二、阅读理解 （共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分）

　　In America, each of the states likes to promote itself with a slogan (口号). I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is '"Life Elevated". It's a nod to outdoor entertainment in the hill country, including the ski industry. I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt, great mountains and golden plains. The slogan there is ''Colorful Colorado". Years ago I lived in the "Peach State" of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is "Land of Enchantment (魔力)".

　　We never seemed to get away from dust in New Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty wind. She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it. The newcomer said, "Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesn't it?" "That's not dust, honey," the shop owner replied, "That's ENCHANTMENT". That made the problem more acceptable or at least can be live with. An escalator (自动扶梯) broke, so he posted a sign to warn customers. He chose not to use the traditional "Out of Order" or "Do Not Use" warnings. Instead, his sign read, "This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway". He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.

　　And in fact there are sonic things, like the weather, we can't change. All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them. I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation. Finding something amusing or enjoyable of difficulty, a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do. Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.
