A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.

However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.

In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.

Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self- image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.

A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.

Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.

Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware of.

With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.

1.Hobbes believes that humor__________.

A. was for people to view the world from another angle

B. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings

C. had the power to mirror personal glory and national values

D. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better

A. by comparisonB. by process C. by example D. by classification

A. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.

B. The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.

C. Never be the one who laughs at other people.

My nephew’s 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to 　　inside and joined him in a game. After　　for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I fell into my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few 　　moments of peace and quiet.

"Look，Alice,” he said　　as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting "I found a kite. Could we go outside and 　　it?"

Glancing out a nearby window, I noticed it was　　outside. “I'm sorry, Tripper,.” I said, sad to see his 　　eyes. "The wind is not blowing today. The kite won't fly.”

The　　10-year-old replied, “I think it's 　　 enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered as he ran out to the back door 　　.

Up and down in the yard he ran, pulling the kite 　　to a small length of string. He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten year-old 　　 would carry him, looking back　　at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of 　　determination, he came back in.

I asked, "How did it go?"

"Fine，”he said, not wanting to admit 　　．“I got it to fly some”

As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the　　．”

At that moment I heard another Voice speak to my 　　. "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 　　waiting for the Wind.”

And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 　　what we want to do. We wait for the Wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（耗尽）our own　　．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!
