1 Why is Lin Yutang’s joke about the man and wild animals funny
2 Do you agree with Mark Twain’s remark on humour at the end of the passage Give your reasons.
3 How can a sense of humour help you in your daily life Give an example.
4 In what ways do the two reading passages in this unit help you to better understand the meaning of having a light-hearted attitude towards life
1 Because with the little joke, Lin was able to make people laugh, while gently telling off the president.
2 I agree with his remark for the following reasons. Firstly, humour can entertain and throw new light on sensitive or emotive issues. Secondly, humour isn’t about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate the world. Thirdly, living and working with others can sometimes be complicated, and humour makes this easier. Fourthly, sharing jokes and laughing together can bring individuals and even communities together. / I don’t agree with his remark. Humour is very important in our life, but there are still many other things vital, like wisdom, bravery.

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 (《 虎口遐想》 ) 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.
