In a national spelling contest in America, an 11–year–old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had the word. But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the letter — so she lost the contest.

As the girl walked off the , the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her . Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11– year–old girl’s honesty, even when it her the contest. But the fact is that she the biggest contest that day: the contest of her .

Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get . This young girl could easily have and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own and character more than the prize from a spelling . Her respect for herself was more important than any others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the she made in that moment will have long–lasting influence.

A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”

Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”

In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.

In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”

In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony (反话)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.

【题文１】It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ________.

A. making jokes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign language

B. humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammar

C. vocabulary and grammar help you understand jokes in a foreign language

D. there tends to be something behind the words of a joke in a foreign language

【题文２】What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?

A. She thinks that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.

B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.

C. She found that humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.

D. She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the English language.

【小题３】Joe Wong is used as an example to ________.

A. suggest that there are cultural differences in humor

B. show that it’s hard to put jokes into another language

C. prove that local people have different taste in humor

D. show that expressing ability affects the sense of humor

【小题４】From the article we can learn that ________.

A. jokes about sports are difficult for foreigners to understand

B. Americans are generally more humorous than British people

C. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily

D. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable
