Scientists have discovered the world' s funniest joke! Dr Wiseman, from Oxford University in Britain, created a website with jokes on it. He then asked people to rate (定级) the jokes from I ( "not very funny") to 5 (" very funny"). People could also tell their own jokes. At the end of one year, Wiseman had two million ratings and 40,000 jokes from around the world.
Why study jokes? Dr Wiseman thinks humor can tell us a lot about people. In Wiseman' s experiment, people from different countries did think different jokes were funny. For example, Europeans rated jokes about serious topic like death "very funny". North Americans laughed most at jokes that made fun of people. So, what was the world's funniest joke?
Two men are hunting (打猎). Suddenly, one man falls down and isn't moving. The other man calls for help on his mobile phone. "Help! " the man says, "I think my friend is dead!" "I can help you, "says the woman on the phone. "First, are you sure your friend is dead?" It's quiet for a minute. Then the woman hears a gunshot (枪响声). The man returns to the phone, "Yes, he is dead. Now what?"
In Dr Wiseman's experiment, people from a number of countries, old and young, men and women, all thought this joke was very funny. What about you?

How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash(现金)，or do you like to pay by credit card (信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.
Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s. At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(顾客). Unlike today's credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn't pay for something a little at a time.
In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company¬ — Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn't have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card.
In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards. The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7.6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.
58. What can we know about the earlier credit cards from the passage?
A. They could be used everywhere. B. Customers had to pay for things in full.
C. They were very popular before the 1920s. D. Everyone could get this kind of credit card.
59. The underlined word "issued" here probably means "_______ " .
A showed B. took C. borrowed D. provided
60. This passage is mainly about ________________________.
A. part of the development of credit cards
B. how to use cash
C. the number of people who use credit cards in the world
D. how credit cards help businessmen

八、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese. Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas-Chinese. 83These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the U.S., England or Canada, but they have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957. 84Chinese people love him, although he is an American citizen.
(一)根据短文内容回答下列问题。
81. What does “ABC” mean in this passage?
82. Why Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons”?

Dear schoolmates,
It’s known to us all that money can do lots of things. Nowadays, our country is not very rich, and it’s not easy for our parents to make money. Let’s do something to help them.
As students, we should try our best to save money. First, we had better ride a bike to school rather than take a taxi. Second, we can bring lunch to school instead of buying snacks. Third, we hope everyone wears clean school uniforms rather than wear expensive clothes. Fourth, we could drink water as much as possible instead of soft drinks. Fifth, we should turn off lights when we leave the rooms.
In a word, we should do many more things, so that we could save more money for our parents.
