[能力提升题]

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2022·泊头期末)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.
