The Americans have been voted the world’s “funniest nationality” ---the one “best at making people laugh” ---in a global poll (民意調(diào)查), which also names the Germans the “l(fā)east funny” nationality and the British “not as funny as they think”.
30,000 people across 15 countries were asked to name both the “funniest” and “l(fā)east funny” nationality in a poll conducted by Badoo.com, the world’s largest social network for meeting new people, with 119 million users worldwide.
The Americans were voted the funniest nationality, ahead of the Spanish --- the funniest Europeans --- in second, Italians in third and British in seventh.
The voting for the “l(fā)east funny” nationality confirmed the view of America’s Mark Twain that “a German joke is no laughing matter”. The Germans won, ahead of the Russians and Turks. The stereotype of German humourlessness is believed to derive from their reputation for efficiency, punctuality and rationality(理性). Examples of German jokes include: “Yesterday, I met my friend Horst at the hospital. He’d swallowed a sponge. He says it doesn’t hurt but he’s always thirsty.”
“When we meet someone new, one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Marketing Director. “America is a worthy poll winner”, says Price. “It’s the world’s only comedy superpower.”
The British pride themselves on their humour but learn from the poll that they’re not as funny as they think. They placed just seventh of 15 --- behind the Brazilians, French and Mexicans.
【小題1】According to the poll, which is the right order from the funniest nationality to the least funny one?

A．Spanish, Americans, French, Mexicans, British
B．Americans, Spanish, Italians, Brazilians, French
C．British, Mexicans, Brazilians, Spanish, Americans
D．Italians, French, British, Mexicans, Brazilians
【小題2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The poll was conducted among 119 million people by Badoo. com.
B．Spanish are the funniest nationality in Europe.
C．That Germans are named the “l(fā)east funny” nationality is because of Mark Twain.
D．Some people think that British are funny while others think the opposite in the poll.
【小題3】Which can be the substitute of the word “derive” in the fourth paragraph?
A．a(chǎn)cquireB．sufferC．translateD．a(chǎn)ccomplish
【小題4】What is the author’s purpose of telling us a German joke?
A．The author wants to show that Germans are good at telling jokes.
B．The author wants to confirm what Mark Twain said.
C．The author wants to prove that Germans are not funny at all.
D．The author just wants to say that swallowing a sponge is no harm.
【小題5】It seems that the best title for this passage is ______.
A．The Funniest Nationality
B．A Global Poll Conducted by Badoo.Com
C．Americans Won the Funniest Nationality
D．Americans Voted “Funniest Nation”, Germans “Least Funny”

Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment，a bad cut can lead to permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention? We asked Dr. Martin Brown. Chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.   
First，the medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration(嚴(yán)重劃破，撕裂傷). Dr. Brown says the length is usually not as important as the depth. He says a long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. “If you have a short but deep laceration where there’s been a structure underneath that's been damaged a tendon，a nerve，a blood vessel,”says Martin，“it may, in fact，need professional attention. ”
Some injuries —like a fingertip that gets cut off might even require surgery to repair. That requires a specialist to either file(銼平) down the bone or reattach the fingertip. More often，filing down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is. Minor cuts usually produce what is known as venous(靜脈)bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. Dr. Brown says in most cases holding direct pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for four to five minutes should stop the bleeding. With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force，this may be a sign of arterial(動(dòng)脈)bleeding. This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.
Even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty. Dr Brown says cuts should be covered with a clean, dry bandage. 
【小題1】 What does the writer want to tell the readers in the first paragraph? 

A．Hospital emergency rooms always treat injured fingers.
B．A bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention.
C．Dr Martin Brown is in charge of Inova Alexandra Hospital.
D．It is important for us to be able to tell how serious a finger cut is.
【小題2】 According to the passage，_____________________.
A．a(chǎn) finger cut without treatment will certainly lead to permanent damage
B．the length of a cut on a finger is more important than the depth
C．a(chǎn) long but not very deep cut often doesn’t need professional attention
D．a(chǎn) short but deep laceration that’s been damaged need professional attention
【小題3】 The underlined word “reattach” in Para. 3 is closest in meaning to ________________.
A．repairB．rebuildC．reconstructD．reconnect
【小題4】 Which of the following statements in NOT true according to the passage?
A．How a wound bleeds can show us how serious the wound could be.
B．Venous bleeding will often stop when we put pressure on the wound.
C．Holding up the hand with a finger cut can reduce the loss of blood.
D．Arterial bleeding should get professional treatment as soon as possible.
【小題5】 The best title of this passage should be ______________________.
A．Hospital Emergency Treatments For Injured Fingers
B．When a Cut Finger Is More Serious Than It Might Seem
C．Serious Finger Cut That Requires Medical Attention
D．Keep Finger Cuts Clean to Prevent Serious Infection

Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife.

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
