　　Telling jokes requires intelligence， creativity， imagination and the ability to tell a story， while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention， intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.Besides， there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators.A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour.
　　The author carried on the cartoon caption （字幕） task.159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them.Later， independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.
　　The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall.What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour.In other words， funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do.It is not clear why this is the case， but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes， compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.
　　Moreover， outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier， but surprisingly， outgoing people are less likely to be funny.This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population.They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.
　　Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive （認知的） tasks， each with unique characteristics.This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour， you may ask， “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more？”
1.What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common？
A.Attention. B.Creativity.
C.Imagination. D.Intelligence.
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A.The results of the study.
B.The process of the study.
C.The judgement of the study.
D.The importance of the study.
3.According to the text， outgoing people 　　　　.
A.are good at appreciating humour
B.are more likely to be comedians
C.are more likely to be funny
D.are unwilling to express themselves in social situations
4.What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Being very successful.
B.Being easy to talk to.
C.Being quiet and shy.
D.Being kind to others.
B
　　The idea that you can use humour， laughter， and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true.However， it is really true and simple.Humour， laughter and play have an important part in keeping you healthy.
　　Treat the blues with a sense of humour， which is closely tied to laughter.Laughter is infectious.Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling？When laughter is shared between people， it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is.You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you， and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile， even with a stranger.
　　Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy.We are often encouraged to make sure our children play， and are told the benefits of being out playing.However， what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play part of their life as it’s for children.Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.While the studies are still in the early stages， the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive （認知的） decline.
　　Anyway， adding humour， laughter， and play to our life will influence us mentally， physically and socially and bring us many advantages.So we should make full use of humour， laughter and play to make our life more active， interesting and happier.
5.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A.Playing an important role.
B.Keeping people in high spirits.
C.Spreading quickly among people.
D.Preventing illness from spreading.
6.What can laughter improve according to the author？
A.Cognitive abilities.
B.Personal relationships.
C.A sense of humour.
D.Responsibility and trust.
7.What does the author think the old should do？
A.They should have a good rest.
B.They should play like children.
C.They should prevent cognitive decline.
D.They should take part in physical play.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A.Humour， Laughter and Play for Health
B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C.Have an Active and Happy Life
D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax
C
　　What makes a sense of humour is a difficult thing to tell.Different people find different things funny， and what may seem hilarious to some might be highly rude to others.However， having a good sense of humour is important for reducing stress and getting along with others.Therefore， it’s important to think about ways to improve your sense of humour.
　　Look for the funny side of situations.While it can be difficult at times to find the funny side in unfortunate events when you’re having a bad day， try to think about how the situation might look like to other people， and attempt not to get too angry.Laughing over minor accidents， trips and falls will help you in preventing the loss of temper that you will regret later.
　　Learn some basic jokes.Some people find it hard to remember jokes， and feel left out when others are telling them.It’s worth trying to learn a few jokes that you can pull out of the bag when you need to， or regularly think about how you can turn a funny situation that occurs in daily life into an entertaining anecdote （趣聞） for later.
　　Look at jokes or funny cards.There are many different kinds of funny cards available， which can be a great inspiration for finding ways to improve your sense of humour.Giving an appropriate funny card to friends and family on the right occasion will show that you have a good sense of humour and are thinking about them.
　　Learn from friends.Look at friends that you think have a great sense of humour.How do they deal with situations， and what kind of jokes do they make？ Is there anything you can take away from their actions？
9.What does the underlined word “hilarious” in the first paragraph probably mean？
A.Extremely funny. B.Quite harmful.
C.Greatly meaningful. D.Quite useful.
10.How can you be humorous in tough times？
A.By looking for the funny side of situations.
B.By laughing over any accident.
C.By turning a funny situation into a joke.
D.By struggling not to lose your temper.
11.What should people do for learning some basic jokes？
A.Be active and learn from friends.
B.Be creative and get well prepared.
C.Be patient and listen to others carefully.
D.Be confident and have a good memory.
12.What would be the best title of the passage？
A.What Makes a Sense of Humour
B.How to Improve Your Sense of Humour
C.What’s Your Humour Style
D.Benefits of Humour

