21、   Making people laugh is not rocket science. It is (a kind of) science, though.

Professor Peter McGraw, who has studied the depths of human behavior to determine what is funny and what is not, has explored comedy all over the world along with co-writer Joel Warner. This exploration has resulted in a book called The Humor Code, and a reasonable scientific explanation for why people laugh at certain things and not others.

“Humor arises when something seems wrong, unsettling, or threatening (a kind of violation), but meanwhile seems okay, acceptable, or safe,” McGraw says. This idea makes up his Benign Violation theory, and it serves as the engine driving the book.” A dirty joke trades on moral or social violations, but it’s only going to get a laugh if the person listening is liberated enough to cońsider risqué subjects okay.” He adds, “Even tickling (挠痒), which has long been a sticking point for other humor theories fits perfectly. Tickling involves violating someone’s physical space in a benign way. You can’t tickle yourself because it isn’t a violation. Nor will you laugh if a stranger tries to tickle you, since nothing about that is benign.”

McGraw developed his benign violation concept by modifying and expanding an earlier linguist’s theory,whose definitions didn’t seem to cover the right bases. The professor has been conducting rigorous scientific testing at HuRL and in his travels with Warner ever since, and thus the concept has held water. Unlike other humor theories,benign violation offers more explanations for why some things aren’t funny.

“A joke can fail in one of two ways,” he says. “It can be too benign, and therefore boring, or it can be too much of a violation, and therefore offensive.”

The only way for people who want to be funny, perhaps professionally, to know the difference is to approach their humor the way McGraw and Warner have: like scientists.

“The only way to learn is through hard, repetitive, experimental work. You get up there on that stage night after night, assessing which lines work and which don’t, and adjust accordingly.” says Warner.

A.Why global travels matters.

B.How they create concepts.

【4】What should people wanting to be the best comedian do from the research?

A.Stand on the stage every night for trials.

B.Collect many scientific testing materials.

C.Know the difference between funny and not funny.

D.Learn through hard, repetitive and experimental work.

22、In 1980, I lived in Sydney, Nova Scotia which was a dirty steel town then. The steel factory was fed by a large number of coal mines surrounding the area. I became fascinated by the mines, the miners and the life they led. One weekend, I visited the Miner’s Museum, which was built over a disused mine. Pictures of men, faces black with coal dust, hung from the walls on the main floor. Many would die from black lung disease long before they died of old age.

I was the only local in the group of tourists. Along the way, we paused to look at the displays of mining equipment from centuries long gone. At one lighted alcove (壁凹) there was a small cage. A bird once lived inside. Treated kindly by the miners, it was well fed. It sat and waited to give up its life as a warning of the deadly methane gas (沼气) the coal produced. With no color or smell, a buildup of methane would kill the miners and destroy the tunnels they worked in. The bird’s death, like a smoke detector, warned the men of danger.

“Turn off your helmet lights!” the guide then ordered in the tunnel. “I want you to experience the life of a miner.” One by one we turned off our lights. The darkness was total-so thick that you thought the very air itself had been sucked out of the mine. And the silence! The silence was complete except for the breaths of fear from my companions. In the end, when we were pulled back to the surface the warm sun had new meaning for us.

Back in my small, rented room in a basement, I closed the curtains and turned off the lights. I thought deeply about a miner’s life under the ground, black dust, no sunshine and much danger. It’s not a life I would wish on anyone. Many people may hate their jobs. There have been a few I didn’t like and complained about. Then I thought about the coal miners and realized how blessed I am.

【1】Why did the author go to the Miner’s Museum?

A．Because he wanted to record the miners.

B．Because he didn’t want to do anything else.

C．Because he was interested in the life of the miners.

D．Because he was always attracted by pictures in museums.

【2】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．The bird liked methane gas.

B．Even a little methane gas would kill the miners.

C．The tunnels would be exploded by the miners if methane gas was released.

D．It was hard for the miners to know if methane gas was released without the bird.

【3】How did the tourists feel after turning off their helmet lights?

A．Calm and relaxed.

B．Excited and thrilled.

C．Fascinated and peaceful.

D．Breathless and frightened.

【4】What does the author want to convey in the last two paragraphs?

A．He believed that he was very lucky.

B．The basement was his tunnel and mine.

C．No job could satisfy him except mining.

D．It was impossible for miners to live a happy life.
