    English people are famous for their humour (幽默). {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main thing to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is that English people often use understatement.

    Understatement means saying less{#blank#}3{#/blank#}you think or feel. For example, if {#blank#}4{#/blank#}gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp (潮湿的) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}" Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people might say, "He isn't exactly friendly." People often use understatement in unpleasant (使人不愉快的) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} or to make another person look silly.

    Also, English people like to make fun of themselves as well as others. The comedy (喜剧) 'Mr Bean' is a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#}example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean always speaks as little as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the comedy. He always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to use his body to make people happy. Maybe what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that people in the real world will never do.

    Do you know the famous cartoon piglet (小猪) "McDull" ? He is not clever, but he has {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. McDull lives in a simple and happy way. He has a lot of dreams. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is to visit the Maldives. But his mother doesn't have enough money for the trip there. So she tricks him by {#blank#}3{#/blank#}in Hong Kong. Because in Hong Kong there is a sign and it says "Go to the Maldives". It makes McDull very happy. He thinks he is really in the Maldives!

    McDull's dreams never {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. He tries again, but always fails. Anyway, he doesn't stop. He will get another dream soon. He lives his life in a good way. That's why the piglet is so popular! So, even you are not {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, you should always try your best!
