24、 Besides the spelling of the word, there are clearly many differences between American and British humor.
There is a common belief (信念) in the UK that Americans don’t understand irony (讽刺). This is of course not true. But what is true is that Americans don’t use it all the time. Irony may show up in American comedies, but people there don’t use it as much as the British do in daily life. However, irony is common in British culture. It actually runs in the blood of the British people. They use it as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies as well as themselves in everyday conversations. This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it. They may also feel embarrassed.
Things are different in America. After American people use irony, they feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable. Humor is tied so much to culture. American jokes are clearer and more forward. British jokes, on the other hand, are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning. This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的)than American culture. However, we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain.
Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation (欣赏)and understanding of the other’s sense of humor.
【1】What do British people think of American humor?
A.They think irony isn’t popular in America.
B.They think American jokes are clearer.
C.They think it is tied to American culture.
D.They think Americans don’t understand irony.
【2】American people use ______ British people in daily life.
A.as much irony as B.less irony than
C.as little irony as D.more irony than
【3】When talking in everyday life,British people use irony to ______.
A.laugh at themselves B.fight with their enemies
C.make friends with others D.make other people unhappy
【4】According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

B.British comedies have not made any success in America yet.
C.American and British people understand each other's sense of humor.
D.Americans don't use irony in their daily life because they don't understand it.
【5】The best title for the passage is_____ .
A.American people VS. (与…比较)British people
B.American humor VS. British humor
C.American culture VS. British culture
D.American word spelling VS. British word spelling.

28、Fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
There are so many things around us that make life more convenient. What might life be like without them? We asked our readers what they thought were the most u 【1】inventions from the past. Here are their top four.
It all starts here. If you haven't got wheels, you can't go anywhere or get anything! We need them for every type of vehicle. They take us to p【2】we have never been to and bring things fast. They’re used for operating many kinds of machines. Wheels were used as f【3】back as 3000 BC.
Imagine it’s extremely cold or extremely hot. If you want some water, you've got to go to the well or a pump(抽水机). Or even worse, your toilet is o【4】 the house. Before indoor plumbing, people had to do this. Try to think about all the times you turn on the water in your home every day. The ancient Greeks c【5】 it nearly 4,000 years ago. Unfortunately, there are still some countries where they haven't got it.
Until 1879, candles or oil lamps were used for lighting. But then Thomas Edison developed the bulb. Walk around your home and count how many light bulbs you see. They're e【6】-even inside your fridge!
You might use one of these to do your homework, organize your schedule or read a magazine. But computers are also used for running things that you use every day. There are
t【7】computers inside cars, microwave ovens, TV sets and DVD players. Charles Babbage invented the first computing machine in 1822 but it has changed a lot since then
These are the readers' top four. What do you think is the fifth?