The Importance of Humour
　　Humour has been an essential① part of human behaviour for thousands of years.There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece②， and medieval③ writings are filled with④ jokes.[1]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 also⑤ throw new light on⑥ sensitive or emotive⑦ issues.
　　[1]本句為復合句。While引導讓步狀語從句。主句中含有that引導的賓語從句，not only ...but also ...連接并列謂語。
　　Closer to modern times， someone who is remembered for his ability to combine⑧ humour with more serious messages⑨ is American writer， Mark Twain.Twain’s particular style of writing⑩ is funny and often mischievous .For example， in his classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer， he famously says， “Writing is easy.[2]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！”
　　[2]All作主句主語，其后的定語從句中含有實義動詞do的某種形式時，作表語的不定式可以省略動詞不定式符號to。
　　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.
　　Lin’s quick wit helped make him famous as a master of humour .[3]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.[4]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.
　　[3]主句使用了被動語態，動詞-ing短語having been invited to dinner at a university作狀語。由于invited這個動作發生在was put on之前， 所以用完成式。when引導時間狀語從句。
　　[4]本句是完全倒裝句，副詞First放在句首時，后面把謂語came移到主語之前。
　　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， “humour is mankind’s greatest blessing ”.

幽默的重要性
　　數千年來，幽默一直是人類行為的重要組成部分。古希臘的文字記載中有喜劇，笑話也常常出現在中世紀的作品當中。雖然對現在的我們來說，那些笑話可能沒有它們在中世紀的時候那么有趣，但它們的作者明白，幽默不只是一種娛樂的方式，它還可以使人們對敏感問題或有爭議的問題產生新的認識。
　　到了近現代，美國作家馬克·吐溫因擅長用幽默的方式表達嚴肅的內容而著稱。他獨特的寫作風格幽默風趣，而且常常帶有調侃意味。例如，在他的經典小說《湯姆·索耶歷險記》中有一句名言：“寫作很容易，你只需要把錯誤的單詞劃掉就行。”但是他日常與人交流中的詼諧言論同樣出名。比如，有一次在美國做巡回演講的時候，馬克·吐溫走進一家理發店去理發和刮臉。理發師沒有認出他，問他有沒有這場演講的門票。當馬克·吐溫回答說沒有時，理發師告訴他，如果他想去聽演講就只能站著了，因為劇院里沒有多余的座位了。馬克·吐溫回答說：“真倒霉。只要那個家伙演講，我總是要站著！”
　　和馬克·吐溫類似，在世界的另一端，林語堂很快也因其獨特的幽默風格而出名。作為著名的雙語作家，林語堂將幽默的概念引入了中國現代文學。1924年，他創造性地借用古漢語中的“幽默”作為英文單詞“humour”的翻譯。今天，“幽默”一詞仍在以這種方式被人們使用。
　　林語堂的機智使他成為了著名的幽默大師。有一次，他被邀請去一個大學吃晚餐，當校長突然讓他做演講時，他感到很為難。林語堂急中生智，開始講述一個殘忍的羅馬皇帝要把一個人喂給野獸的故事。首先來了一頭獅子，那人對獅子耳語了幾句，獅子搖搖頭，不高興地走開了。然后來了一只老虎，那人又對老虎耳語了幾句，老虎看起來很震驚，急忙跑開了。“你對我的動物們說了什么？”皇帝驚訝地說。“我告訴它們，把我作為晚餐吃掉后，它們必須要演講一番。”林語堂的聽眾們頓時哄堂大笑。通過這個小笑話，林語堂既能讓大家哈哈大笑，同時也委婉地表達了對校長的不滿。
　　幽默不只能帶來笑聲，它還是一種生活方式，是一種可以用來闡明世界的工具，馬克·吐溫和林語堂都明白這一點。林語堂甚至還創造了一個公式來解釋他的理念：現實＋夢想＋幽默＝智慧。和其他人在一起生活和工作有時候并不是一件容易的事，而幽默可以讓這些事變得更簡單。一起講笑話、一起歡笑可以使不同的個體甚至是團體凝聚在一起。事實上，有些人甚至會認為我們對幽默的需求幾乎與我們對水和空氣的需求一樣強烈。用馬克·吐溫的話來說：“幽默是人類頭等的幸事。”

