部编版五年级语文下册第八单元主题阅读幽默感今天看电视时,我发现儿子居然说得出每位体育明星的名字,甚至连他们的家庭生活也知之甚详,便开玩笑地问:“喂!请问迈克尔·乔丹的电话是多少?”儿子居然反问:“对不起,爸爸!我不知道,但打听很久了。
你知道吗?快告诉我!”我大笑了起来,惊讶地发现,儿子居然有了幽默感。
在许多国家里,有幽默感是对人极高的赞赏。
幽默是智慧的火花,是瞬间的灵思。
幽默的语言可能化解尴尬的场面,也可能于谈笑间有警示的作用,更可能作为不露声色的自卫与反击。
换句话说,幽默是巧妙解决问题的法宝。
譬如在某国家的议会里,曾发生过议员之间争斗的事,有人提议入场者应该把拐杖挂在门口。
议长觉得左右为难,若是表决,无论结果如何,总是不愉快的。
于是他急中生智,笑着说:“如果为了防止不正当的动作,就须把拐杖挂在会场门口,那嘴也该挂在门口,手脚也该摆在保管处。
”引得全场大笑,提议者也在一笑之间摆脱了尴尬的处境。
又譬如伏尔泰总是赞赏某人的作品,而那个人却总是刻薄地批评伏尔泰,当有人向伏尔泰说出这件事时,他只是一笑:“我们双方都弄错了!”不过短短几个字,就用幽默化解了尴尬的场面,又作了有力的反击。
但是我必须强调,幽默并不是讽刺,它或许带有温和的嘲讽,却不刺伤人;它可能是以别人和自己为幽默对象,在这当中,便显示了幽默者与被幽默者的胸襟与自信。
我曾经看过一个秃头者,在别人对他的头发幽默时,当场变了脸。
这一方面可能是因为对方的幽默不得体,刺伤了他,更可能是因为他原本对秃头就有极大的自卑。
相反地,我也见过一位秃头的报纸主编,当别人笑称他聪明透顶时,他居然笑着回答:“你小观我也,我早就聪明‘绝顶’了!”你想,若不是他有相当的自信,又怎么可能接着别人的话,幽自己一默呢?所以,越是开放而富裕的社会,人们越富有幽默感;越是胸襟宽广、充满智慧的人们,越富有幽默感。
看来,一个幽默者最重要的条件是拥有完满健全的人格。

伊森阅读理解搞笑全文共四篇示例,供您参考第一篇示例:一、引言伊森是一个十分有趣的学生,虽然在学习上不算太出色,但他总能带来许多欢乐和笑声。

下面就让我们一起来看看伊森的搞笑阅读理解故事吧!二、故事一某天,老师要求同学们做一篇阅读理解题,题目是:“小明去买苹果,他买了10个红苹果,8个绿苹果,共花费20元,请问每个红苹果多少钱,每个绿苹果多少钱?”伊森看了一眼题目,嘴角露出一丝微笑,然后又在纸上写下了这样一段回答:“小明买苹果是因为他喜欢吃苹果,他喜欢吃苹果因为苹果有很多营养,所以吃苹果对身体好,但是小明应该注意不要吃太多苹果,因为吃太多苹果会上火,对身体不好。
”老师看了伊森的回答,忍不住笑了出来,全班也跟着笑成一团。
三、故事二有一次,老师在课堂上给学生们出了一个阅读理解题:“一只小鸟从树上摔下来,摔倒在了地上,然后又飞走了,请根据这个故事回答问题:小鸟为什么会摔下来?”伊森在纸上写道:“小鸟摔下来是因为它忘记了它是一只鸟,而飞走是因为它突然想起了自己是一只鸟。
”同学们看了伊森的回答,纷纷笑到不行,老师也没忍住笑了出来。
四、故事三一天,老师出了一道题目:“如果小猪说‘我是一只小猪’,那么它说的是真话吗?”伊森的回答是:“小猪说‘我是一只小猪’肯定是真话,因为别人都喊它小猪,所以它说这句话肯定是真的。
”这个回答让全班都笑翻了,老师也忍不住笑了出来。
五、总结伊森总是能给大家带来欢乐,他的搞笑阅读理解让人忍俊不禁。
尽管他的回答并不符合题意,但却充满了幽默和妙趣,让人忍不住感叹他的想象力和幽默感。
或许在学习的道路上,我们不仅要追求正确与完美,有时也要学会欣赏与包容,每个人都有属于自己独特的一面,正是因为这些独特,我们的世界才变得如此多姿多彩。
伊森的搞笑阅读理解不仅让人忍俊不禁,更教会了我们在学习中保持一颗快乐的心。
