Unit 1 Developing Ideas 1 Read the short introductions to Mark Twain and Lin Yutang and share what else you know about them with the class. Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American writer, humorist, lecturer and adventurer, who acquired international fame for his travel narratives（旅行叙事）, in particular The Innocents Abroad《傻瓜国外旅行记》, and for his adventure stories of boyhood, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer《汤姆·索亚历险记》 and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》. He is regarded as one of North America’s best and most beloved（钟爱的） writers due to his wit and satire (讽刺). Lin Yutang (1895-1976) was a Chinese writer, translator, linguist, philosopher（哲学家） and inventor. His informal but sophisticated style of writing, in both Chinese and English, made him one of the most influential writers of his generation. His most famous works include My Country and My People 《吾国与吾民》 and The importance of Living 《生活的艺术》. He’s also known as a wise and witty populariser（普及者） of Chinese philosophy and the Chinese way of life. Mark Twain (1835-1910) Lin Yutang (1895-1976) Two famous writers showing great humour in their works and their daily life 4 The Importance of Humour Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour for thousands of years. There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval 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. The title indictes the main topic of the whole passage. The first sentence serves as the main idea of para.1. The last sentence is used to introduce the next paragraph. 充满 对...有新的了解 尽管 5 Closer to modern times, someone who is remembered for his ability to combine humour with more serious messages is American writer, Mark Twain. Twain's particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous. For example, in his classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sauyer, he famously says, "Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words." But he is equally well known for his witty remarks in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour of the United States, Twain went into a barber's shop to get a haircut and a shave. The barber, not recognising him, asked if he had a ticket to the lecture. When Twain replied that he didn't, the barber 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!" This paragraph uses examples to show humour plays an important role in Mark Twain's works and his life. 把...和...结合起来 删除 与..的互动 6 Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, Lin Yutang was soon to become famous for his unique brand of humour. A well-known bilingual writer, Lin brought the concept of humour to modern Chinese literature. In 1924, he creativly borrowed "youmo" from Ancient Chinese as the translation for the English word "humour". "Youmo" is sill being used in this way today. 品牌 独特的幽默 从...中借来，引用 作为 7 Lin's quick wit helped make him famous as a master 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 came a lion. The man whispered something in the lion's ear, after which the lion shook its head and walked away unhappily. Then along came a tiger. Again, the man whispered in the tiger's ear. The tiger looked shocked and hurried away. "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. 敏捷的思维 wit n.思维 使某人难堪 做演讲 急中生智 把..喂给... 哄堂大笑 斥责 8 Both 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 illuminate the world. Lin even created an equation to explain this concept: Reality＋Dreams ＋Humour=Wisdom. Living and working with others can sometimes be complicated, 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.

His father died early, making him homeless. In order to earn money Chaplin began to sing and dance in 1894. Ten years later, he went to the United States. He directed and starred in many humorous films between 1914 and 1916, the most famous of which were Modern Times, The Great Dictator, The Gold Rush and so on. He focuses on the performance of small people and through humorous body language to express the feelings of the characters. It isn't what he says but little actions that makes us laugh which mean the same thing to people all over the world.

There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval 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. 数千年来，幽默一直是人类行为的重要组成部分。古希腊的文字中记载有喜剧，而中世纪的作品中也常常出现笑话。虽然那些笑话对现在的我们来说可能不像当时那么有趣，但是它们的作者明白，幽默不仅娱乐大众，而且可以使人们对敏感问题或有争议的问题产生新的认识。 2 Closer to modern times, someone who is remembered for his ability to combine humour with more serious messages is American writer, Mark Twain. Twain’s particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous. For example, in his classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he famously says, “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.” But he is equally well known for his witty remarks in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour of the United States, Twain went into a barber’s shop to get a haircut and a shave. The barber, not recognising him, asked if he had a ticket to the lecture. When Twain replied that he didn’t, the barber 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!” 到了近现代，美国作家马克·吐温因擅长用幽默的方式表达严肃的内容而著称。吐温独特的写作风格幽默风趣，而且常常带有调侃意味。例如，在他的经典小说《汤姆·索耶历险记》中有一句名言“写作很容易，你要做的就是把错误的单词划掉。”他日常与人交流中的诙谐言论同样出名。比如，有一次在美国做巡回演讲时，马克·吐温走进一家理发店去理发和刮脸。理发师没有认出他来，问他有没有这场演讲的门票，马克·吐温说没有。理发师告诉他，如果他想去听演讲就只能站着了，因为剧院里已经没有座位了。马克·吐温回答说：“真倒霉。只要那个家伙演讲，我总是要站着！” 3 Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, Lin Yutang was soon to become famous for his unique brand of humour. A well-known bilingual writer, Lin brought the concept of 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. 和马克·吐温类似，在世界的另一端，林语堂很快也因其独特的幽默风格而闻名。作为著名的双语作家，林语堂将幽默的概念引入了中国现代文学。1924年，他创造性地借用古汉语中的“幽默”作为英文单词“humour”的翻译。今天，“幽默”一词仍在以这种方式被人们使用。  4 Lin’s quick wit helped make him famous as a master 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 came a lion. The man whispered something in the lion’s ear, after which the lion shook its head and walked away unhappily. Then along came a tiger. Again, the man whispered in the tiger’s ear. The tiger looked shocked and hurried away. “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. 林语堂的机智使他成为著名的幽默大师。有一次，他被邀请去一所大学吃晚饭，当校长突然让他做演讲时，他感到很为难。林语堂急中生智，开始讲述一个残忍的罗马皇帝试图把一个人喂给野兽的故事。首先来了一头狮子，那人对狮子耳语了几句，狮子摇了摇头，不高兴地走开了。然后来了一只老虎，那人又对老虎耳语了几句，老虎看起来很震惊，急忙跑开了。“你对我的动物们说了什么？” 皇帝惊讶地说道。“我告诉它们，把我作为晚饭吃掉后，它们必须要演讲一番。” 林语堂的听众们哄堂大笑。通过这个小笑话，林语堂既能让大家哈哈大笑，同时也委婉地表达了对校长的不满。 5 Both 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 illuminate the world. Lin even created an equation to explain this concept: Reality + Dreams + Humour = Wisdom. Living and working with others can sometimes be complicated, 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 of Mark Twain, “Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing”. 马克·吐温和林语堂都明白，幽默不仅仅能带来笑声，它还是一种生活方式，是一种可以用来阐明世界的工具。林语堂甚至还创造了一个公式来解释他的理念：现实+梦想+幽默=智慧。和其他人在一起生活和工作有时候并不是一件容易的事，而幽默可以让事情变得更简单。一起讲笑话、一起欢笑可以使不同的个体甚至是团体凝聚在一起。事实上，有些人甚至会认为我们对幽默的需求几乎与我们对水和空气的需求一样强烈。用马克吐温的话来说：“幽默是人类头等的幸事。” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Comedy through the ages, the word comedy first appeared in ancient greece. IT referred to stage plays with happy endings that made people laugh. In shakespeare time comedy had amusing themes such as mistaken identity and romance with a happy ending. Of course, some of shakespeare's most famous comedies include measure for measure, the merchants and oswell that ends well, plays that modern audiences may find rather serious. In one thousand nine century Victoria in england, comedy acts with clowns were popular. Modern comedy is considered to be any type of work that is intended to make us laugh. IT has found its way from the stage into our homes through radio, television and more recently, the internet. Of course, what is considered funny in one culture, and even in one period of history, may not be considered funny in another. The ancient romans didn't think IT was funny to laugh at oneself, while sixteen century italians loved a good practical joke, even if they were the victim of IT. Similarly, while in some cultures IT is OK to make jokes about family members and death, in others, this is considered very rude. A person's sense of humor is very much related to the social context in which they, whatever our sense of humor, comedy has the ability to connect us and change the way we look at the world. Aristotle said that comedy was a good thing for society because IT LED to feelings of happiness. The popularity of different forms of modern comedy, such as cross talk, stand up, sit com and comedy film, shows that people today love to laugh as much as the ancient greeks did.

