24、Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British stereotypes( 刻板印象)” funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude l5-year-old girl cursing(骂) at her teachers. But back home, British people were laughing, thinking, “Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!”

A laugh is a laugh in any language, but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language, but humor does not always translate.

Take The Office as an example. This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent, the boss of the UK office, is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldn’t be too mean.”

Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “Britons cruelly make fun of people we like or dislike... and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the Americans and British sense of humor are because of “our upbringing.”

“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,” he wrote. “Britons are told, ‘It won’t happen for you’.”

Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode. Even if they’re not perfect, the characters “learn a lesson” for the future.

But in David Brent’s office and in lots of UK comedies the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems truer to life and so much funnier.

It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-talk show, for example.

Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To show that British humor is not funny at all.

B．To show that American people don’t understand British people.

C．To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.

D．To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.

【2】What does the underlined word “upbringing” in Paragraph4 mean?

A．treatment and education from childhood

B．the way in which a person is taught to be humorous

C．inborn talent in making fun of people

D．the way in which a person improves himself

【3】What can we infer from the article?

A．Britons do not like to make fun of others.

B．British comedy often has a moral message.

C．American people are brought up to be more positive.

D．Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.

【4】What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?

A．They are slight differences that can be ignored.

B．They can partly show cultural differences.

C．They show stereotypes of different cultures.

D．They help people communicate with each other.

25、

Christmas is for giving and sharing, for brightly covered gifts. But, mostly Christmas is for love. I had not believed this until a boy gave me a special gift one Christmas.

Without parents, Brian lived with his mean aunt. I had not noticed him particularly until he began to help clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt. During those hours, Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.

As Christmas came near, however, Brian didn't stay after school. I looked forward to his coming. One afternoon, I stopped him and told him how I had missed him. I saw his eyes lit up. I explained how he had been my best helper and this made him more excited. "I was making you a surprise. It's for Christmas." He became embarrassed and ran away.

Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Brian entered the room with his hands hiding something behind. "I have a present for you." He held out his hands, and a tiny box was lying there.

"It's beautiful, Brian. Let's see what's in it."

"Oh, you can't see what's in it," he said, "and you can't touch it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights and safe when you're all alone."

I looked into the empty box. "Brian, what will make me feel so good?"

"It's love, and mother always said it's best when you give it away."

Yes, Christmas is for celebrations, songs, and gifts. But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.

【1】What is Brian like?

A.He is gentle. B.He is mean. C.He is helpful.

【2】Why do you think Brian stopped helping his teacher?

A.Because he felt too tired to do that.

B.Because his teacher didn't need his help.

C.Because he might be punished by his aunt.

【3】What does the underlined part "his eyes lit up" might mean?

A.He felt embarrassed. B.He became happy. C.He fell sick.

【4】According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The writer values the present from Brian.

B.Brian's mother had little influence on him.

C.Brian was used to spreading love at Christmas.

【5】What's the best title for the story?

A.Giving Is Receiving B.Rules of Gift Giving C.Christmas Is for Love
