Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in 【1】.

To us British people, 【2】 and important people often cause laughter. It’s not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes 【3】 too seriously.

We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated 【4】. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even 【5】. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and 【6】 at last.

The fact that we laugh when other people might feel 【7】 is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience, we might say, “Not very 【8】.” And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, “It’s a bit windy today” or “There is a tiny problem.” when something has gone 【9】 wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.

Another thing that can make it difficult 【10】 British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we’re making a joke.

Do you think the British sense of humor is special?

21、   Dear editor,

My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were in class, Tom asked me a question. But my English teacher thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me unfair. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don't like her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?

Yours, Mike

Dear Mike,

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard.

And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. Of course, you should know that what your teacher did was good for you. When you are not trying as hard as you can, she has to stop it and try to help you. Wish you have a better life!

22、In life, everyone once struggles for a dream, whether it’s successful or not. I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school, I saw on a website that China’s Got Talent’s mass-election(海选) for the best singers was going on. I was very excited and decided to go and try out. But it wasn’t as easy as I had thought. When I got there, I saw at least 100 people already waiting in line. My hands started to sweat and shake as my turn got close. I got up and started singing, but I sang so badly that I stopped before I even finished the song. Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my friends and walked home crying. I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again.

However, after about a year, that terrible experience became a funny memory. I realized that I didn’t need to care about losing that dream, because I made a new and more realistic one. I’m good at English, as well as other subjects. I made it my goal to get accepted into Columbia University. Columbia is hard to get into, and about 1,300 students from all over the world are accepted every year. Though it is hard to get into, I think my dream will come true someday by working hard!

23、Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the color of dust. She did not like her ugly color. She was attracted by the color of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the color of that beautiful lake very much.

Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.

Now Coyote was a trickster (骗子) —and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended (伪装) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.

Convinced (确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped (滑到) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull color of dust to this very day.

【1】How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?

A．Three times.

B．Four times.

C．Five times.

D．Six times.

【2】Why was Coyote a trickster?

A．He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.

B．He wanted to eat B1uebird but pretended to be curious.

C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.

D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.

【3】Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?

A．To the lake.

B．To the tree.

C．To the cave.

D．To the hill.

【4】Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?

A．Because his fur had the dull color of dust.

B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.

C．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.

D．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.

【5】What words does the writer use to help you imagine the color blue?

A．Sky, lake, mountains.

B．Bird, coyote, storm.

C．Flapped, climbed, bathed.

D．Fur, feathers, dust.
