解析

试题分析：这篇短文是作者对自己的工作的自述。第一段中的作者是一个小丑，他去医院里帮助生病的孩子们；第二段中的作者是一个瑜伽老师，他让人们通过笑来保持身体的健康。两个作者都非常喜欢自己的工作。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第一段短文中I’ve been working as a professional clown(小丑）for nearly two years. Before that, I was an actor for nine years.和第二段短文中Before that, I was a dentist可知，两段材料中的作者都换了工作。故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第一段短文中I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh. What if I could help people, too?可知，作者说他换了工作，是因为他想在生活中做更多的事情，来让人们笑，去帮助人们。故选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据第二段短文中Sometimes I worked with famous people. It’s true that being rich can be stressful! Some famous people can be unpleasant at times可知，有时候作者会和一些名人一起工作，他们都很有压力，有的时候，名人也不开心。故选B。
小题4:词义猜测题。根据划线的单词所在的句子My job was very difficult and I used to feel fed up可知作者说他的工作很难，他过去经常感到厌烦。interested 感兴趣的；satisfied 感到满意的；disappointed 感到失望的；bored感到厌烦的。根据作者说的difficult，我们可以推测划线的短语的意思应该是感到厌烦的。故选D。
小题5:推理判断题。根据第一段短文中I try to encourage sick children in hospital to laugh and smile.以及第二段短文中Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class…But did you know that isn’t an excellent kind of exercise? You move your whole body when you laugh可知，这两个作者的工作都使人们开心，健康。故选D。

Not everyone has a chance to be a detective（侦探）, but I got one when I was 13 years old. It happened in 1994.
One afternoon, I was walking down the street when I saw my father’s new car. I expected(期望) to see my father in the driver’s seat. But to my surprise, I saw a young woman driving instead, “She has stolen my father’s car,” I thought. So I quickly stopped a taxi and got in. I said to the driver, “Follow that new car in front,” I told him why.
The taxi driver had a car phone, so I asked him to call the police. Soon we heard the sound of a police car. The police told the woman to stop the car using a loudspeaker. The taxi came to a stop, too. I got out right then and said to the woman, “This is not your car. It"s my father’s car.”
The woman smiled and said, “Oh. You’re Mr. Johnson’s son, right? I"ve seen your photo in your father’s office.”
Before I could say one word, the woman explained that she was my father’s new assistant（助手）. My father had asked her to take his computer to the shop to have it repaired. He lent her his car. After hearing this, I called my father and he told us what the woman said was right. The police and the taxi driver laughed. I felt very sorry.

People show their personalities in their clothes, their cars and their homes. Because we might choose some foods to “tell” people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet (供美食家享用的)foods, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. They know about the “better things in life”.
People can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians(素食主义者) often have more in common(相同) than just their diets. Their personalities might be the same too. For example, vegetarians in the US and Canada may be creative(创造性的) people, and they might not enjoy competitive(竞争性的) sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed (反对的) to wars(战争).
Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description(描述) of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.

The world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, is back on our screens.
The new BBC TV series of Sherlock was broadcast in the UK on Jan 1. But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.
Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures (冒险) one after another.
The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS.
People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration (灵感). Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.
Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible (隐形的). But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his intelligence (聪明才智). He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can"t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.
To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.
