As I sat beside the window that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s end-of-the-year party. I had 21 volunteered my mother when Miss Pace

requested 22 volunteers. By two o’clock other mother had come with their offerings, but there was no 23 of her. As the noisy party went on, I wouldn’t 24 the window, watching outside and holding out hope that Mum would come soon. The three o’clock bell soon woke me from my thoughts and I took my book bag and 25 out of the door for home.

On the walk home, I planned my revenge(报复). I would shut the front door angrily upon entering, 26 to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and vow(发誓) 27 to speak to her again. The house was 28 when I arrived. I was lying face-down on my bed, shaking with a mixture of heartbreak and 29 .

When she returned, entered my room and sat beside me, I didn’t 30 but instead

stared into my pilliow refusing to accept her presence. “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just 31 . I got busy and forgot.” I still didn't move. “Don't 32 her,”I told myself. “She forgot you. Make her 33 .” Then my mother did something completely 34 . She began to laugh. I rolled over and faced her, 35 to let her see the anger and disappointment in my 36 . But soon I found my mother wasn’t laughing at all, actually. “I’m so sorry,” she said, in tears, “I let my little boy 37 .” she sank down on the bed and began to cry like a little girl. I was shocked 38 I had never seen my mother cry . To my understanding, mothers weren’t supposed to. “It’s okay, Mom,” I said, “we didn’t even 39 those cookies. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.” My words made my mother sit up. She 40 her eyes,and a slight smile appeared. I smiled back awkwardly(局促不安)， and she pulled me th her.

Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humour. Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.

The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.

This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.

By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance.

“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior(优越的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”

Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”

The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.

Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.

This week, London will be full of celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rat. Every year, London’s Chinatown holds a great event to celebrate Chinese New Year, the largest event outside of Asia.

This year in the UK, there seems to be a huge amount of interest in Chinese culture. For the third year running, the “China in London” season is being held. This extended event will run from February to April, ending in the Olympic torch relay, when the Olympic flame will pass through London on its way to the start of the Beijing Games.

The “China in London” season will incorporate a huge number of events, ranging from art exhibitions to modern dance, film festivals to tea tastings, musical concerts to children’s half-term activities. In addition, another Chinese culture festival, “China Now” is launching at Chinese New Year.

This is a nationwide season of events leading up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as cultural events, this programme includes an education programme for schools to develop relationships with China, and a Football Exchange, where the UK Football Association will be coaching children in China and offering a lucky few the chance to visit Britain on a football tour.

The main Chinese New Year celebration will be held on Sunday 10th February, and is expected to attract around 300,000 visitors. It will showcase both traditional and contemporary Chinese arts, bringing together British-born and Chinese performers.

The most important thing of the day is the grand parade(游行) through the streets of London, led by a traditional dragon dance, followed by musicians, acrobats, artists and children. There will be a large stage and screen in Trafalgar Square featuring(展现) martial arts, music and dance.

It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers, so Leicester Square will see displays on the hour all afternoon. Nearby theatres and arts centers will also be holding special New Year events, such as variety shows.

Happy New Year to you, we hope you enjoy your celebrations as much as we will enjoy them in London.
