2....laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better,which means clown doctors can be helpful.(教材第2页)
3.We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses,who keep us updated on each patient.(教材第3页)
以上加粗部分都是非限制性定语从句,它们与所修饰的先行词之间用逗号相隔。
1.非限制性定语从句。
一般情况下,非限制性定语从句都由一个逗号把它和句子的其他部分分开。在非限制性定语从句中,如果先行词指物或整个主句,则用which引导;如果先行词指人,且在从句中作主语或宾语时则用 who 或者whom引导;先行词指人或物,关系词在句中作定语,用whose引导;先行词表时间或地点且在从句中作时间状语或地点状语时,可用 when、where 引导。

②He usually has lunch in his office, there are fewer people at lunchtime.
答案:①when ②where
2.限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别。
(1)在句中的作用不同。
限制性定语从句对被修饰的先行词有限定制约作用,使该词的含义更具体,更明确。限制性定语从句不能被省略,否则句意就不完整。而非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不十分密切,只是对其作一些附加说明,不起限定制约作用。如果将非限制性定语从句省去,主句的意义仍然完整。
(2)外在表现形式不同。
限制性定语从句因与先行词的关系密切,所以不可以用逗号将其与主句隔开;而非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不十分密切,所以可用逗号将其与主句隔开。
Do you have the photo that we took together in our primary school
你有我们一起在小学拍的照片吗
Mr Zhang,who came to see me yesterday,is an old friend of mine.
张先生昨天来看我,他是我的一位老朋友。

答案及剖析:
1.where 考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,先行词为a bamboo platform,在定语从句中充当地点状语,故用where。
2.which 考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,先行词为online,充当介词from的宾语,故用which。
3.whose 考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,先行词为Dr Rowan,与secretary构成所属关系,故用whose。

Who’re happier,men or women Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful,because basically,happiness is different for men and women.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years,according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender (性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological,psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness,warmth and fear,which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver,while men display more anger,pride and disrespect,which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially,but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons (镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view,to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings,such as more guilt,shame and to a lesser degree,embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger,women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.
1.Which feeling is men more likely to show compared with women
A.Warmth. B.Depression.
C.Happiness. D.Disrespect.
2.What factors cause women to share feelings more openly
A.Psychological factors.
B.Biological factors.
C.Educational factors.
D.Social factors.
3.One can probably read the text from .
A.a work of science fiction
B.a culture brochure
C.a nursery guide
D.a health magazine
4.What is the text mainly about
A.Men and women differ in biology and psychology.
B.Men and women experience happiness differently.
C.Social roles have a great effect on men and women.
D.Women’s happiness has declined in the past years.

A famous education expert performed an experiment.Three teachers were told they had been selected for a special program because they were the best teachers in the education system in their city.They were asked to teach 90 high IQ students at their own pace in another city and see how much they could learn in a year.
The result was excellent as they expected.The specially selected students achieved 20 to 30 percent more than the other students in grades in the city a year later.The teachers were surprised when they told that the 90 students were not high IQ students,but were actually randomly (任意地) selected out of the common students.Of course,the teachers were feeling pretty good about themselves because they were getting such great results from average students.Then they were told that they were not the best teachers,and what they were told at first was pulled out of the hat.
Above average results were achieved by average students who were taught by average teachers.How These teachers were operating from the mindset (心态) of As If.They taught as if they were the best teachers and teaching students who were highly able or gifted.Therefore,they got unexpected results.The mind is powerful and it doesn’t know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.The teachers believed what they were told so they acted upon that belief.The results were the same as if what they believed was fact.
What results do you want in your life Go ahead.Live as if you are already in that professional job by playing and acting the part.Live as if you are at the weight you want by making healthy food choices and behaving in a confident manner.Live as if you are financially sound by saving and spending wisely.Our thoughts decide our actions.Think in the mindset of As If and you will achieve success sooner or later.

