IV 阅读理解
It is beyond embarrassing when everyone around you bursts out laughing at a joke that you do not find funny，especially if it's a joke told in a foreign language.
While Chinese students find it easy to adapt to a foreign lifestyle， socializing with locals is much harder， according to a recent study.Researchers looked at how well Chinese students integrated（融入） into communities across the world.Of all the activities they struggle with，understanding jokes is considered the toughest.
Most of the time，jokes are funny only for people who share a common cultural background or perceive humour in the same way.
Chinese?American comedian Joe Wong found this out first?hand. He had achieved huge success doing stand?up comedy in the US， but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing，he discovered that humour doesn't translate.People didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones， the Global Times reported.
British humour vs American humour
British actor and comedian Simon Pegg discussed the differences between British and American sense of humour in a column for The Guardian.He believes that while Brits use irony（反讽） on a daily basis， the Americans do not see the point of using it so frequently.He wrote：“British jokes，on the other hand，tend to be more subtle with a dark or sarcastic （讽刺的） undertone...the American jokes are more obvious and forward，a bit like Americans themselves.”
Pegg showed his point by transcribing a joke he heard a British friend make， in the wake of family tragedy.
A：I had to go to my granddad's funeral last week.
B：Sorry to hear that.
A：Don't be.It was the first time he ever paid for the drinks.
“American humour is more straightforward like the punchlines（点睛之笔）in the famous TV show Friends，”an Internet user named Zac wrote on Zhihu.“You burst out laughing immediately when you watch American humour， and then you forget about it quite quickly，but it takes time to digest English humour， and it may be funnier when you reminisce（追忆往事）about it.”
判断正（T）误（F）。
1.When he returned to China in 2008，Joe Wong discovered that humour doesn't translate.（　　）
