Imagine a stranger walking past you on a cold, rainy day. “Lovely weather, isn’t it?” the stranger says. Do you laugh, or even smile? If not, you may not have a dry sense of humor.

British people, and particularly the English, are well-known for our dry sense of humor. We often say the opposite of what we mean in order to be funny, and tell jokes in a tone of voice that makes it sound like we are being completely serious. As US writer Julian Tan put it on the HuffPost Students blog: “It is as if it is ‘Opposite Day’ every day in Britain.”

If the people of Britain are known for having a “stiff upper lip” and not showing emotion, then our dry sense of humor shows this through jokes. Often it will take a long time or several beers, to get a British person to tell you what they actually think about something and get behind the wall of humorous sarcasm (讽刺) that they have in front of them.

English comedian Ricky Gervais put it like this: “We play jokes on our friends. We use sarcasm as a shield (护盾) and a weapon. We avoid being serious until it’s absolutely necessary.”

It can be annoying and confusing if you haven’t been raised with these types of jokes: “Why did he just say such a ridiculous thing? Is he making fun of me?” But it is also true that understanding this type of humor is a good way to make friends with people in the UK, even if you don’t find it funny.

It’s important to remember that the person telling the joke may actually be making fun of himself or herself, not you. One of the characteristics of British humor is “its strong theme of self-deprecation” (making fun of oneself), according to Tan. So don’t worry – often, English people, and British people in general, just want to make fun of themselves!

24.According to the passage, we can know that someone with a dry sense of humor can ___________.

A. not use sarcasm as a shield and a weapon.

B. not make friends with people in the UK

C. pretend to play jokes on their friends

D. say funny things in a serious way

25.Which of the following words best describes British humor according to Julian Tan?

A. Opposite. B. Annoying. C. Ridiculous. D. Funny.

26.The underlined phrase “stiff upper lip” in Paragraph 3 refers to a quality of ___________.

A. remaining calm B. communicating feelings

C. taking a positive attitude D. focusing attention

27.It can be inferred from the passage that _______________.

A. British people are famous for being emotional

B. British people’s humor is often misunderstood

C. it’s a tradition for British people to make fun of each other

D. it doesn’t take a long time to make friends with British people

C

Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.

Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch.

Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World WarⅡ, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.

But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.

Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

She got married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.

Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World WarⅡ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

28.In Paragraph 1,“her aid work” means ____.

A. making movies

B. taking acting parts in stage shows

Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different“styles”of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs：in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles.“How far away is the post office?”you ask.“Oh,”they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please?”To this question you won’t get an answer，because most probably they don’t know it themselves.

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language.Instead，a Greek will often say,“Follow me.”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question.What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that“I don’t”is impolite.They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one.So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!

However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world.It’s body language.

32.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?

A.“Go south two miles.Turn west and then go another mile.”

B.“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”

C.“The post office is about five minutes from here.”

D.“The post office is at Street Kamira.”

33.Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?

A.They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.

B.They prefer to lead you the way.

C.They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.

D.They prefer to use body language.

34.How do Greeks give directions?

A.Using street names.

B.Using landmarks.

C.Leading people the way.

D.Giving people a wrong direction.

35.Where is Yucatan?

A.In the USA. B.In Japan. C.In Greece.D.In Mexico.

If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36.So challenge the following limits:

1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.

If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37.But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"

2. 38.

Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.

3.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. 39.A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.

4.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
