18、en used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to 4make fun of themselves as well as others.

19、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. Whats more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) ab
20、out 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 doesnt talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people

25、all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule -
26、wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers(阻碍); school uniforms tear those barriers down.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their childrens “creativity”. First, as n
27、oted above , the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality(个性). 5They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While theyre in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and math; this should take
28、 up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purpose and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the
29、 symbol(象征 ) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearers meets.

33、ples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚 ). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer - which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet -used the title in 2008. A lovely bear - popular in the
34、 US and UK - that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of Londons Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into u
