With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when I know they are feeling down in the dump makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co­worker, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is mon polite to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting_a_gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
1．According to the author, what aspect of humor is useful?
A．It makes people more confident.
B．It can pick up people's spirits.
C．It can help people get rid of the cruelty in the world.
D．It can help people get on well with others.
2．What can we know from the second paragraph?
A．The writer is funny and polite.
B．Family members should play tricks on each other.
C．The writer's grandma is humorous.
D．We should relieve stress in any situation.
3．What does the underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．Explaining carefully. B．Speaking loud.
C．Keeping silent. D．Laughing hard.
4．What is the author's attitude towards the present world?
A．Critical. B．Positive.
C．Satisfied. D．Indifferent.

5．答案与解析：A'由“Therefore, professional edians often spend years developing their unique style.”可知，职业喜剧演员往往花费数年时间来形成自己独特的风格。

本空与下一句为承接关系，来说明幽默感需要很长时间的实践才能形成。

故A选项“良好的幽默感不是一夜之间就能表现出来的”符合语境。
