【参考译文】 哪里才是汉堡包的真正的家？
我们在汉堡包中看到的牛肉，切碎的牛肉，可能是800多年前蒙古人发明的，但是，是谁吧牛肉放在两片面包之间，并取名为汉堡包的呢？美国的三个城市都宣称自己最早发明了这种美国人最喜爱的食物。
一些人说来自雅典的弗莱彻?戴维斯发明了汉堡，他被人们叫做“老戴夫“，早在19世纪80年代，他就在他的酒吧中卖这种碎牛肉三明治。几年后，他们说一群德国人把老戴夫的三明治称作”汉堡包“，因为来自德国汉堡市人吃了这种牛肉三明治。
其他人相信汉堡包来自于美国的另一个城市。巧合的是，这个城市也叫汉堡。1885年，曼彻斯兄弟在集市上买猪肉三明治，但当没有猪肉时，它们用碎牛肉代替猪肉，而且给它取个新名字“汉堡包“。
第三个汉堡包的疑似发明者是来自西摩的查理?纳格林，也以“汉堡查理“而著名。他说在1885年他发明了世界上的第一个汉堡。现在西摩每年都庆祝汉堡的发明。在1989年，它成了世界上最大汉堡包之家—这个汉堡包重达2500千克以上。 C
阅读下面短文，按要求完成各项任务。（共7分） The power of humor
An old saying goes ”Laughter is the best medicine.” It?s true that laughter is really good for our health. So, the next time you?re feeling stressed, try to laugh a lot, ①develop a sense of humor and watch funny fi lms.
The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do ”silly” things to make themselves and others laugh. Examples of silly things you can do are:
▲ Invite friends round to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the films—those with the most comfortable chairs pay more—and for food and drinks.
▲ Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the show to the rest of the school.
▲ Have a red nose party at your house. All your friends come dressed in
red—including red nose—and you serve red food and drinks. If they don?t wear red, they have to pay a fine.
▲ Get the students in your school to make funny sculptures(雕塑)using all kinds of materials. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition and part of the money goes to Comic Relief.
The organization has helped people for more than 20 years. And how much have they collected since the first Red Nose Day? Over￡600 million!② . In New Zealand, for example, people have made big red noses which they put on the front of cars and even buildings.

【参考译文】 幽默的力量
一句古语说“开怀大笑是最好的药“。诚然，笑确实有益于我们的健康。所以，下次你感到压力时，尝试多笑、养成幽默感、欣赏滑稽电影。
喜剧公益慈善募捐会，一个旨在帮助需要帮助的人们的组织，利用大笑来筹款。每个两年的春天，许多英国人带上红鼻子，愚弄自己而且做傻事来使他们自己和他人大笑。例如，可以做的傻事有如下四个：
邀请朋友到你家观看滑稽电影。他们必须付费才能看电影，那些坐着最舒服椅子的要多付费，而且食物和饮料也要收费。
在学校举办才艺表演，要求你的朋友和老师唱歌、跳舞或者讲笑话。学校的学生观看表演则要买票。
在你的家里举办红鼻子晚会。你的朋友来参加晚会都要穿红色衣服，包括红鼻子，而且你要用红色食品和饮料招待朋友。如果他们没有穿红色衣服，就要罚款。
让同学们使用各种材料制作滑稽的雕塑。出售你的红鼻子日展览的门票，部分的收入属于喜剧救济会。
