Do boys and girls in your school read the same textbooks? It may not be that way in Shanghai.

    In September, a new primary school textbook, Pretty Girls, came out in Shanghai. It’s the first textbook especially for primary schoolgirls in China, reported Xinmin Evening News.

    This follows the book for schoolboys last year called Little Boys. Shanghai also becomes the first city in China to have different textbooks for boys and girls.

    In the book Pretty Girls, there is advice for girls on how to take care of themselves, how to stay healthy and how to make a healthy personality (人格).

    For example, it tells what a girl can do when a strange man stands too close to her on a bus. It also teaches girls how to get along with parents, teachers and friends.

    “We hope to teach girls to live with dignity (尊严), confidence (信心) and power,” Zhang Zhijun, the editor of the textbook, told China Daily.

One type of laughter is called canned laughter (罐头笑声, or fake laughter). According to the BBC, during the 1950s a US sound engineer named Charley Douglass first made canned laughter. He recorded different kinds of laughter, including giggles (咯咯笑), laughing out loud and children’s laughter. This was the early kinds of canned laughter.

    Canned laughter helps audiences (观众) of TV shows understand when to laugh. Many popular TV dramas, including 2 Broke Girls (2011,《破产姐妹》), used canned laughter. You can also hear canned laughter in Chinese sitcoms, including Home with Kids(《家有儿女》) and iPartment (《爱情公寓》).

    Canned laughter was used in many sitcoms for about 10 years, until some people said that it sounded too silly. They thought real laughter could make audiences happier. Some famous sitcoms, such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory, all use real laughter.

    The Big Bang Theory sells tickets to audiences around the world to join their live recordings. So all the laughter you hear is from the real audiences.

    There are also professional (专业的) laughters. They are good at laughing loudly. They sit with live studio audiences to get everyone else to laugh at just the right moment. 

34. Who first made canned laughter?

A. A filmmaker.       B. An editor.

C. An engineer.       D. A doctor.

35. Which of the following is NOT in canned laughter?

A. Giggles.        B. Smiles.

C. Loud laughing.      D. Children’s laughter.

36. What does the underlined word “ fake” in the first paragraph mean?

A. 开心   B. 伤心     C.有趣   D. 假的

37. What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A. Canned laughter sounds very silly.

B. Canned laughter has been popular for 10 years.

C. Canned laughter may be less popular today.

D. Famous sitcoms never use canned laughter.

C

During my last year of junior high school, our teacher, Mrs. Debby, gave us a test. I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects. I finished the questions successfully before I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Of course I thought that must have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But how could I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered.

Before the test ended, one student asked if the last question would be counted in our grades.

 “Of course,” the teacher said, “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all important. They should get your attention and care, even if all you do is just to smile and say hello.”

I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone should get my care and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That is, maybe, the most important lesson of my life. I also later learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah.

38. We can know from the article that the writer________ during the high school.

   A. was not hard-working         B. did not like his teachers

   C. always talked with Hannah        D. was good at all subjects

39. From the article, we know________.

   A. the writer hadn’t seen the cleaning woman before

   B. the writer didn’t answer the last question of the test

   C. the teacher told the writer the name of the cleaning woman

   D. the teacher didn’t count the last question in students’ grades

40. By the last question of the test, the teacher wanted to tell the students they should ________.

   A. work hard to get good grades     B. be friendly to each other

   C. care the people around them      D. clean the school by themselves

41. The best title(标题) for the article is _________.

   A. The School Cleaning Woman   B. A Special Test

   C. Mrs. Debby’s Homework    D. My Last Day at High School
