34、L HUMOUR As Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that （drive）winter from the human face", and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made people

35、laugh a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel (much) content with their lives. Not that Charlie's own life was easy! He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could sp

36、eak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often (certain). Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood (look) after his sick mother and his brother. By h

37、is teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the most popular child (act) in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored (watch) him -his subtle acting made everything (滑稽可笑). As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more p

38、opular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known the world. The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a (society) failure but was loved for h

39、is optimism and determination to overcome all (difficult). He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him. How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has

40、 just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leat

41、her shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the (fine) steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is s

42、o (convince) that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted! Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he (star)in. In 1972 he (give) a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland

43、, he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great ( confident).ENGLISH JOKES1 There are thousands of jokes which use "play on words" to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is ano

44、ther kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1 C: What's that fly doing in my soup? W: Swimming, I think!2 C: What's that? W: It's bean soup.C: I don't want to know what it's bee

45、n. I want to know what it is now.3 C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long? W: No, sir. Round.2 Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokes about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it and decide which of these two kinds o

46、f jokes you like better. Give your reasons. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. They were lying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the stars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?" Wats

47、on replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you really think of?." Watson tried again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes.

48、 Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!" U4. COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM? Yesterday, another student and I, 1._ (代表)our unive

53、, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then 18._（shake） my hand.
