professor at the university of delaware.psychologists say that just because youre laughing doesnt mean youre wasting time. occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it is associated with the job, can inspire creativity, departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.“there are a lot of stressors ort there,” says ed dunkelblau, a psychologist in chicago. “gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”this is as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. the main point of it should be inspiring peoplenot laughing at them. “anything that would lift morale(士气) in terms of the company would be good humor,” says thierry guedj, a professor.you want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so dont make observations that are aggressive. most obviously dr. guedj says, dont make comments about peoples physical appearance, or faith. if you have any doubt its appropriate, dont go through with it.or you can take aim at the one person you know wont be offended (冒犯): yourself. “if theres going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” mr. dunkelblau says.“people with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” mr jones says. “and if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”66. according to the text, gallows humor has the following functions except_. a. leading to a big mistakeb. reducing pressure c. making people more creatived. improving performance67. what is ed dunkelblaus attitude towards gallows humor? a. negative.b. supportive.c. unconcerned.d. uncertain.68. which of the following would dr. guedj most probably agree with? a. gallows humor is the basic source of morale. b. people are allowed to laugh at others in gallows humor.

a sense of belonging c. doubt about the result of humord. try to avoid involving private things.70. what can we infer from the text? a. people tend to laugh at others rather than themselves. b. people can make others less stressful by laughing at themselves. c. people cant avoid offending others with gallows humor. d. people who laugh at themselves are easy to gain others favor.dhow do snails
