He has a cucumber (黄瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. Whats the matter with me? he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, Youre not eating properly . This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It shows Britains famous dry and satirical (讽刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britains national characteristics. The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰当的) joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life. While most Britons dont take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often dont understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor. Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality, he says.56.

But for American high school seniors the experience couldnt be more different. The end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties, games and fun.Senioritis is a commonly used expression. It means seniors have a disease which makes them unable to do work. This starts in April when seniors find out where they have been accepted to university. Unwilling to do school work, seniors have plenty of other activities to focus on.Many schools have a “Senior Show”, in which only seniors are allowed to perform. Some seniors sing or dance but many of them perform skits (滑稽短剧), where they make fun of their favorite teachers or their friends. For example, a group of boys may dress up and imitate a group of their girl friends. It is all very light-hearted.The “Senior Show” is usually a part of Senior Week, which is a week specifically dedicated (专用的) to seniors. During this week, seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their high school careers. The seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is the best-looking or funniest or most involved, etc. These are then published in the yearbook. The yearbook is an important part of high school for seniors. It is usually dedicated to them and has all their pictures and a quote from them in it. Then seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time together. Of course during all of this time, seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom, which is an important moment in American culture. It is the most important dance in a young Americans life. The end of senior year is a truly special and wonderful time for American students. Its something they will remember for the rest of their lives.67.