The Importance of Humour
　　Humour has been an essential① part of human behaviour for
thousands of years.There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece②，
and medieval③ writings are filled with④ jokes.[1]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 also⑤
throw new light on⑥ sensitive or emotive⑦ issues.
　　[1]本句為復合句。While引導讓步狀語從句。主句中含有that引
導的賓語從句，not only ...but also ...連接并列謂語。
【讀文清障】
①essential adj.極其重要的，必不可少的
②Ancient Greece古希臘
③medieval adj.中世紀的，中古時期的
④be filled with充滿，裝滿
⑤not only ...but also ...不僅……而且……
⑥throw light on使（某事）顯得非常清楚；使人了解（某事）
⑦emotive adj.使情緒激動的
　　Closer to modern times， someone who is remembered for his
ability to combine⑧ humour with more serious messages⑨ is American
writer， Mark Twain.Twain’s particular style of writing⑩ is funny and
often mischievous .For example， in his classic novel The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer， he famously says， “Writing is easy.[2]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！”
　　[2]All作主句主語，其后的定語從句中含有實義動詞do的某種形
式時，作表語的不定式可以省略動詞不定式符號to。
⑧combine v.使結合，使聯合
combine ...with ...把……和……結合起來
⑨serious message嚴肅的內容
⑩particular style of writing特別的寫作風格
mischievous adj.調皮的，淘氣的
classic novel經典小說
cross out刪除，刪去（字句）
witty remark機智的言論
interaction n.交流
on a lecturing tour在巡回演講
barber’s shop理發店
go to the event去參加活動
　　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.
　　Lin’s quick wit helped make him famous as a master of humour
.[3]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.[4]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.
　　[3]主句使用了被動語態，動詞-ing短語having been invited to
dinner at a university作狀語。由于invited這個動作發生在was put on
之前， 所以用完成式。when引導時間狀語從句。
　　[4]本句是完全倒裝句，副詞First放在句首時，后面把謂語came
移到主語之前。
brand n.品牌，牌子
brand of ……風格

concept n.概念，觀念

Roman emperor羅馬皇帝
whisper v.悄聲說，低語
hurry away匆匆離去
roar v.哄笑，大笑
roar with laughter哄堂大笑
tell off斥責，責罵
　　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， “humour is mankind’s greatest blessing ”.
illuminate v.照亮，照明
equation n.等式，方程式
complicated adj.難處理的；難懂的
bring ...together把……聚集在一起
blessing n.恩賜；祝福；好事
【參考譯文】
幽默的重要性
　　數千年來，幽默一直是人類行為的重要組成部分。古希臘的文字
記載中有喜劇，笑話也常常出現在中世紀的作品當中。雖然對現在的
我們來說，那些笑話可能沒有它們在中世紀的時候那么有趣，但它們
的作者明白，幽默不只是一種娛樂的方式，它還可以使人們對敏感問
題或有爭議的問題產生新的認識。
　　到了近現代，美國作家馬克·吐溫因擅長用幽默的方式表達嚴肅
的內容而著稱。他獨特的寫作風格幽默風趣，而且常常帶有調侃意
味。例如，在他的經典小說《湯姆·索耶歷險記》中有一句名言：“寫
作很容易，你只需要把錯誤的單詞劃掉就行。”但是他日常與人交流
中的詼諧言論同樣出名。比如，有一次在美國做巡回演講的時候，馬
克·吐溫走進一家理發店去理發和刮臉。理發師沒有認出他，問他有
沒有這場演講的門票。當馬克·吐溫回答說沒有時，理發師告訴他，
如果他想去聽演講就只能站著了，因為劇院里沒有多余的座位了。馬
克·吐溫回答說：“真倒霉。只要那個家伙演講，我總是要站著！”
　　和馬克·吐溫類似，在世界的另一端，林語堂很快也因其獨特
的幽默風格而出名。作為著名的雙語作家，林語堂將幽默的概念
引入了中國現代文學。1924年，他創造性地借用古漢語中的“幽
默”作為英文單詞“humour”的翻譯。今天，“幽默”一詞仍在以這
種方式被人們使用。
　　林語堂的機智使他成為了著名的幽默大師。有一次，他被邀請去
一個大學吃晚餐，當校長突然讓他做演講時，他感到很為難。林語堂
急中生智，開始講述一個殘忍的羅馬皇帝要把一個人喂給野獸的故
事。首先來了一頭獅子，那人對獅子耳語了幾句，獅子搖搖頭，不高
興地走開了。然后來了一只老虎，那人又對老虎耳語了幾句，老虎看
起來很震驚，急忙跑開了。“你對我的動物們說了什么？”皇帝驚訝地
說。“我告訴它們，把我作為晚餐吃掉后，它們必須要演講一番。”林
語堂的聽眾們頓時哄堂大笑。通過這個小笑話，林語堂既能讓大家哈
哈大笑，同時也委婉地表達了對校長的不滿。
　　幽默不只能帶來笑聲，它還是一種生活方式，是一種可以用來闡
明世界的工具，馬克·吐溫和林語堂都明白這一點。林語堂甚至還創
造了一個公式來解釋他的理念：現實＋夢想＋幽默＝智慧。和其他人
在一起生活和工作有時候并不是一件容易的事，而幽默可以讓這些事
變得更簡單。一起講笑話、一起歡笑可以使不同的個體甚至是團體凝
聚在一起。事實上，有些人甚至會認為我們對幽默的需求幾乎與我們
對水和空氣的需求一樣強烈。用馬克·吐溫的話來說：“幽默是人類頭
等的幸
事。”

Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　Telling jokes requires intelligence， creativity， imagination and
the ability to tell a story， while listening to jokes is more passive
behaviour but one that demands attention， intelligence and being in
the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.Besides， there are also clear
similarities between joke tellers and appreciators.A new study takes
this further and tries to find other connections between creating
humour and appreciating humour.
　　The author carried on the cartoon caption （字幕） task.159
participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and
were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of
them.Later， independent judges classified those captions based on
how funny they were.
　　The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions
also produced more captions overall.What was more interesting was
that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of
humour.In other words， funny people tend to find jokes less funny
than other people do.It is not clear why this is the case， but it might
be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour
creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell
jokes， compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.
　　Moreover， outgoing people and those who are open to new
experiences found the cartoons funnier， but surprisingly， outgoing
people are less likely to be funny.This is consistent with my own
research that comedians were more 　introverted　 than the general
population.They usually don’t like to express themselves in social
situations.
　　Appreciation and production of humour are two different
cognitive （認知的） tasks， each with unique characteristics.This is
why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour，
you may ask， “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh
more？”

1. What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common？
A. Attention. B. Creativity.
C. Imagination. D. Intelligence.

賞笑話的人的共同之處是聰明才智。

A. The results of the study.
B. The process of the study.
C. The judgement of the study.

研究的過程。
3. According to the text， outgoing people 　　　　.
A. are good at appreciating humour
B. are more likely to be comedians
C. are more likely to be funny
D. are unwilling to express themselves in social situations
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第四段第一句可推知，外向的人善于
欣賞幽默。
4. What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4
mean？
A. Being very successful.
B. Being easy to talk to.
C. Being quiet and shy.
D. Being kind to others.

不喜歡在社交場合表達自己，說明他們比較安靜和害羞。故畫線詞
意為“安靜，害羞”。

　　The idea that you can use humour， laughter， and play to make
you healthier probably seems too simple to be true.However， it is
really true and simple.Humour， laughter and play have an important
part in keeping you healthy.
　　Treat the blues with a sense of humour， which is closely tied to
laughter.Laughter is infectious.Have you ever heard a big laugh of a
young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling？When
laughter is shared between people， it makes them closer to each other
and increases their happiness.Smiling is the beginning of laughter and
a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is.You can experience
something by smiling at everyone around you， and you will feel
happier just by sharing a smile， even with a stranger.
　　Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy.We
are often encouraged to make sure our children play， and are told
the benefits of being out playing.However， what we often forget is
that it is just as important for old people to make play part of their life
as it’s for children.Physical play is important for the old and it
certainly helps prevent illness.While the studies are still in the early
stages， the studies that have been done have shown that physical play
certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive （認知的） decline.
　　Anyway， adding humour， laughter， and play to our life will
influence us mentally， physically and socially and bring us many
advantages.So we should make full use of humour， laughter and play
to make our life more active， interesting and happier.

樣重要，它可以幫助預防疾病，因此作者認為老年人應該玩耍。
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

　　What makes a sense of humour is a difficult thing to tell.Different
people find different things funny， and what may seem hilarious to
some might be highly rude to others.However， having a good sense of
humour is important for reducing stress and getting along with
others.Therefore， it’s important to think about ways to improve your
sense of humour.
　　Look for the funny side of situations.While it can be difficult at
times to find the funny side in unfortunate events when you’re having
a bad day， try to think about how the situation might look like to
other people， and attempt not to get too angry.Laughing over minor
accidents， trips and falls will help you in preventing the loss of
temper that you will regret later.
　　Learn some basic jokes.Some people find it hard to remember
jokes， and feel left out when others are telling them.It’s worth trying
to learn a few jokes that you can pull out of the bag when you need
to， or regularly think about how you can turn a funny situation that
occurs in daily life into an entertaining anecdote （趣聞） for later.
　　Look at jokes or funny cards.There are many different kinds of
funny cards available， which can be a great inspiration for finding
ways to improve your sense of humour.Giving an appropriate funny
card to friends and family on the right occasion will show that you
have a good sense of humour and are thinking about them.
　　Learn from friends.Look at friends that you think have a great
sense of humour.How do they deal with situations， and what kind of
jokes do they make？ Is there anything you can take away from their
actions？

A. By looking for the funny side of situations.
