CDonnie Russell found an egg. It is 2.1 centimeters long and weighs 3.46 grams, setting the new world record for the smallest chicken egg.The Guinness World Record for the smallest chicken egg is 2.7 centimeters.Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest Easter egg hunt: it consisted of (包含) 501,000 eggs that were searched for by 9,753 children accompanied (陪伴) by their parents at the Cypress Gardens Adventure Park in Winter Haven, Florida, USA.Donnie Russell said that he found the egg last month on his farm in West Virginia and its difficult to put the find into words.

It measured 2.1 cm by 1.69 cmabout the size of a penny.“West Virginias hills are full of surprises. We have a little bit of every-thing,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Gus R.

Thus humor is something that is not always the same in another country. What somebody from one area finds interesting may not be amusing at all to somebody from another location. Whether or not someone gets humor is determined by their understanding and influenced by their culture.Lets take the example of Britain and America. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans dont understand irony (讽刺).One of the major differences seems to be how often both nations use irony. The British use irony on a daily basis, while it is not the foundation of American humor. When Americans use irony, they usually say that they are “only joking”. They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than the British do.The American sense of humor is generally more direct than that in Britain. Their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, are more indirect. There is usually a hidden meaning. This comes from the different cultures between the two countries.Certain American comedies have got huge success in Britain and some British comedies are also popular with Americans. Although there are differences between both comic (喜剧的) styles, there is still an understanding of the other sense of humor. Both the British and American versions (译本) of the comedy The Office are hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic. Both shows have their own cultural differences, yet they portray a lifestyle which both Americans and the British can understand. 47. Whats the topic of the passage?A. American comedies and British comedies.B. The importance of humor in improving understanding. C. The differences between British and American humor. D. Humor and jokes in Britain and America. 48. The example of Britain and America is used to show _.A. both Americans and British people like to play jokes in their daily lives B. Americans tend to be more satisfied with their life than the BritishC. people in different countries have different ways to express their feelings D. people using the same language dont necessarily share the same sense of humor49. According to the author, the differences between British and American jokes _.A. have resulted from cultural differences B. have influences on the English languageC. clearly show their different attitudes towards lifeD. may cause misunderstandings between the two countries50. Which of the following words is the closest in meaning to the underlined world “portray”?A. Include.B. Describe.C. Replace. D.
