Having a laugh: How British people joke with each other
The BBC celebrated 100 years on Oct 18. To celebrate the day, it brought out a 100-second video clip showing
BBC presenters making silly mistakes or forgetting their lines. This is quite typical of British humor.
British people are quite cheeky( 厚 脸 皮 的 ). They like to make fun of themselves and laugh at just about
anything. We’ll make fun of each other, lightly insulting(冒犯)one another and then laughing about it. For example,
if your friend trips over you and says “enjoy your trip?” we call this kind of joking between friends, “banter”.
British people love being sarcastic-when you say one thing but mean another. Like if your friend has got a bad
haircut and you say, “Wow, that’s the best haircut I’ve ever seen,” when you both know it’s really bad. Similar to
this is the understatement, like saying “it’s a bit windy,” when there’s a huge storm outside.
We also love our awkward situations. The British can be quite awkward people, not knowing what to say in
social situations or saying the wrong thing to the wrong people, or just being a bit weird in public. Mr Bean making
a fool of himself in front of people is a good example.
Another thing we love doing is being “deadpan”. This is when you say funny things with a serious face as if
they’re not a joke. So, the next time you meet a British person and don’t understand their humor, don’t worry. It’s
very understandable.
4. What does “banter” mean?
A. Being cheeky. B. Insulting each other.
C. Making fun of oneself. D. Joking in a friendly way.
5. Which of the following might be an understatement of “I lost a thousand pounds”?
A. I only lost a few pounds. B. I lost my whole life savings.
C. I won myself a bright future. D. I came across a huge storm.
6. Which of the following best describes Mr Bean?
A. Weird. B. Emotional. C. Rude. D. Sociable.
7
.
Which statement does the author probably agree with?
A. British people take things too seriously.
B. British people love making fun of themselves.
C. British humor involves many silly mistakes
D. British humor is easy to understand.

From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to overuse technology.
”For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,“ the Daily Mail
commented.
A computer model called Mindy may persuade many people to think twice. A team from the US-based
company Toll Free Forwarding built a three-dimensional(三维的)model to uncover the negative effects technology
can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.
”Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine off balance,“ explained
Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert in the US. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to
support the head, making our back hunched(驼背的)and neckwide.
”The way we hold our phones can cause strain in certain points of contact-causing text claw(手机手),“ Nikola
Djordjevic, a practicing physician in Serbia, told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm.
Scientifically, it is called cubital tunnel syndrome. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look
like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution may not work this way. They believe that only features