How to Be Naturally Funny
People who are naturally funny in social situations experience many benefits.Numerous studies have shown that humour reduces social anxiety,helps to ease tension,and has a number of positive emotional and psychological effects.In addition,it has been shown that funny people may be more successful.However,it is important that being funny comes across naturally in a laid-back and spontaneous (即兴的) fashion.1.
Start by Loosening up!
2. Remember that laughter is contagious (可传染的).So if you carry yourself in an open and humorous way,people will be ready to laugh.To break the ice,you may follow the lead of others if you need to.
Look for Humour in Everyday Events.
Many comedians focus on the world around them to find comedic material.3. Try making a goal of noticing 5 funny things per day that happen to you.Through this technique,you will begin to see humour in mundane situations that everyone will appreciate.
4.
We all have friends who are always good for a laugh.What is it that makes them funny When you see them,pay careful attention to what makes them funny.Is it their tone of voice,body language,content,general demeanor,or something else that makes them naturally funny Identifying what it is that makes them funny will provide clues for how you can be naturally funny as well.
Practice Being Funny.
Make it your goal to say or do something that makes someone laugh once a day.5. Therefore,professional comedians often spend years developing their unique style.By starting small,you will be on your way to being naturally funny in general conversation.
A.A good sense of humour does not appear overnight.
B.Visit a naturally funny friend or acquaintance.
C.If you find something funny,share it with a friend who you think will find this funny as well.
D.Having humour come across as forced and awkward can have a negative impact upon social situations.
E.Others look to their past experiences,such as their childhood,or past relationships as a way to make people laugh.
F.While others will not always understand your humour,you can use their reactions to help improve your style,content,and timing.
G.Being too uptight and self-conscious is roadblocks to developing and communicating a natural sense of humour that is relatable to other people.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何以一种轻松、自然的方式表现出自己的风趣幽默提出了几点建议。阅读本文,有利于培养学生幽默风趣的品质。
答案及剖析:
1.D 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。由题空前一句可知,此处要说明让人觉得幽默是被迫的和尴尬的,会对社交场合产生负面影响。然后引出作者提出的几点建议,希望这几点建议能帮助读者摆脱被迫的和尴尬的幽默,以便对社交场合产生积极的影响。故D项符合语境。
2.G 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据小标题可知,此处要说明不放松会带来的不好的影响。故G项符合语境。
3.E 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第一句可知,此处要说明其他人是如何寻找喜剧素材的。故E项符合语境。
4.B 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据下文可知,本段主要在说要想变得风趣幽默,要拜访一个天生风趣的朋友或熟人,故B项符合语境。
5.A 考查学生理解因果关联意义的信息的能力。根据空后一句可知,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项符合语境。(共79张PPT)

语法梳理
1.非限制性定语从句。
一般情况下,非限制性定语从句都由一个逗号把它和句子的其他部分分开。在非限制性定语从句中,如果先行词指物或整个主句,则用which引导;如果先行词指
人,且在从句中作主语或宾语时则用 who 或者whom引导;先行词指人或物,关系词在句中作定语,用whose引导;先行词表时间或地点且在从句中作时间状语或地点状语时,可用 when、where 引导。

2.限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别。
(1)在句中的作用不同。
限制性定语从句对被修饰的先行词有限定制约作用,使该词的含义更具体,更明确。限制性定语从句不能被省略,否则句意就不完整。而非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不十分密切,只是对其作一些附加说明,不起限定制约作用。如果将非限制性定语从句省去,主句的意义仍然完整。
(2)外在表现形式不同。
限制性定语从句因与先行词的关系密切,所以不可以用逗号将其与主句隔开;而非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不十分密切,所以可用逗号将其与主句隔开。
Do you have the photo that we took together in our primary school

Who’re happier,men or women Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful,because basically,happiness is different for men and women.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years,according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender (性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological,
psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness,
warmth and fear,which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver,while men display more anger,
pride and disrespect,which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially,but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons (镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view,to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings,such as more guilt,shame and to a lesser degree,embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger,women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.
Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.

A famous education expert performed an experiment.Three teachers were told they had been selected for a special program because they were the best teachers in the education system in their city.They were asked to teach 90 high IQ students at their own pace in another city and see how much they could learn in a year.
The result was excellent as they expected.The specially selected students achieved 20 to 30 percent more than the other students in grades in the city a year later.The teachers were surprised when they told that the 90 students were not high IQ students,but were actually randomly (任意地) selected out of the common students.Of course,the teachers were feeling pretty good about themselves because they were getting such great results from average students.
Then they were told that they were not the best teachers,and what they were told at first was pulled out of the hat.
Above average results were achieved by average students who were taught by average teachers.How These teachers were operating from the mindset (心态) of As If.They taught as if they were the best teachers and teaching students who were highly able or gifted.Therefore,they got unexpected results.The mind is powerful and it doesn’t know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.
The teachers believed what they were told so they acted upon that belief.The results were the same as if what they believed was fact.
What results do you want in your life Go ahead.Live as if you are already in that professional job by playing and acting the part.Live as if you are at the weight you want by making healthy food choices and behaving in a confident manner.Live as if you are financially sound by saving and spending wisely.Our thoughts decide our actions.Think in the mindset of As If and you will achieve success sooner or later.

