April 23 was an unforgettable day for me. That day, I visited the Consulate General of Portugal (葡萄牙总领事馆)in Shanghai along with eighteen of my fellow reporters.
We met Nuno Lopes. He had been working as the vice-consul(副总领事)at the consulate since 2006. He is a very amiable(亲切友好的)man with a sense of humour. He enjoys living in Shanghai and he knows a lot about Chinese culture.
After we had watched two videos at the consulate, the most exciting part arrived—we could ask our questions! All of us raised our hands. Through this Q&A session, I was deeply impressed(使留下深刻印象)by the differences between China and Portugal. According to Lopes, family is very important to every Portuguese person. In China, however, an increasing(渐增的)number of people are spending more time using their smartphones than chatting with their family members. Life in Portugal is slow-paced compared to that of China. Moreover, unlike students in China, Portuguese students spend lots of their time outdoors. They don’t have many extra classes to attend.
I found Portugal to be a very fascinating(迷人的)country. I’m now looking forward to visiting it myself and truly getting to experience the charm(魅力)of its unique(独特的)culture.

六、阅读回答问题
Answer the questions.根据短文内容,回答下列问题:
The British are known for their sense of humour. However it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have understood the British sense of humour.
