27、Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour for thousands of years. There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval (中世纪的)writings are filled with jokes. While these same jokes might not be as funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on sensitive or emotive issues.
Closer to modern times, Mark Twain, the American writer, is remembered for his witty(风趣的)words in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour, Twain went into a barber’s. The barber, not recognizing him, told him that if he wanted to go to the event he would have to stand, as there were no seats left in the theatre. Twain’s response was, “That’s just my luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures! ”
Like Twain, Lin Yutang, was also noted for his unique brand of humour. Once, having been invited to dinner at a university, he was put on the spot when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech. Thinking on his feet, Lin started to tell a story about a cruel Roman emperor who tried to feed a man to wild animals, first a lion, then a tiger. Each time the man whispered something in the car, after which the animal shook its head and walked away unhappily. “What did you say to my animals?” said the emperor, astonished. “I told them they had to make a speech after eating me for dinner.” Lin’s audience roared with laughter. With this little joke, Lin was able to make people laugh, while gently telling off the president.
Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isn’t just about laughter, but a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate the world.

C.Lin was willing to give a speech.
D.Lin was a bit angry with the president.
28、Hey,you—look up! Our iPhone addictions(瘾)are destroying public space and damaging the normal social communication. The host collects phones at the door of the dinner party. At a law firm,partners keep a“no-mobile phone”policy at meetings. Each day,a good number of people gather outside NewYork’s high schools, offering, for a small price, to store students’ mobile phones during the day. In public, it’s hard to think of a place beyond the darkness of the movie theater where phone use isn’t allowed. In truly public space-on sidewalks,in parks,on buses and on trains—we move with the face down, our phones shine like flashlights,
Consider the case of a recent murder on a San Francisco train. On Sept.23,in a crowded car, a man pulled a gun from his jacket. He raised the gun,pointing it across the aisle. He drew it out several more times, once using the hand holding the gun to wipe his nose. Dozens of passengers stood and sat just feet away—but none reacted. Their eyes,focused on smartphones, didn’t lift until the gunman fired a bulletin into the back of a San Francisco State student getting off the train.
There are thousands of similar stories that together sound the alarm for a new understanding of public space. In Japan,more than a dozen people fall off railway platforms while looking at their phones each year. Some experts there have called for bans on texting. Besides,many train station notices remind people to look where they are going,and even mobile phone companies have begun to educate users about the dangers of looking at a phone while walking.
The development of information technology is separating us from our surroundings. The urban theorist Malcolm McCullough writes“Closed in cars, often in headphones,seldom in places where they can communicate in person seldom choosing face-to-face meetings,moden citzens escaped from public life.

B.Many people were aware of the murderer before he shot.
C.It is no good ignoring other people around when taking trains.
D.Smartphone addictions have changed the normal social communication.
【3】How did the author develop the passage?

A cheerful taxi driver says, “No problem. Map sellers are everywhere!” When the taxi stops, a fellow _________ with a thin folded sheet and says: “Ten dollars”.
Ten dollars! With absolute _________, I inform him, “That’s too much.” The map man leaves. I begin walking, certain I’ll find a (an) _________ star map soon.

Ten dollars _________. Forget it. My son will _________.
That night, I call my wife. “Did you get one of those maps to the stars? He’s been talking about _________ else.”

Sure. Trust this guy? I might as well throw cash onto the freeway. But exiting the taxi, I __________ my last chance. I hand him $13 and my business card. Three weeks pass. I’ve __________ on the star map. My son has stopped mentioning it.
Then one afternoon, sticking out from under piles of flyers, there it is: a big white envelope. There is a small note. I can hardly read it, __________ I make out a few phrases — “forgive __________,” “taxi’s been down” and, finally, “here’s map for your son.” There’s no return address. It’s signed, “kind regards, M.”
I hold the note in my hand, __________ what my son said to me when I got back from Los Angeles.
“Did you meet any __________, Dad?” he asked.
