Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure，affection，and friendliness，but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything.It is a time-proven fact that smile is a universal symbol that can be understood by the people of every nation in the world. One day while shopping，I met a clerk who seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store.On the outside stood a young man in his early twenties.His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in an instant a beautiful，brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.“Beautiful day，isn't it？” I remarked when passing.Then，obeying an impulse (冲动)，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，” I said softly.His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer.His companions—a Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby.“Carlos，he speaks no English，” the woman volunteered.“You want me to tell him something？”At that moment I felt changed.Carlos' smile had made a big person of me.My friendliness and good will toward all mankind ten feet tall.“Yes，” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，“please tell him I said，‘Thank you！’”“Thank you？” the woman seemed slightly confused.I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave.“Just tell him that，”I insisted.“He'll understand，I am sure！” Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on，I was conscious of the power of smile，and I practiced the art diligently.

British comedy，for example，draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy.The Office is a TV show，famous for its dry humor.The main character，David Brent，is a foolish man，and the show's comedy comes from his delusions．For example，he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him. Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain.In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night，the character Malvolio is a steward whom people play tricks on.The audience will laugh away，although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual(个体). This side of British humor is reflected in friendships as well.At university，my friends and I would always laugh at one another.I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦)quite upsetting.She didn't realize that in Britain，the better friends you are with someone，the more you laugh at them.This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing，but our strange humor played a big part in British history.In the Second World War，along with a stiff upper lip，the British got through it by laughing.What else was there to do? There is a saying in English: “Laugh，and the world laughs with you; weep，and you weep alone.” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm，you may feel like crying，but it's best to just laugh it off! [语篇解读]　本文主要介绍了英式幽默在文化和生活中的体现，以及我们应该如何回应这种幽默。 5．How is British humor different from other types? A．It often concerns human nature. B．It is often surprising and negative. C．It is often about the bad things in life. D．It often makes people feel at a loss. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Most people think humor is about happy things，but for the British，the opposite is true.”可知，大多数人认为幽默是关于开心的事情，但对英国人来说恰恰相反，故选C。 答案　C 6．What does the underlined word “delusions” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Strong abilities. B．Kind gestures. C．Deep doubts. D．False ideas. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后所举的例子可知，David Brent认为每个人都喜欢他，但观众可以看出，每个人都讨厌他，故此处表示他的“错觉”，故选D。 答案　D 7．Why is Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night mentioned? A．To show one of the best examples of British comedy. B．To praise Shakespeare for his representative works. C．To prove Britain's tradition of laughing at stupid characters. D．To stress the difficulty of getting people to accept British comedy. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain.In Shakespeare's play...play tricks on.”可知，本段主要说明观众嘲笑愚蠢的人物在英国是一个古老的传统，接下来以莎士比亚的作品为例来证明这个观点，故选C。 答案　C 8．How should people react to British sarcasm according to the author? A．Learn from it. B．Don't take it seriously. C．Forget about the upsetting things. D．Be careful not to make stupid mistakes. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm，you may feel like crying，but it's best to just laugh it off！” 可知，对于英国人的挖苦嘲讽，人们一笑置之即可，不必太当真。 答案　B Ⅱ.完形填空 I woke up in a good mood but there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear.A billion thoughts 1 through my brain.It was my first day of high school in a new state; first 2 are everything，and it was necessary to impress the people who I'd spend the next four years with.
