remember you because of your humour. but i think i dont have a very good sense of humour. could you suggest how to build on this? radha karnikthis is a great question that is unfortunately difficult to answer. i can only give you my views on this topic, which may or may not be correct. i know that my sense of humour developed over time.when i was younger i was not funny at all; now i can easily make people laugh. at the same time, sometimes i say things that i think are very funny but others do not. improving wit and humour, i believe, is an ongoing process.now, there are various forms of humour and everyone has their individual style. overall, i believe being fluent in a language is very important for being witty or funny. the way we play around with words adds the “funny” tag to an otherwise normal sentence.also, seeing irony is very important. i think humour is often the link between two unrelated things.in my experience, laughing frequently and appreciating other peoples jokes and wit are very important. within these, finding humour in everyday normal situations is the key.i often notice what is going on around me and say funny things in my head and laugh to myself. that serves almost as practice for when i am in a group. i watch comedy shows and movies and i am sure that has some effects on helping me improve my sense of humour. and last, having confidence that you are witty is important. there will always be someone wittier or funnier than you, which is fine. just work on building your own style.remember, if you are trying to be funny and witty in order to break the ice at a business function, be careful. in those situations, humour has to be mild and politically correct.yours，brad语篇解读本篇是一篇议论文，文章由咨询者的问题引出作者对幽默的看法。作者给咨询者提供了很多好的建议，你看看哪一条对你有帮助。36radha

developedd. a sense of humour helps impress others答案与解析c推理判断题。由第二段和第三段可以看出，幽默感是可以提高的。38in order to improve our sense of humour, brad believes that the following is important except _.a. good language

situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or culture. the humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language.one of my favourite shows is mr bean in a restaurant. after being seated at his table, mr bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. after a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. he opens it to find a birthday card and happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.when he looks at the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face. he takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托). he then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. when the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. he makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. he cant hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right. when this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine. when the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate. he becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurants violinist!i like to watch mr. bean on tv, but i wouldnt like to meet someone like him in real life and i certainly wouldnt like to have dinner with him!39from the passage, we know mr. bean is famous for _.a. making filmsb. his spoken englishc. playing a role in all kinds of filmsd. his funny performances in comedies答案与解析d细节理解题。根据第一段可以看出，憨豆先生以其在喜剧里的滑稽表演而出名。40why is mr bean famous all over the world?a. he often has meals in special restaurants.b. he amuses the audience from different countries.c. he acts on tv and in films.d. he acts on body language and spoken language.答案与解析b细节理解题。由第一段第二句可以看出，全世界的观众，不论国籍和文化背景，都会被憨豆先生的表演逗乐，因此他被认为是一名国际公认的喜剧家。41why does mr bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter?a. because he doesnt want the waiter to feel bad.b. because he doesnt want to say bad things.c. because he likes to express himself in the opposite way.d. because he thinks the waiter dislikes him.答案与解析a推理判断题。当服务员询问时，憨豆先生设法掩盖自己的真实感受，由此可推断，他这样做是不想让服务员感到尴尬。ci
