B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
【答案解析】
本文通过一个小故事讲述了幽默的重要性。
1. C。细节题。根据who hit a traffic jam on his way to work可知,他迟到的原因是他碰上了交通堵塞。
2. B。主旨题。根据短文第 1 句是主题句 A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack — when a touch of humor might well enable us to win (在人生很多场激烈的争斗中,我们如果与人硬碰硬正面交锋的话,可能败得一塌糊涂。而幽默往往使我们反败为胜)和文章第 4 段第 1 句,可知整篇短文讲的是幽默的重要性。
3. A。词义猜测题。前面提到老板连辞退他的话都想好了,而Sam开的这个玩笑使人们哄堂大笑。而老板为了树立他的威严,仍然强忍住笑。故答案为A。
4. B。 推断题。根据 …shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job 我们可以了解到,Sam不止一次上班迟到了。

In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉) restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.