How to Be Naturally Funny
People who are naturally funny in social situations experience many benefits.Numerous studies have shown that humour reduces social anxiety,
helps to ease tension,and has a number of positive emotional and psychological effects.In addition,it has been shown that funny people may be more successful.However,it is important that being funny comes across naturally in a laid-back and spontaneous (即兴的) fashion.1.
Start by Loosening up!
2. Remember that laughter is contagious (可传染的).So if you carry yourself in an open and humorous way,people will be ready to laugh.To break the ice,you may follow the lead of others if you need to.
Look for Humour in Everyday Events.
Many comedians focus on the world around them to find comedic material.3. Try making a goal of noticing 5 funny things per day that happen to you.Through this technique,you will begin to see humour in mundane situations that everyone will appreciate.
4.
We all have friends who are always good for a laugh.What is it that makes them funny When you see them,pay careful attention to what makes them funny.Is it their tone of voice,body language,content,general demeanor,or something else that makes them naturally funny Identifying what it is that makes them funny will provide clues for how you can be naturally funny as well.
Practice Being Funny.
Make it your goal to say or do something that makes someone laugh once a day.5. Therefore,professional comedians often spend years developing their unique style.By starting small,you will be on your way to being naturally funny in general conversation.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何以一种轻松、自然的方式表现出自己的风趣幽默提出了几点建议。阅读本文,有利于培养学生幽默风趣的品质。
A.A good sense of humour does not appear overnight.
B.Visit a naturally funny friend or acquaintance.
C.If you find something funny,share it with a friend who you think will

答案及剖析:
1.D 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。由题空前一句可知,此处要说明让人觉得幽默是被迫的和尴尬的,会对社交场合产生负面影响。然后引出作者提出的几点建议,希望这几点建议能帮助读者摆脱被迫的和尴尬的幽默,以便对社交场合产生积极的影响。故D项符合语境。
2.G 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据小标题可知,此处要说明不放松会带来的不好的影响。故G项符合语境。
3.E 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第一句可知,此处要说明其他人是如何寻找喜剧素材的。故E项符合语境。
4.B 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据下文可知,本段主要在说要想变得风趣幽默,要拜访一个天生风趣的朋友或熟人,故B项符合语境。
5.A 考查学生理解因果关联意义的信息的能力。根据空后一句可知,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项符合语境。Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection

A survey by an international temporary service agency found that US managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs,compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact,about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during hard times.And,what’s more,it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues.Why It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive.In fact,a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people meet important projects,they usually feel angry,hopeless or depressed.According to Dr Trice’s research,taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really so important,then why don’t we use it more often on the job Most likely,the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.However,it is important to realise that some humour is not good for the workplace,and that it is often used at wrong times.
1.What can most people think of a sense of humour do
A.Help you to do your work better.
B.Make you have a higher position in your work.
C.Make you pleased with your work.
D.Help you to make more friends.
2.Which one of the following can describe a person with a sense of humour
A.Serious. B.Funny.
C.Changeable. D.Friendly.
3.What’s the reason why many people don’t often use humour in the workplace
A.They like keeping silent when working.
B.They don’t completely understand the advantages of humour.
C.They think they should obey the rules.
D.They don’t like joking or laughing.
4.What is probably the best title for the passage
A.People with a Sense of Humour
B.Humour Is Important in the Workplace
C.Humour and Humourless
D.Everyone Likes Humour

Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture,and an explanation of what you think these things are all about.Look back on these lists later in the trip; what seemed strange before is probably familiar now,and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves!Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers What travel advice would you offer

don’t get it.

M:Where are you going Sometimes it’s nice to read about the place you’re visiting.
W:England.
M:You might like an author like Jane Austen,who writes with a lot of humour.Or Emily Bront ,another classic author.Her writing is full of emotion.It isn’t terribly enjoyable,but it always has powerful female characters.
W:I love Austen and Bront ,but I didn’t think about mysteries.Are they frightening
M:Not at all.The main story is about solving the crime,rather than the murder.I can suggest a few titles.
W:I hope I have time to finish the book!I’m travelling with my children,and they often interrupt my reading.

