The short answer is: Who knows? The joke that causes a burst of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another. In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more than two people in your conversational group. If there are only two people and they consist of you and your best friend go ahead and tell it. Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing, appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them. You might be quite funny and have many great jokes. But theres a place for jokes over dinner with family, hiking with friends, but business or social affairs with colleagues and acquaintances(熟人) are not it. It takes a whole other level of joke-telling ability to put a joke into the more formal conversations. The best jokes e into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline that produces humour is being delivered to their surprise and delight. Jokes dont translate well when youre in a group with mixed backgrounds: those whose first language is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an in expression, young people who wouldnt catch a reference to some bit of culture familiar to older people and vice versa(反之亦然). Never joke about another person in the group about their name, habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past. Its not a question of whether the joke is cheery or appropriate. No one enjoys being singled out this way. When you are the subject of the joke, the laughter doesnt feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself theyre not laughing at you. Because thats what it feels like. What do you say if you realize your joke upset someone? Apologize as briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject. Try saying: Im sorry. I should have known better or Im sorry. I wasnt thinking. What do you do if people dont get your joke or dont appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only louder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen. Second, dont try to push people to get it. People do not like people whose jokes they dont understand. They feel stupid and need to blame someone. If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish. You could say: I dont know why I tell jokes when Im so poor at it. The world needs laughter, and good humour is a success wherever it goes, so this caveat(告诫) about joke-telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation. If youre a gifted story-teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it. We need your kind. The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.41. According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at a business or social gathering if _. A. the joke is well chosen B. you have plete confidence in your listeners sense of humor C. only you and your best friend are involved in the conversation D. the audience consists of your colleagues and acquaintances 42. Why do some jokes fail to work? A. Because the punchline is too long to catch. B. Because the joke-teller uses wrong words and expressions. C. Because the joke-teller and listeners dont share the same background knowledge. D. Because the jokes are not properly translated into the listeners native language.43. How will people feel when they are joked about? A. They will feel happy if the joke is a pleasant one. B. They will be upset no matter what kind of joke it is. C. They will enjoy the joke when realizing that people are not laughing at them. D. They will panic because it makes them the center of attention.44. When people do not understand a joke they hear, they tend to _. A. believe its the joke-tellers fault B. get someone to retell the joke C. ask for explanation D. say something foolish45. Which of the following best describes the writers opinion on joke-telling? A. Nobody knows what makes a joke funny. B. We should not tell jokes unless we are asked to do so. C.

For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried(开采) at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impuritiesbut this may no longer be necessary. The green sand has already been successfully tested by water panies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean. Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar), a pany based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made. The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it. Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the pany has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted. The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles e from to cut down on transport. The factory will be pleted this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a regular product, the governments drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water panies.50.

We are convinced that this ability, this gift, is evidence that they were called to teach. If the gift of sight is evidence, how greater must be the gift of touch. I have a story. I grew up in the fifties in a poor African American neighborhood in Stockton, California, that had neither sidewalks nor an elementary school. Each day, always in groups at our parents insistence, my friends and I would leave home early enough to walk eight blocks to school and be in our seats when the bell rang. For four blocks, we walked on dusty roads. By the fifth block, we walked on sidewalks that led to lovely homes and to Fair Oaks Elementary School. It was at Fair Oaks, in a sixth grade English class, that I met Ms. Victoria Hunter, a teacher who had a huge influence on my life. During reading periods, she would
