the view of America s Mark Twain that a German joke is no laughing matter The Germans won ahead of the Russians and Turks The stereotype of German humourlessness is believed to derive from their reputation for efficiency punctuality and rationality 理性 Examples of German jokes include Yesterday I met my friend Horst at the hospital He d swallowed a sponge He says it doesn t hurt but he s always thirsty When we meet someone new one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh says Lloyd Price Badoo s Marketing Director America is a worthy poll winner says Price It s the

her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley what would your opinion be Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly Different people have different ideas The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world In many parts of Africa it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin On Bali a little island in Indonesia they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight flat teeth The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful It is a kind of test If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much then you are thought ready to become an adult In Myanmar there is a small group of people who are called the Padaung They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck I mean a VERY long neck Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there s nothing whatever you can do about it But you would be wrong At around the age of 5 a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck tightly between the chin and shoulders Each year more rings are added and very very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down in this way making the neck look longer A Padaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life never once taking them off So now I m

ugly C It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight flat teeth on Bali D Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar 45 What is the best title of the passage A

He had muscular dystrophy 肌肉萎缩症 When he was born the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five and then they were told he would not make it to ten Now he was thirteen He wanted to meet me because I was a gold medal power lifter and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams I spent over an hour talking to Matthew Never once did he complain or ask Why me He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams Obviously he knew what he was talking about He didn t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different He just talked about his hopes for the future and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me When we had finished talking I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would He looked at it for a moment then took it off and handed it back to me He said You are a champion You earned that medal Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal I will show it to you Last summer I received a letter from Matthew s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before Dear Dick My mum said I should send you a thank you letter for the picture you sent me I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don t have long to live any more but I still smile as much as I can I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal but I know now I will never get to do