B
A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack—when a touch of humour might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late for the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes,the boss was,as Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室):everyone was hard at work.Sam’s boss came up to him.
Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do ”He said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Doesn’t the early bird get the worm ”
The room exploded in laughter.The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win—a laugh.
Humour is a most effective,yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,
apologising,saying “no”,criticising,getting the other fellows to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects that are so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
24.Why was Sam late for his job
A.Because he was ill.
B.Because he got up late.
C.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D.Because he was busy applying for a new job.
25.Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage
A.All people lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humour.
B.It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C.Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D.Humour is the most effective way of solving problems.
26.The underlined phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.tried to hold back
B.tried to set up
C.charged
D.gave out
27.The main idea of this passage is .
A.Sam Maynard saved his job with humour
B.humour is important in our lives
C.early bird gets the worm
D.humour can solve racial discriminations

The idea that you can use humour,laughter,and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true.However,it is really true and simple.The sense of humour,laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humour,which is closely tied to laughter.Laughter is infectious.Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling When laughter is shared between people,it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is.You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you,and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile,even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy.We are often encouraged to make sure our children play,and are told of the benefits of being out playing.However,what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children.Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.While the studies are still in the early stages,the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway,adding humour,laughter,and play to our life will influence us mentally,physically and socially and bring us many advantages.So we should make full use of humour,laughter and play to make our life more active,more interesting and happier.
28.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean

Laughter is a kind of universal body language that is shared by people of all nationalities,skin colours,cultures and traditions.But did you know that the ability to tell real laughter apart from fake (假的) laughter also varies among cultures
Greg Bryant,a professor of communication at the University of California,
published a study in late July.In the study,884 people from 21 countries were asked to listen to random recordings of laughter.Some of the recordings were made up of laughs from the bottom of the heart,while others were made by people who were asked to laugh on command.
The study showed that people around the world have the ability to pick out real laughter,although their abilities vary from country to country.Residents of the Samoan Islands,were particularly good at it,correctly identifying real laughter 56 percent of the time.According to Bryant,people from smaller,less industrialised nations “are more accurate in identifying a natural smile” because they rely heavily on emotional engagement in order to predict others’ behaviour and create stronger social relationships.
But how do people from different cultures detect natural laughter so easily And what characters does real laughter have As Professor Jessica Wolf of the University of California told the Association for Psychological Science,in real laughter,we produce qualities,such as higher pitch (音调) and volume,as well as faster bursts of no clear sounds.
By contrast,fake laughter will “sound like speech”.According to Science Daily,fake laughter is controlled by the same brain system that controls the lips and tongue.Bryant further explained that this system has active ability,saying “with this speech system,you can make a lot of different noises,including crying,
laughter or scream.That’s where fake laughter comes from”.
So that’s something to think about:next time one of your friends’ laughs at something you say,will you be able to tell if it’s real or fake
32.What did the study find
A.Real laughter is produced from people’s heart.
B.People can tell real laughter from fake laughter.
C.People have trouble recognising real laughter.
D.Laughter is a kind of universal body language in the world.
33.Why are residents of the Samoan Islands accurate in identifying natural laughter
A.They put much emotion to knowing others.
B.They often predict others’ behaviours.
C.They aren’t well educated.
D.They have a strong social relationship.
34.What characters does real laughter have
A.Clearer words.
B.Slower speed.
C.Higher sound.
D.More like a speech.
35.What can we learn about the fake laughter system
A.It controls ears and eyes.
B.It works like speech systems.
C.It encourages people to copy others.
D.It can make people produce various noises.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Greg Bryant研究发现,世界各地的人们可以通过声音中的微小差异来识别真笑和假笑。文章还说明了真笑和假笑分别具备的特点。阅读本文,有利于提升学生对笑的认识和理解。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A good laugh is like a mild workout.It exercises the muscles,gets the blood flowing,decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system.36.
Don’t take life too seriously.We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes.37. In fact,if you can laugh light-heartedly at your own fault,
you’ll find that you give yourself extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.
Find the humour in a bad situation.Sure,there are some situations where you are really sad.38. The next time you feel the stress levels rising,take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control.This will lower your blood pressure,blood sugar levels and heart rate.
Remind yourself of funny moments from the past.Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing.39. Sometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins (内啡肽),natural painkillers,to kick in.
40. As the saying goes,laughter is contagious (会传染的).So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humour in life’s situations.Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments.
A.Take control over your emotions.
B.There is no reason to blame yourself for it.
C.However,most situations in life have funny sides.
D.Surround yourself with fun people who like to laugh a lot.
E.The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life.
F.Studies show that people with pets have lower levels of depression and stress.

