Australians are pretty bold (大胆的) when it comes to humor. Not afraid of saying something insulting (冒犯的) in the name of a good laugh, they generally don't hold back. This is always done in fun, however.
You get yourself a haircut before going to meet your new Aussie friend. You're expecting to be praised, but what you hear is, “Did you have a fight with a lawnmower (割草机)?” You might take this as an insult, but it's just your friend's way of saying that you've had a haircut.
课后课时作业(三)
117
Your friend comes knocking at your bedroom door one morning to tell you're late for class. You were up studying late the night before and you look a mess. Your friend thinks you need to put a brush through your hair before leaving, but instead of just saying so he says, “Wow. Your hair looks like a bush pig's arse.” He's trying to be nice.
Australia is one of cultures on this planet where making fun of someone is a sign of friendship. If you find yourself being made fun of lots, it could be that you've scored yourself a whole lot of new friends. Consider yourself lucky—these insults are all part of building a relationship.
课后课时作业(三)
118
Australians also use a lot of sarcasm (讽刺). You foolishly say something that's obvious (明显的). For example, “A sixpack of beer is named after the number of beers you get in the pack, the number being six.” A normal answer would be, “That is the most obvious statement I've ever heard”, but an Australian would say, “Really? You're so clever”.
Now let's say your teacher tells you that there will be a test the following day. Australians might say, “Great. I can't wait to add preparing for a test to my already long todo list. Thank you for this gift”.

Astronauts have traditionally been serious, sensible types with the “right stuff” who can be trusted to fly equipment worth billions of pounds.
But any mission to Mars will need a “joker”or “class clown” figure to be successful, according to NASA research. A sense of humor will be vital for any team to keep morale (士气) high on a twoyear trip to Mars which could happen in the 2030s.

Professor Johnson said, “Groups work best when they have somebody who takes on the role of the class clown. These are people that have the ability to bridge gaps when tensions appear and really boost morale. We can all think of the person at work who fulfills this role, who makes us laugh and makes the job more enjoyable. People like being around them.”
“When you're living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, tensions are likely to increase. It's vital you have somebody who can help everyone get along, so they can do their jobs and get there and back safely. It's critical to the mission.”

Professor Johnson said that the reason Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen succeeded where Captain Scott failed in reaching the South Pole was because the Norwegians had a cheerful “clown” figure on their team. Professor Johnson said, “Amundsen had a cook named Adolf Lindstrom. People described him as being someone who laughed and was very friendly and very happy, an entertainer, keeping up people's spirits. In Amundsen's diary he said he had offered greater service to the Norwegian polar expedition than any other man. He was the clown of that expedition. Scott's expedition was radically different. They broke into cliques (派系); they didn't have a cohesive group.”

But he added, “being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job. They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer and be able to pass a rigorous training system.”
Clowns have to be positive. It's pretty universal that group dynamics happen in very similar ways across all human groups.
The joker role will be tested in NASA's group mission simulations at the Johnson Space Center.

Steps to Improve Your Humour
If you want to know how to get funnier in your personal and business life, here are the exact lines, methods, and practical strategies.
Give the opposite answer to yes/no questions.
The easiest way to be funny, even if you are not, is to give the opposite answer to yes/no questions. Yes, it is that simple. The more obvious, the better. __1__ So they laugh. Then you can move on to your real story.
课后课时作业(三)
134
Use a character switch.
When we tell a story, there are usually multiple characters. More often than not, people will make assumptions about them. For example, Little Red Riding Hood is the vulnerable (易受伤害的) one, and the Big Bad Wolf is the dangerous one. But what if you switch personas around and the Big Bad Wolf suddenly is vulnerable? __2__
Play with numbers.
One way to be surprising is to play with numbers. __3__ Why? Because numbers are specific. To be surprising, all you have to do is build up people's expectation to be the opposite of what that number suggests.
课后课时作业(三)
135
Use reallife stories, not jokes.
__4__ A joke is a fake story that sets up for a punchline (笑点). If the punchline falls flat, you end up looking like a fool. Rather than tell jokes, funny people tell relevant stories that have humorous elements.
__5__
When you have a funny idea or joke, it's hard not to share it right away. But the bestplaced pun (俏皮话) is actually at the end. Put the funny part at the end of the sentence. That way, you're not still talking when the audience is meant to be laughing. This also makes your timing look awesome.
课后课时作业(三)
136
A.Delay (拖延) the funny.
B.You don't have to tell a new joke.
C.If you have a funny thought, record it as an audio note.
D.Actually, jokes are harder to tell in real life than stories.
E.Numbers are your best friend when it comes to being funny.
F.The moment you give the opposite answer, you have surprised your audience.
G.That's when people's assumptions are overturned and things become really funny.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在生活和工作中提升自己幽默感的几个实用策略。
课后课时作业(三)
137
1.答案:F

课后课时作业(三)
138
2.答案:G
解析:上文“But what if you switch personas around and the Big Bad Wolf suddenly is vulnerable? (但如果你转换角色,大灰狼突然变得脆弱会怎样?)”提出角色转换的假设。G项(就在这时,人们的假设被推翻,事情变得非常有趣。)承接上文,解释了这种角色转换带来的有趣效果。故选G。
课后课时作业(三)

3.答案:E
解析:本段小标题“Play with numbers.”建议要利用数字提高幽默感,下文“Why? Because numbers ... that number suggests.(为什么?因为数字是具体的。为了让人感到惊讶,你所要做的就是让人们的期望与数字所暗示的相反。)”解释了利用数字的原因和方法。E项(说到幽默,数字是你最好的朋友。)引出下文,且符合本段主旨。故选E。

课后课时作业(三)
141
5.答案:A
解析:设空处为本段小标题。下文“When you have ... makes your timing look awesome.(当你有一个有趣的想法或笑话时,很难不马上分享。但最恰当的俏皮话实际上在结尾。把有趣的部分放在句子的末尾。这样,当观众应该笑的时候,你就不会还在说话,这也会让你的时机看起来很棒。)”主要讲述了要延迟展现幽默的部分。A项(延迟幽默。)概括本段主旨。故选A。

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It's a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and

shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.

Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.

Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans. But one common human quality that has been difficult for engineers to recreate in machines is humor.
Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence, or AI. Some have performed better than humans in tests designed to measure machine intelligence.
Computer scientists have also hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed.

Kiki Hempelmann is a computational language expert who studies humor at Texas A&M University. “Artificial intelligence will never get jokes like humans do,” he told the Associated Press. The main problem, Hempelmann says, is that robots completely miss the context of humor.
Tristan Miller is a computer scientist and linguist at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany. In one research project, he studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语).
Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or, “pop” can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes.

But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.
Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another.

But Texas A&M's Kiki Hempelmann is not sure such attempts are a good idea. “Teaching AI systems humor is dangerous because they may find it where it isn't, and they may use it where it's inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny,” he added.
