Life is a great joke most of the time.However, the problem is that most people treat this joke very seriously.Life is given to us for enjoying and having fun，while we all see lots of unhappiness around us.Most of this unhappiness is our creation.We make most mistakes in life because of our greed(貪婪).However, we miss many beautiful moments of life.
Life is full of many exciting things.They offer a great enjoyment to all of us.We were all born in this world with no thoughts and desires(欲望) and a child only wants to enjoy his life.However, we expected too much from childhood.In this way a circle of expectations start moving in the life of every person.The child finds it difficult to go with the changing world and he ends up as an unhappy person.
Enjoying life is a great art，but very few people know on this earth.For enjoying life，a person needs a clear understanding of life from all the common things.We all know many people are unhappy though they live in big houses.But some beggars(乞丐) are always happy though they don't have anything.This is a strange reality(現實) of life.Life looks strange to people who do not understand it and it becomes a great joke and excitement for those who master it.
Main idea： __1__ life is a great art. Paragraph 1 Life is a great joke most of the time, so we can't treat it very __2__．
Some people make most mistakes in life because of their __3__．
Paragraph 2 The writer gives an example of a child to show how a person becomes __4__．
Paragraph 3 We can infer that __5__ is a view(看法，態度) of life.

2．表示一個動作或狀態在過去某時之前已經開始，一直延續到這一過去時間，而且到那時還未結束，仍有繼續下去的可能性。
過去的過去
三、一些使用過去完成時的常見情況
1．由by(在某時前，到某時)構成的短語表示過去的時間時，句子常用過去完成時。如：
By ten o'clock yesterday evening, she had finished her homework.
在昨晚10點以前，她已經完成了她的作業。
2．由by the time(在……以前)和when/before引導的時間狀語從句謂語動詞使用了一般過去時，而主句的動作發生在從句動作之前，此時主句用過去完成時。如：
By the time I got home, my father had left for New York.
我回到家時，爸爸已經出發去紐約了。
Ann had been at the bus stop for 20 minutes when a bus finally came.
當公交車最后到來的時候，安已經在公交站等了20分鐘了。

在我能夠阻止蒂姆之前，他已經沖出了房門。
3．在含有賓語從句的復合句中，主句使用了一般過去時，而從句的動作發生在主句動作之前，此時從句用過去完成時。如：
The Smiths were glad to know that their son had won the competition.
史密斯夫婦得知兒子贏得比賽(之后)，他們很開心。
【注意】現在完成時與過去完成時的區別
現在完成時表示的動作發生在說話之前某個沒有明確說出的過去時間，側重過去發生的動作對現在產生的影響或造成的結果，與現在有關；過去完成時的動作發生在“過去的過去”，它是一個相對的時態，不能離開過去的時間而獨立存在。如：
We have lived here for ten years.
我們在這里居住了10年了。
We had lived here for ten years when we had to move last year.
在我們去年搬家之前，我們在這里居住了10年了。

二、As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound.當我和其他辦公室職員一起排隊等候時，我聽到一聲巨響。
as、when與while的用法
as 引導時間狀語從句時，多用于平行結構，表示兩個動作同時發生，一個主語同時進行兩個動作或者一種狀態隨另一種狀態的變化而變化等。
when 從句中既可用延續性動詞，又可用非延續性動詞；從句中的動作既可和主句的動作同時發生，又可在主句的動作之前或之后發生。
while 它強調主句的動作與從句的動作同時發生或主句的動作發生在從句的動作過程中，從句的謂語必須是延續性動詞。

2．in disbelief意為“不相信地；疑惑地；懷疑地”。
3．above、over與on的用法
單詞 含義 兩物體之間的關系 反義詞
above 在……上面 不接觸，不強調垂直 below

Three Centuries of Hoaxes
A Thinking Machine
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利)built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well.It delighted(使高興)people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone it played, including famous figures like French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and scientist and inventor Benjamin Franklin.For decades, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine.There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked.About 85 years later, the secret was finally revealed.There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time…who was obviously very good at playing chess!
Zoo Escape(逃脫)
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a shocking story on its front page.It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city.It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people hurt.It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid the danger.Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said.If only they had read the final words of the article, which said: “Not one word of it is true.Not a single act described has taken place.” It was all just a hoax.The story was made up by Thomas Connery, an editor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
Rosie the Runner
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston Marathon(馬拉松)was 23 year old Rosie Ruiz.However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people started to become suspicious(懷疑的).She didn't seem to be tired at all.Furthermore, none of the other runners remembered seeing her, and her picture never appeared in photos or TV broadcasts of the race.Later, several people said that they had seen her join the race only at the end.It turned out she had run only half a mile (about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest of the race! Her prize was taken away, of course.

Today's teens have grown up online.__1__ They do homework online.And surely they get their news online.But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online.
Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically(批判性地) about online information and recognize a fake(假的) news story.
His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning(推理) at Stanford University.__2__ Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in “.org”．
