What is the basis of 'sick' humor? Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humor is mysteriously connected with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.
Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humor, which comes largely from US, has recently come into fashion. It is called 'sick humor'. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious ac
cidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humor' will enable you to judge for yourself.
A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on begging his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital and missing the fun. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent a miserable day in bed sadly. The following day, however, the doctor comforted him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good.
The man took heart and sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble（蹒跚）along to a party. In order to make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
The man spent Christmas day feeling miserable because ________.
A. he thought he would miss the New Year’s Eve celebration
B. the doctor had failed to cure him
C. he hated the hospital and his roommates
D. being unable to walk, he could not enjoy himself.
The point of the joke taken to explain “sick humor” is that________.
A. the man should have said how much he hated hospitals
B. 
the man had not got a leg to stand on
C. no sooner had the man been out of hospital than he had to go back in again
D. being unable to walk, he did not enjoy the celebration
What can you learn about the man from the story?
A. The man got well soon because the doctor took good care of him.
B. He had to go to hospital again though he hated it.
C. On New Year’s Eve, the man was able to walk properly to the party.
D. At the party, he enjoyed himself but only drank a little.

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. From “Easy Street” (1917) to “Modern Times” (1936), he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp. The Little Tramp, a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane, always found himself wobbling into awkward situations and strangely wobbling away. More than any other figure, it is this kind-hearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies (sound films).
Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907. Appearing as “Billy” in the play “Sherlock Holmes”, the young Chaplin toured the country twice. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films. In 1914 Chaplin made his first one-reeler, “Making a Living”. That same year he made thirty-four more short films, including “Caught in a Cabaret”, “Caught in the Rain”, “The Face on the Bar-Room Floor”, and “His Trysting Place”. These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy, and Chaplin was a master at it.
Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era, we see his achievements carried through in the films of today. With the appearance of the feature-length talkies, the need for more subtle acting became apparent. To maintain the audience’s attention throughout a six-reel film, an actor needed to move beyond constant comedy. Chaplin had demanded this depth long before anyone else. His strictness and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new, more sophisticated, cinema.
【小题1】Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．“The little Tramp” was the only character that Charlie Chaplin acted. |
| B．Charlie Chaplin signed to Keystone Studios in 1906. |
| C．Charlie Chaplin made five short films in 1914. |
| D．Charlie Chaplin has a great effect on today’s sound film. |
| A．lovable | B．kind-hearted | C．strict | D．awkward |
| A．Life of Chaplin | B．Works of Chaplin |
| C．Characters of Chaplin | D．An introduction of Chaplin |
