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English: "Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone." If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it's best to just laugh it off!

I was standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they threw paper and howl with laughter. They wouldn’t listen to me. І was 22 and І never wanted to teach. І wanted to be a writer. When the bell finally rang, I rushed out of the classroom, red with anger. The other teachers weren't surprised. “That's 4B, the worst class in school,” one said.
But I couldn't give up. I needed the job. So, I abandoned formal lessons. Instead, I brought topics for class discussion. One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents. They paid attention and shared about their lives. Then I encouraged them to write down their stories. Most wrote about families with little money and big problems. As time went on, their stories became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness and insight, and I think they appreciated my interest in their lives.
The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End, but they had never seen a live stage performance. I suggested taking them to see it. They thought I was joking. No teacher had ever done that. A few weeks later, 4B and I were sitting in the theater. They loved the music, the costumes and the characters. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for days.
Near the end of the semester, someone knocked on the door of the staff room. The two most rebellious(叛逆的) girls in 4B were there—with flowers.
Several years later, for the first time in my life, I stopped dreaming and started writing. My first story was titled "My Fair Ladies". Teaching wasn't the end of my writing career; it was the beginning.

C.They became more humorous. D.They stopped arguing with their parents.
3.How did the students feel about the experience to the theatre?
A.Confused. B.Excited. C.Proud. D.Encouraged.
4.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Only two girls liked the author.
B.The author became a famous writer several years later.
C.The author didn't dream any more.
D.The author's teaching experiences inspired her writing.
