This was obviously a difficult task, as no two people ever really agree about what is funny and what is not especially when theyre from different countries.Here is the joke they chose as the funniest joke in the world. Two hunters are in the woods. One of them falls to the ground. He doesnt seem to be breathing. The other hunter takes out his mobile phone and calls emergency services.“My friend is dead! What can I do？” The operator says, “Dont worry. First, make sure hes dead.” Here is a silence. Then a shot is heard. Bang! The hunters voice comes back on the line：“OK, now what？”This is perhaps slightly amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. Its quite a “black” joke. The experts also found the second funniest joke: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After dinner, they go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up.“Watson, what do you see？”“Millions of stars，” replies Watson.“And what do you infer from that？”“Well, there are billions of planets .We are a small part of the universe .We will have a beautiful day tomorrow .”“Watson, you idiot (笨蛋)! Someone has stolen our tent！”I personally think this is better. Understanding this joke, however, depends on us knowing who Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are. It also has an unexpected ending something that is very important and necessary for most jokes. Surprise can be funny.Whats funny on the Earth? Scientists are excellent at studying complicated (复杂的) things. Some things are much too complicated, even for the most intelligent though.1It is difficult to find the funniest joke in the world because _.Athere are too many jokes to choose fromBthose experts cannot agree with each otherCpeople across the world create new jokes every dayDpeoples standards of what is funny are not the same2In the authors opinion, the first joke _.Ais really funny and amusingBis not as funny as those experts thoughtCshows peoples wrong understanding of huntersDtells readers never to look down on brave hunters3Which of the following influences the understanding of a joke most?AThe readers mood.BThe readers cultural background.CThe characters style of language.DThe number of funny points in the joke.4In most cases, the completely necessary point of a joke is _.Aa result beyond expectationBthe mention of great peopleCextremely funny behaviorDthe use of special phrasesBArt is tired of just hanging around it wants to get active!
