However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in shower of rain, he might say, “It's a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. Another key to understand British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr.Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr.Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr.Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

When I first heard about the improv classes, I was torn.I feared getting on stage and performing in front of strangers.However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D．, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to improve my communication ability and gain confidence thinking on my feet. During our first class, we learned the key concept of improv: “yes, and”．If someone says that rhinos are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians.We don't question the logic; we say “yes” and continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.To do this effectively, we have to avoid second­guessing ourselves.Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions.The best improv happens when performers stay open to different possibilities.Over time, I started to enjoy our classes.I also became better at listening and communicating clearly in the moment. That training came in handy 6 months ago, when I was giving a seminar about my science research.An audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I had presented．Instead of getting perplexed, I used that approach, and it helped me find an appropriate answer. Last year, I used that approach when dealing with confusing data．Instead of getting discouraged, I kept exploring the data and ended up identifying a new type of cell—one that wasn't behaving as expected．If I hadn't stayed open to the possibility that the results were real, I would have missed out on the most exciting finding of my Ph.D．program so far.

A．Pretending to be clever. B．Understanding different scenes. C．Accepting unexpected possibilities. D．Asking others some questions. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“During our first class, we learned the key concept of improv…The best improv happens when performers stay open to different possibilities.(在我们的第一节课上， 我们学习了即兴表演的关键概念……最好的即兴表演是当表演者对不同的可能性保持开放的心态时。)”可知， 即兴表演的关键是对不同的可能性保持开放的心态。故选C。 答案　C 7．What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Amused．　　　　　 B． Confused． C．Surprised． D．Disappointed． 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前句“An audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I had presented．(一位听众提出了一个让我惊讶的问题， 而这个问题并不是基于我所提供的信息。)”和“I used that approach, and it helped me find an appropriate answer(我采用了这种方法， 它帮助我找到了一个合适的答案)”可知， 作者没有因为听众以外的问题而感到困惑。所以perplexed为“困惑的”之意， 与confused同义。故选B。 答案　B 8．What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A．He failed in exploring the new cell. B．He got stuck after finding unexpected data． C．Science research made him more confident.
