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, Its a little damp (潮湿的) outside. Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, She isnt exactly friendly. Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.Another key to understanding British humour 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 accidently 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. Whats more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) 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 doesnt 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 round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.（1） Is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?（2） What does understatement mean?（3） What do the British love to watch comedies about?（4） How does Mr Bean make people laugh?（5） What are the key points for people to understand British humour?二、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共10分)5. （5分） (2016镇江) 阅读下面信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。Everyone wants to find happiness.
