A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes，the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9：35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was hard at work.Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do!” he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh.Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.1、Why was Sam late for his job?A、Because he was ill.B、Because he got up late.C、Because he was caught in a traffic jam.D、He was busy applying for a new job.2、The main idea of this passage is().A、Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB、humor is important in our livesC、early bird gets the wormD、humor can solve racial discriminations3、The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means().A、tried to hold backB、tried to setC、chargedD、gave out4、Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?A、Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.B、It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.C、Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.D、All people lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.

第二篇Using Humor EffectivelyIf you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile,you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing,the problems will be different. if you are talking to a group of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries,you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example,which I heard at a nurses' convention,of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations,beautiful gardens,sunny weather,and so on.Everyone is very peaceful,polite and friendly until,waiting in a line for lunch,the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat,who rushes to the head of the line,grabs his foodand stomps over to a table by himself."Who is that?"the new arrival asked St.Peter."On,that's God,"came the reply,"but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."If you are part of the group which you are addressing,you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties.With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disrespect remarks about their canteen or their chairman.You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous,you must practice so that it becomes more natural.Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile,so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor' It often comes from the unexpected.A twist on a familiar quote"If at first you don't succeed,give up"or a play on words or on a situation.Search for exaggeration and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.To make your humor work,you should________.A:take advantage of different kinds of audienceB:make fun of the disorganized peopleC:address different problems to different peopleD:show sympathy for your listeners

Ha!The Sdence of When We Laugh and WhyIt's certainly possible to over-analyze a joke._______(46)Considering the abundant research on the topic,maybe not.Scott Weems,a neuroscientist,takes readers on a wide-ranging tour that explains what humor is and why readers should care.______(47)Humor improves interpersonal relationships,and studies show that simply watching a funny movie can lower stress,improve immune system response and even help viewers better solve problems.The complexity of the human brain makes humor possible,Weems argues,and it also helps explain how some people can find a joke hilarious while others deem it grossly offensive.Humor takes many forms-as many as 44 by one researcher's count-but shares certain traits and themes.From puns and riddles to slapstick（打闹剧）,humor is inherently subversive , Weems says , often treating serious subjects with frivolity（轻浮）or even rudeness.______(48) Ha !
