There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval writings are 3._(fill) with jokes. While these same jokes might not be 4._ funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on 5._(sense) or 6._(emotion) issues. 7._(close) to modern times, someone 8._ is remembered for his ability 9._(combine) humour 10._ more serious messages is American writer, Mark Twain. Twains particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous. For example, in his classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he 11._(famous) says, “Writing is easy. All you have 12._(do) is cross 13._ the wrong words.” But he is 14._(equal) well known 15._ his witty remarks in his everyday 16._(interact) with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour of the United States, Twain went into a barbers shop 17._(get) a haircut and a shave. The barber, not 18._(recognize) him,19. _(ask) if he had a ticket 20._ the lecture. When Twain replied that he didnt, the barber told him that 21._ he wanted to go to the event he would have to stand, 22._ there were no seats 23._(leave) in the theatre. Twains 24._(respond) was, “Thats just my luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures!”Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, Lin Yutang was soon 25._(become) famous for his unique brand of humour. A well-known bilingual writer, Lin brought the concept of humour to modern Chinese literature. In 1924, he 26. _(creative) borrowed “youmo” from Ancient Chinese as the 27._(translate) for the English word “humour”. “Youmo” is still 28._(use) in this way today.Lins quick wit helped make him famous 29._ a master of humour. Once,30._(have) been invited to dinner at a university, he was put on the spot when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech. 31._(think) on his feet, Lin started to tell a story about a cruel Roman emperor 32._ tried to feed a man 33._ wild animals. First came a lion. The man whispered something in the lions ear, after 34. _ the lion 35._(shake) its head and walked away 36._(unhappy). Then along came a tiger. Again, the man whispered in the tigers ear. The tiger looked shocked and hurried away. “What did you say to my animals?” said the emperor, 37._(astonish). “I told them they had to make a speech after 38._(eat) me for dinner.” Lins audience roared with laughter. 39._ this little joke, Lin was able 40._(make) people laugh, while gently 41._(tell) off the president. Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isnt just about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can 42._(use) to illuminate the world. Lin even created an equation 43._(explain) this concept: Reality + Dreams + Humour = Wisdom. 44._(live) and 45._(work) with others can sometimes be complicated, and humour makes this easier. 46._(share) jokes and 47._(laugh) together can bring individuals and even communities together. Indeed, some may argue that our need for humour is almost as great as our need 48._ water and air. In the words of Mark Twain, “Humor is mankinds greatest blessing”.选择性必修一选择性必修一 Unit1.Understanding ideas 课文语法填空课文语法填空The Best Medicine1._ I approach the hospital 2._(wear) my white coat, I look just like any other doctor.