IV主题阅读 With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when I know they are feeling down in the dump makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co­worker, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common polite to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting_a_gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together. 1．According to the author, what aspect of humor is useful?

IT referred to stage plays with happy endings that made people laugh. In shakespeare time comedy had amusing themes such as mistaken identity and romance with a happy ending. Of course, some of shakespeare's most famous comedies include measure for measure, the merchants and oswell that ends well, plays that modern audiences may find rather serious. In one thousand nine century Victoria in england, comedy acts with clowns were popular. Modern comedy is considered to be any type of work that is intended to make us laugh. IT has found its way from the stage into our homes through radio, television and more recently, the internet. Of course, what is considered funny in one culture, and even in one period of history, may not be considered funny in another. The ancient romans didn't think IT was funny to laugh at oneself, while sixteen century italians loved a good practical joke, even if they were the victim of IT. Similarly, while in some cultures IT is OK to make jokes about family members and death, in others, this is considered very rude. A person's sense of humor is very much related to the social context in which they, whatever our sense of humor, comedy has the ability to connect us and change the way we look at the world. Aristotle said that comedy was a good thing for society because IT LED to feelings of happiness. The popularity of different forms of modern comedy, such as cross talk, stand up, sit com and comedy film, shows that people today love to laugh as much as the ancient greeks did. The importance of humor humor has . been an essential part of human behavior for thousands of years. There is comedy in the tax of ancient degree's, and many evil written ings are filled with jokes, while these same jokes might not be as funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humor could not only entertain, but also throw new light on sensitive or emotive issues closer to modern times. Someone who is remembered for his ability to combine humour with more serious messages is american writer mark twin twins. Particular style of writing is funny and often miss of us. For example, in his classic novel the adventures tom sawyer, he famously says. writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words. But he is equally well known for his whitty reMarks in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour of the united states, twin went into a barber shop to get a haircut and shave. The barber, not recognizing him, asked if he had a ticket to the lecture. When twin replied that he didn't, the barber told him that if he wanted to go to the event, he would have to stand as there were no seats left in the theater twins response. Was that just my luck? I always have to stand when that fellow lectures . like train. But on the other side of the world, lin wu tague was soon to become famous for his unique brand of humor. A well known by lingual writer lyn brought the concept of humor to modern chinese literature. In one thousand nine hundred and twenty four, he creatively borrowed yum war from ancient chinese as the translation for the english word humor. Your wall is still being used in this way today. Lin's quick wit helped make him famous as a master of humor. 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 came alien. The man whispered something in the lions ear, after which the lion shook his head and walked away unhappily. Then along came a tiger again. The man whispered, in the tigers year, the tiger looked shocked and hurried away. 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. Lns audience rode with love. Db, with this little joke, lin was able to make people laugh while gently telling off the president both train. And lin understood that humor isn't just about laughter, but is a way of life and the all that can be used to illuminate the world. Lyn even created an vision to explain this concept. Reality plus dreams plus humor equals wisdom. Living and working with others can sometimes be complicated, and humor makes this easier. Sharing jokes and laughing together can bring individuals and even communities together. Indeed, some may argue that our need for humor is almost as great as our need for water and air. In the words of mark twin. humor is mankinds greatest blessing. Unit 1 Laugh out loud! LOL 开怀大笑 1 What forms of comedy are mentioned in the video?
