The Importance of Humour
1Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour① for thousands of years.There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece,and medieval②writings are filled with③ 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 on④ sensitive or emotive⑤issues⑥.[1]
[1]While引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然,尽管”;在该状语从句中又包含一个as引导的比较状语从句;that humour...issues为that引导的宾语从句,其中not only...but also...连接并列谓语。
2Closer to modern times,someone who is remembered for⑦ his ability to combine humour with⑧ more serious messages is American writer,Mark Twain.Twain's particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous⑨.For example,in his classic⑩ novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,he famously says,“Writing is easy.All you have to do is cross out⑪ the wrong words.”[2]But he is equally well known for his witty remarks⑫in his everyday interactions⑬ with people.For instance,while on a lecturing tour of the United States,[3]Twain went into a barber's⑭ shop to get a haircut and a shave⑮.The barber,not recognising⑯ him,[4]asked if he had a ticket to the lecture.When
学生用书第13页
Twain replied that he didn't,the barber told him that if he wanted to go to the event⑰ he would have to stand,as there were no seats left in the theatre.[5]Twain's response⑱ was,“That's just my luck⑲.I always have to stand when that fellow⑳lectures㉑!”
[2]该句中不定代词All作主语;“you have to do”是省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰先行词All。由于修饰主语的定语从句中含有实义动词do,所以作表语的动词不定式to cross out可省略不定式符号to。
[3]此处是“连词+介词短语”结构,可看作是时间状语从句while he was on a lecturing tour of the United States的省略形式。while在此意为“在……期间”。
[4]动词-ing形式短语not recognising him作后置定语,修饰The barber。
[5]本句结构分析如下:that引导的宾语从句,作动词told的直接宾语;When引导时间状语从句;if引导条件状语从句;as引导原因状语从句。
3Like Twain,but on the other side of the world,Lin Yutang was soon to become famous for his unique brand㉒ of humour.[6]A well-known bilingual㉓ writer,Lin brought the concept㉔of humour to modern Chinese literature.In 1924,he creatively borrowed“youmo” from Ancient Chinese as the translation for the English word “humour”.“Youmo” is still being used in this way today.
[6]动词不定式短语“to become...humour”作表语,构成“be to do”结构,表示注定要发生的事情。
4Lin's quick wit helped make him famous as a master㉕of humour.Once,having been invited to dinner at a university,[7]he was put on the spot㉖ when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech.Thinking on his feet㉗,[8]Lin started to tell a story about a cruel㉘Roman emperor who tried to feed a man to wild animals.First came a lion.[9]The man whispered㉙ something in the lion's ear, after which the lion shook its head and walked away unhappily.[10]Then along came a tiger.Again,the man whispered in the tiger's ear.The tiger
学生用书第14页
looked shocked and hurried away㉚.“What did you say to my animals?”said the emperor,astonished㉛.[11]“I told them they had to make a speech after eating me for dinner.” Lin's audience roared㉜ with laughter.With this little joke,Lin was able to make people laugh,while gently㉝telling off㉞ the president.[12]
[7]动词-ing形式短语“having been invited...university”作时间状语,表示被邀请吃晚饭的动作发生在被邀请作演讲之前。
[8]动词-ing形式短语“Thinking on his feet”在此作状语。
[9]“First came a lion”和后文中的“Then along came a tiger”都是全部倒装句。
[10]此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。
[11]形容词astonished在此作伴随状语,表示主语the emperor的状态。
[12]此处是“连词+动词-ing形式”结构,可看作是时间状语从句while he was gently telling off the president的省略形式。while在此意为“与……同时”。
5Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isn't just about laughter,but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate㉟ the world.Lin even created an equation㊱to explain this concept:Reality+Dreams +Humour=Wisdom㊲.Living and working with others[13]can sometimes be complicated㊳,and humour makes this easier.Sharing jokes and laughing together can bring individuals and even communities together.Indeed,some may argue that our need for humour is almost as great as our need for water and air.In the words of㊴Mark Twain,“Humor is mankind's greatest blessing”.
[13]此处是动词-ing形式短语作主语。

