My grandma likes to be with the young though she is in her{#blank#}1{#/blank#} now.

Those {#blank#}2{#/blank#} books will be donated to the schools in poor areas.

It is difficult work，but the sense of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is huge.

The patient is getting much better after the operation and now she can look after{#blank#}4{#/blank#}   .

    Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let's have a look at what we laugh at in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    To us British people, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and important people often cause laughter. It's not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} too seriously.

    We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it's even {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} at last.

    The fact that we laugh when other people might feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience, we might say, "Not very {#blank#}8{#/blank#}." And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, "It's a bit windy today." Or "There is a tiny problem," when something has gone {#blank#}9{#/blank#} wrong. We don't like to express strong feelings, but just "keep calm and carry on".

    Another things that can make it difficult {#blank#}10{#/blank#} British humor is that we don't always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we're making a joke.

    Do you think the British sense of humor is special?

A: Hi, Ken. Will you be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}tomorrow morning?

B: I think so. Why?

A: Because there will be a new action movie at the theater. Would you like to see it with me?

B: Thanks. But I don't like action movies.

A: Oh... What about a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}then?

B: I don't really like comedies, either, I think they are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

A: What about a concert then?

B: Er, I am not interested in concerts. I don't think they are interesting.

A: Oh, I understand now. It will be Thursday tomorrow and your {#blank#}4{#/blank#}sitcom will be on TV.

B: You know me very well. How about watching the sitcom with me?

A: Sure. I love it, too.

B: OK. If we watch it together, we will have a good time. Let's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}at my place at 10:30 a, m. then.

A: Yeah. See you.

B: See you.
