( )51.why is sesame street shown many times during the week? amore children can benefit from it. bchildren can watch it 5 times a week.cmany schools can use it in classes. dchildren can watch it again and again. ( )52.what can children learn from sesame street mainly? a. singing skills. b. drawing skills. c. basic knowledge. d. storytelling. ( )53. what is the most important reason for sesame street to be successful? a. because it is supported by the government and businesses. b. because it is based on educational theories. c. because it gives parents chances to see famous stars. d. because it gets children interested in learning. b he is a child in a grown mans body. everywhere he goes, he makes his fans laugh so much. he is the lead character of the hugely popular film and tv series of mr. bean(憨豆先生), created by british comic actor rowan atkinson. since its tv show made the first appearance in 1990, its 14 half-hour programs have been sold to more than 200 tv territories worldwide. this year sees mr. bean celebrate its 25 th anniversary(周年纪念日). why has the character enjoyed success with people of different cultures? unlike most people in comedy today, mr. bean doesnt make much use of dialogue, so there is no language barrier (障碍) in his work. mr. bean can talk -sometimes does- but what he does is much more important than what he might say. for example, in a tv episode, mr. bean becomes a barber and makes a terrible mess of the customers hair. this doesnt need any translation. but theres a deeper reason. although he is british and the stories generally take place in british settings, people from different cultures laugh at mr. bean for the same reason earlier generations (一代人) laughed at comic star charlie chaplin. as atkinson told the newspaper: “the essence (本质) of mr. bean is that he is self-centered and in fact doesnt care about the outside world.” mr. bean breaks social rules wherever he goes he jumps the queue, tries to cheat(作弊) in exams we all secretly want to do but generally dont. ( )54. the article is mainly about _. a. the influence of mr bean on british culture b. the reasons behind the success of mr bean c. the importance of humor in british culture d. the most successful british film director ( ) 55. why has mr bean been popular with people of different cultures?a. because he looks lovely and smart. b. because he can solve any problem in a special way. c. because people can quite often see him on the screen. d. because people can easily understand his humour.

( )64. which research has won 2014 ig nobel for medicine? a. looking at ugly art can be painful. b. salt pork can be used to treat nosebleeds. c. mosquitoes like the smell of feet and cheese.d. the influence cats have on their owners mental health.