37.B 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据前一句可知,犯错是生活中很正常的一件事情,所以我们不要因此而责备自己。故B项符合上下文。
38.C 考查学生理解语义转折句的衔接关系的能力。根据本段的标题可知,在处境不好的情况下找到幽默的一面。再根据空前一句可知,我们要从这些令人难受的情景中找到有趣的东西。故C项符合上下文。
39.G 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据本段内容可知,我们要经常想起那些有趣的时刻,尤其是在我们悲伤难过的时候。故G项内容与本段中心思想一致。
40.D 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据空后两句可知,笑是会传染的,要多与快乐的人相处,让快乐的人来感染我们。故D项与本段中心思想一致。

Dear Peter,
I’m delighted to hear from you.You said you were planning to learn Chinese brand of humour—crosstalk.So I’m writing to tell you something about it.
The Chinese crosstalk is a form of language art,which offers amusement to the audience.Although it’s complicated and hard to perform well,you can pay attention to a few points to improve yourself.Firstly,your practice of fluent and standard oral Chinese can do the trick,which is an essential part of practice.Secondly,you need to arrange the setting properly,which can also impress the audience deeply.Last but not least,by learning from some famous crosstalk actors on the Internet and practising regularly,you will definitely make great progress.
I hope my advice can be helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals,plants and all sorts of living things.
One day while walking through the woods,the old man found a cocoon(茧).He decided to take the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later,the cocoon started to move.It moved frantically(狂乱地)!He sat and watched it struggle and struggle for several hours.But it seemed not to make any progress.Then the old man felt sorry for the little butterfly inside,and rushed to its aid.With a pair of scissors, gently,he cut a little opening in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out.And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon.It had a swollen body and small,fragile wings,but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled.Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly No,it was still moving a little bit.Maybe it was sick.Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to place it gently back into its cocoon.He did so,and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon,leaving the butterfly to nestle (处在) in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again.It struggled and struggled.Finally the butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out.Its beautiful wings were filled with wonderful colours!It took off!It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old
man’ s sight.What a joy!He exclaimed!But then he started to think:what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little butterfly out at first

One possible version:
Finally,the answer came out.The butterfly had to struggle and struggle while inside the cocoon.They strengthened their wings through the process of pushing and struggling.That’s just what they were designed to overcome in order to be strong enough to fly.However,cutting the little opening on the cocoon,the old man had denied the opportunity the butterfly needed to be strong.Naturally,it was unable to fly.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.They are part of our life journey that everyone has to go through.We develop our strength to survive the inevitable storms of life by overcoming struggles.It is struggles that make us well prepared for life in the future.Living a life with no obstacles,we will never learn to fly like the butterfly.Remember nature needs no help,just no interference.(共70张PPT)

Tang Jiezhong, one of China’s top cross-talk artists, died in Beijing on 18 June 2017.The 85-year-old had worked with a number of outstanding comedians throughout his career,including Ma Ji and Jiang Kun.
Tang made a great contribution to the Chinese cross-talk. In his performances, he played many different funny characters very vividly. For instance, he imitated different singing styles to make people laugh.My favourite Tang Jiezhong’s work is The Reverie in the Tiger’s Den with Jiang Kun. A twenty-eight lad was trapped in the tiger’s den by mistake, which caused a series of funny daydreams. And many people tried their best to rescue him. I adored their performing style and humour.
Tang dedicated his life to the cross-talk career.He performed many times in a row at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He is really a great cross-talk performer.

A survey by an international temporary service agency found that US managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs,compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact,
about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during hard times.And,what’s more,it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues.Why It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive.In fact,a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people meet important projects,they usually feel angry,hopeless or depressed.
According to Dr Trice’s research,taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really so important,then why don’t we use it more often on the job Most likely,the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.However,it is important to realise that some humour is not good for the workplace,
and that it is often used at wrong times.

Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings,and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings.
A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you,your fellow travellers and the local friends you’ve made.
Keep a journal or carry a small tape recorder and make regular entries or recordings.Taking a step back and telling an experience after some time will open the door for humour.Write a letter or e-mail to a friend when you find your humour reducing.Challenge yourself to tell at least one good story in this message and you’ll be surprised how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture,and an explanation of what you think these things are all about.Look back on these lists later in the trip; what seemed strange before is probably familiar now,and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves!Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers What travel advice would you offer
Try to see yourself through the eyes of locals.What might they find strange,funny about what you are doing at this moment When you find it difficult to overcome cultural differences,taking a new look at yourself can be very funny.Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.
