bad British fun hope pleasure power they total understand win |
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?

22、 In the future, we could all work and live in buildings with their own ecosystems (生态系统). They are made to produce more energy than they use.
Toby is an engineer from Europe. He has now made wonderful models, showing what this new building could look like.

23、 Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells reallife stories and sounds the way people really talk, as life becomes more complicated(复杂的)it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two lands of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South.

Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty four hours a day. English stars sing it in British and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were n【1】 plants. This is because plants can make food from air, w【2】 and sunlight. A【3】 and humans cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and o【4】 animals. So animals and humans need plants to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants a【5】 us.
If you look c【6】 at the plants around you, you will find that there are two k【7】 of plants: flowering planst and non-flowering (不开花的) plants. Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits p【8】 the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. B【9】 a few fruits have no seeds at all.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air.
