In the story，the 7-year-old Alice is running after a white rabbit，but she accidentally falls down a rabbit hole and enters a world called Wonderland．（106）AIn Wonderland，there seems to be no logic （逻辑）or rules．（107）GA cruel queen says she is going to cut off someone's head every two minutes．A cat smiles so big that its lips （嘴唇） almost reach its ears．（108）BHer body grows and shrinks （缩小） during her time in Wonderland．
Alice is very annoyed because she doesn't understand this strange place．But in fact，the story is about an innocent （天真的） youngster trying to make sense of the strange adult world，said Professor Will Brooker of Kingston University London．

17．A GOOD joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language．
There's more to learn understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar．
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an ice-breaker for a language learner who wants to build friendships with native speakers．
"I always felt that humor was a ceiling （上限） that I could never break through，"said Hannah Ashley，who once studied Spanish in Madrid．"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 （喜剧演员） Joe Wong （Huang Xi） found this out first-hand （亲身经历）．He had achieved great success doing stand-up comedy （美式单口相声） in the US，but when he returned to China in 2008for his first live show in Beijing，he discovered that his humor didn't translate．People didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones．
In Australia，many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache．"The hardest jokes are related to rugby （橄榄球） 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 Britons use irony （讽刺）-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 （倾向于） be more subtle （不易察觉） and dark，while American jokes are direct with their meanings，a bit like Americans themselves，"he wrote in a newspaper．

11．Honesty（诚信） of American students is seen everywhere．When I first a（1）rrived in America，I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates．Over my first month at school，I didn't see or h（2）ear anyone cheating（作弊）．I found two reasons for this．
F（3）irst，if any student cheats，he or she will get p（4）unished．My school has a rule called the Honor Code （荣誉准则）．It asks students n（5）ot to steal，lie or cheat．If someone does something a（6）gainst the code，he or she will have to leave the school．During my first year in the school，seven students left the school b（7）ecause of cheating．
Second，American students don't care about scores as m（8）uch as Chinese students do．They know that colleges will look at their all-round a（9）bilities instead of only scores．So they have fewer r（10）easons to cheat．We all know honesty is worth priceless treasure．
