Fire Capt. Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.
While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn’t get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.
Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.
The girl’s mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters’ nails, and took some photos.
The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.
Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren’t part of the job.
After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to: the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it. 24. Why was the 2-year-old girl frightened?
A. She was caught in an accident. B. Her mother was badly injured. C. Her nails were hurt by the bottles. D. She was afraid of seeing firefighters. 25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “chuckled” in Paragraph 4?
A. Sighed. B. Shouted. C. Laughed. D. Hugged. 26. Which can best describe what the two firefighters did?
A. Generous. B. Comforting. C. Humorous. D. Courageous. 27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To ask us to learn to calm down in time of danger. B. To speak highly of the warm-hearted firefighters. C. To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails.
D. To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.
C
While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon（现象）seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people oppose (反对) a new verb because they refuse to accept what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.
In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.
28. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?
A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians. B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults. C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century. D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.
29.What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?
A. Predictable. B. Practicable. C. Approaching. 30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？ B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying? C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb? D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing?
D. Impossible.

How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive
Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it？ 31 And it’s okay — we should even have a laugh about them.
● Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are. You may feel bad about yourself because of past misfortune. However, it’s normal to be imperfect. What’s important is that you should be honest with yourself about who you are. 32 You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without self- acceptance.
● Laughing at yourself helps increase your confidence. When you’re able to stay optimistic and laugh at yourself, you are likely to be more successful in life. 33 More importantly, it helps you realize your own weaknesses, so you know which areas to do better in.
● 34 Laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn’t intend to, while laughing at yourself does not. You might even bring a smile to their faces. Don’t worry about losing respect from others, because people actually appreciate it when you laugh at yourself. Laughing at yourself shows that you have the courage to do so and you’re being real about your imperfections, making people think you are likeable.
Just remember that humans all make mistakes. So instead of blaming yourself, try to think of your mistakes, in a positive way and accept yourself just as you are. 35 A. Laughing at yourself makes you popular. B. Accept yourself despite your imperfections. C. You should try to understand yourself better.
D. Chances are that we all have these kinds of experiences. E. Laughing at yourself changes an ideal image of yourself. F. Learn to laugh at yourself and you will be more attractive.
