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 clown(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?1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.2018but, choice, color, direct, fly, high, important, instead, it, many, quick, slowOne day, a father and his son went to a kite flying festival. When they arrived,there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When theson saw the sky filled with 1 kites in different shapes, he was excited andwanted to get one too. His father agreed to buy one for him. So they went to a kiteshop and 2 a beautiful one.With the string(线)in hand, the son started 3 the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” The father didn’t reply, but just cut the string off the reel(线轴). Suddenly, the kite began to go 4 , which made the son much happier.However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. 5 , it fell onto the grass. The son felt upset and asked, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher.Why did it fall down?”The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, 6 helping it stay in the sky, because the kite 7 can' t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the right 8 . When you cut the string, it could not support the kite.In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support us_ 9 . We can really grow up and2017An old saying goes, "When in Rome（罗马）, do as the Romans do." I learned the 1 of this when I studied in Russia.One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were 2 from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We had a warm chat until the waiter told me that we were being too loud. We turned our voices 3 . But this didn’t last long. The waiter came over to us two more 4 with the same message.How bad an impression（印象）we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s 5 and important for a host to make a 6 atmosphere（气氛）. However, in Russia and 7 countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our 8 , it’s very difficult to develop a new habit. Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “in Russia, people always take about a minute 9 over things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won’t leave anything necessary behind.”2016A boy thought that he was the most unhappy person in the world. He thought he was 1.________ because almost everything bad always happened to him. So he wanted to find the key to happiness. He walked a long way and finally came to a 2._______ palace. There, he met the king.After learning why the boy had come, the king advised that he should look around the palace and come back in two hours. “At the same time, I want you to 3.________this spoon with milk,” said the king. “Asyou walk around my palace, carry this spoon without spilling(溢出) the milk.”The boy kept his 4. _______on the spoon and began to walk around the fantastic palace. After two hours, he came back to the king. “Well,” asked the king. “Did you see the wonderful 5._______ in my dining hall？Did you see the 6._______ flowers in the garden? ” The boy felt sorry because he only paid attention to the milk.“Then go back and see the beauty of 7. ________ world,” said the king. This time the boy saw all of the 8.__________of art on the walls. He saw the greatest gardens and mountains all around. When he came back, he described everything he saw.“But where is the milk?” asked the king. Looking 9.________ at the spoon he held, the boy saw the milk was 10.________. “Well, the key to happiness is to see all the beauty of the world and also keep an20152014Look at the picture, what do you see? 1 , some people say it’s an old man,while others say it’s a young woman and an old 2 . It is a problem with manyanswers. Why? When you look at a problem from different views, you get differentanswers. Just turn it in your mind 3 bit, and you may see it in a completely newway.Some people only form an idea in their mind “A problem has only one answer, and allthe 4 are wrong.” Some even laugh at the different answers others come up with.Well, they’re wrong! If people only believed in one answer, we might still think theworld is square(方形的)! What’s one plus one? That’s easy, two! Right? Well, that’s oneright answer, but not the only answer. You might think of 11, or some 5characters like “二” or “十”! What’s a mom plus a dad? You might think of two people, or a man and a woman, or a whole family! So, even the 6 questions can have many answers. Of course, some problems do only have one answer. If each of the questions in a math test had 7 than one answer, it would be quite a problem for teachers 8 . Look at things in different ways, face your life with a 9 mind, and you’ll see a completely different world. After reading my article, if I ask you again: “What do you see in this picture?”, will you still give the same answer now? I’m sure this picture will be 10 to you.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.2013somebody, feel, day, successfully, lie, you, pleasant, discover, careful, lose, instruction, embarrassOne day, a student was talking with a professor (教授), who’s kind to those who waited on his 1.______________.As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes 2.___________ on the path (小路), which, they supposed, belonged to a poor man working in a nearby field (田地). He had neatly finished his 3.____________ work.The student came to a stop, and said to the professor, “Let’s play a hoax on the man: we hide his shoes, hide ourselves and wait to see how 4._____________ he would be when he finds that his shoes are 5.__________ .”“My friend,” answered the professor, “We should never enjoy ourselves while making the poor sad. Now you are rich, why not give yourself a much greater 6._____________ by helping the poor man? Put a coin into each shoe, hide ourselves and see what will happen to him.”The student did so, and they both places themselves behind the nearby trees.After finishing his work, the poor man came across the field to the path. Putting his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something unusual. He stopped 7._____________ what it was and he found the coin.He took out the coin, surprised, and looked at it 8.______________ for a while. Then he looked around, but 9._____________ was there. Then he started to put on the other shoe. He got much more surprises when he found the other coin.The poor man then looked up into the sky and shouted “Thank You!” The student stood there with tears(眼泪) in his eyes. “Now,” said the professor, “aren’t you more pleased than if you had played 10.__________ planned hoax?”Worried That People Are Laughing at You?Imagine this situation. You pass a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But 1 they start laughing. What would you think? Would you think they were laughing at something 2 that one of them said? Or, to be honest with yourself, would you think they were laughing at you? Yes, you.Being laughed at is a 3 fear.

It can 7 how they lead their lives.In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than ninety 8 from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true fear of being laughed at. Another purpose of the study was 9 the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures.

What made the students 1 was that all the cups on the table were 2 . Each of them took a cup and started 3 their own tea, looking at the 4 cups.The teacher said; "Do you notice your 5 ? You are all looking at each other's tea cups and 6of you even envy (羡慕) the 7 cups of others." Then he went on: "I put the different cups here on purpose! Life is like 8 tea. You all have the same thing in your cups— tea. And yet you can't 9 enjoy it in your envy of another's cup. You forget 10 your own life when you envy someone else's life. So now, taste your own tea!

Soon he found, in the valley bellow, the _10_of the town we were looking for. We at once pushed the car to the top of the hill. In less than a quarter2009An old man lived in a side street of a small town. Every day after supper, some children would play football in the street.