幽默的重要性
几千年来,幽默一直是人类行为的重要组成部分。古希腊的文稿中就有喜剧,中世纪的作品中也充满了笑话。虽然这些同样的笑话现在对我们来说可能不像当时那么有趣,但它们的作者知道幽默不仅可以娱乐,还可以为敏感或情感问题提供新的视角。
近现代时期,有一个人能将幽默和更严肃的信息相结合并因此为人们所铭记,这个人就是美国作家马克·吐温。马克·吐温独特的写作风格有趣而诙谐。例如,在他的经典小说《汤姆·索亚历险记》中,他有句名言:“写作很容易。你所要做的就是删去错误的单词。”但他也因日常人际交往中的风趣言辞而闻名。例如,在一次美国巡回演讲时,马
学生用书第15页
克·吐温到一家理发店理发和刮胡子。理发师不认识他,问他有没有讲座的票。当马克·吐温回答说没有时,理发师告诉他,如果他想去参加这个活动,他就得站着,因为剧院里已经没有余座了。马克·吐温回答道:“我总是这样倒霉。当那个家伙开讲座时,我总是站着!”
在世界的另一边,像马克·吐温一样,林语堂将很快因其独具一格的幽默而出名。作为一名著名的双语作家,林语堂将幽默的概念引入现代中国文学。1924年,他创造性地从古代汉语中借“幽默”一词作为英语单词“humour”的翻译。现在人们仍然这样使用“幽默”。
林语堂的才思敏捷助他成了有名的幽默大师。有一次,他应邀到一所大学吃晚饭,校长突然发难,请他作一个演讲。思维敏捷的林语堂开始讲述一个残忍的罗马皇帝试图将一个人喂给野生动物的故事。首先来的是一头狮子。那人对狮子耳语了几句,之后,这头狮子摇了摇头便不高兴地走开了。接着来了一只老虎。那人又对老虎耳语了几句。老虎看起来很震惊,赶紧走开了。“你对我的动物说了什么?”皇帝惊讶地说。“我告诉它们晚饭吃了我之后,它们得做个演讲。”林语堂的听众放声大笑。林语堂用这个小笑话让人们开怀大笑,同时也委婉地责怪了那位校长。
马克·吐温和林语堂都明白幽默不仅仅是笑,而是一种生活方式和一种可以用来照亮世界的工具。林语堂甚至创造了一个等式来解释这个概念:现实+梦想+幽默=智慧。与他人一起生活和工作有时会很难,而幽默使其变得更容易。分享笑话并一起欢笑可以把个人甚至团体团结起来。事实上,有些人可能论证说,我们对幽默的需求几乎与对水和空气的需求一样重要。用马克·吐温的话说就是:“幽默是人类最大的福祉”。

Cody looked over the sand dunes (沙丘) of North Carolina's Outer Banks, the Atlantic Ocean shining in the distance. The warm ocean wind swept across his face as he held the harness (降落伞背带) of the hang glider(悬挂式滑翔机). He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“How are you feeling? Ready?” Cody's sister Briana asked him. Cody didn't know how to interact with Briana, who was eight years older than him. But every time Briana visited from college, she followed him to his tennis lessons and took him to climb mountains. But Briana had never taken him to try hang gliding. Cody knew she loved it — she had finally become a certified (持有证书的)instructor last month. So when she offered to take him, Cody jumped at the chance.
Now Cody was fixed onto what was just a big kite, standing near the edge of a giant dune. Cody's brain was sounding the alarm. The confidence Cody had felt back at the training facility had all but disappeared. Briana looked over at him knowingly. “Before my first flight, I almost backed out more times than I can count,” she said. “You just have to believe in yourself.”
Cody took another deep breath and nodded. “Now start walking toward the edge,” directed Briana. Cody pushed himself forward. “Walk, walk, walk ... now run, run, run, RUN!” Briana coached.
Cody ran. He ran right off the edge of the tall dune. He was airborne! What an amazing feeling! Cody gently pushed the bar forward to increase his speed, just as Briana had shown him. Then Cody saw that he was rapidly approaching the ground! He remembered to pull the bar back at the end to slow himself down, but it was too late for a smooth, on-foot landing. Cody landed on his knees, leaving him face down.
“Are you okay?” Briana said, pulling Cody upright in his harness. Cody was definitely okay. Smiling from ear to ear, he said, “Let's go again!” He was already looking forward to his future in flight, with his sister by his side.

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That's something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it's part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accepted the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you're going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.

1.答案:suggestions
解析:考查名词的单复数。分析句子可知,空处被those修饰,作介词of的宾语,因此应用名词复数形式。故填suggestions。
2.答案:it
解析:考查代词。根据空前的“makes”和空后的“easy for people to stop complaining”可推知,此处用固定句型“make it+形容词+for sb to do sth”,意为“让做某事对于某人来说……”,故填it。
3.答案:which
解析:考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指前面的句子,从句中缺少主语,因此应用关系代词which。故填which。
4.答案:from
解析:考查介词。根据空前的“preventing anxious people”和空后的“feeling sad”可知,此处用固定短语prevent sb from doing sth,意为“防止某人做某事”,故填from。
5.答案:earlier
解析:考查副词的比较级。空前的“much”常用于修饰比较级,此处表示相对于当前更早的时间,因此空处应用early的比较级形式。故填earlier。
6.答案:the
解析:考查冠词。结合语境可知,空处表示特指,指来自实验中研究者的特定要求,因此空处应用定冠词。故填the。
7.答案:were found
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,空处作句子的谓语,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,find 和主语Those之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是复数概念。故填were found。
8.答案:directly
解析:考查词性转换。分析句子可知,空处修饰动词described,应用副词形式。故填directly。
9.答案:to control
解析:考查非谓语动词。名词ability后通常跟不定式作后置定语,表示“……的能力”,因此空处应用control的不定式形式。故填to control。
10.答案:making