希望伊森能一直保持着这份童心,继续给大家带来欢乐。
部编版五年级语文下册第八单元《阅读理解》专项训练(含答案)一、现代文阅读盲人提灯笼“盲人提灯笼”本是一则笑话,指一个人做事没用大脑想,尽是做些多此一举的事。
最近我从朋友那儿得到了新诠释。
这位朋友是这么说的:有一个盲人在夜晚走路时,手里总是提着一个明亮的灯笼,别人看了很好奇,就问他:“你自己看不见,为什么还要提灯笼走路?”那盲人满心欢喜地说:“这个道理很简单,我提灯笼并不是为自己照路,而是让别人容易看到我,不会误撞到我,这样就可以保护自己的安全,也等于帮助自己。
”有一次,我搭朋友的车,就借花献佛,再将这则故事叙述一遍与他分享。
朋友听后,颇有同感,又以自己的实际经验加以佐证。
他说:“以前我开车经过隧道,总是不喜欢开车灯。
一来隧道不长,里面的光线还不差;二来嫌麻烦,认为实在没有必要开开关关。
不料有一天被迎面而来的大卡车撞了个正着,险些命丧黄泉。
后来我才觉悟到,开车灯是给对方看的,因为车子经过隧道,对方是从亮处进入暗处,视觉难免调整不过来,加上对面来车不开灯,那实在太危险了……”世上的朋友,在漫漫的人生道路上,自己走路是多么孤寂与危险,旦夕祸福,没有人知道你从何出来,又往何出去。
假如能学学提灯笼的盲人,为别人照路,也照亮自己。
时时帮助和关怀别人,别人也就帮得到你,所谓“为善至乐”,就是这个意思吧。
1.“盲人提灯笼”是歇后语,其下句是:_________________。
2.下面词语中的加点字在文中具体指的是什么?请写下来。
(1)借花.献佛.花:______________。
佛:______________。
(2)为善.至乐.善:______________。
乐:______________。
3.点明全文主题的话是:_______________________。
4.文中盲人的故事对“盲人提灯笼”做了怎样的诠释?请简要回答。
___________________________________5.根据全文的写作目的,想想文章的深刻含义,在下面三项中选一个恰当的做标题……()A.照亮别人B.盲人提灯笼C.保护自己,方便他人二、阅读理解能言善辩的孔融东汉文学家孔融,是个博学的人。
五年级下册阅读练习题《幽默感》含答案①那个夏天,我跟一只名叫“金”的大猩猩呆在一起,每当我抓住它的脚趾轻轻一捏,它就会抖着肩膀,爆发出一阵刺耳的大笑。
除了人类,其他动物有幽默感吗?从某种意义上看,答案是肯定的;从另一个层面上看却是否定的。
过去十年里,比较领域里的一些重大发现显示,大鼠也会笑,贾克·潘克塞普的研究提供了大量证据。
他研究的课题是啮齿类动物“在玩闹行为中是否产生愉悦的社交体验,其原始形式的笑是否为一种重要的、增进社交的情感交流成分”。
首先发现的是大鼠真正的笑声和人类差别很大:从一个吸气声开始,每隔相同时间爆发出一系列5千赫兹的超声波“吱吱”声;而人发笑是呼出气体,从一个“h”音开始,紧接一个元音“ā”,且喉咙能产生强烈共振。
②潘克塞普和助手系统地开展了多项实验,结果发现,在功能性和表达方式上,大鼠都和人类儿童的笑声有显著共性。
大鼠似乎很怕痒,越怕痒的大鼠,通常也是群体里最爱玩的;挠痒能增进与大鼠的联系:被挠过的大鼠会主动寻找曾给它挠痒的手。
如果面临恶劣的环境条件,大鼠的笑会明显减少。
如果有两只“性格”不同的成年鼠,那么幼鼠呆在喜欢吱吱发笑的成年鼠身边的时间会更长。
这些显然不能只归结于愉悦的生理体验了。
但潘克塞普对实验结果的解读,遭到了其他科学家的质疑,但他坚信:“我们有证据和理由提出这一谨慎假设:幼鼠打闹时发出的吱吱声和人类婴儿的笑声,在进化上有某种联系。
”③不但某些动物会笑,而且笑也是它们的天性。
不过,潘克塞普也承认,它的发现并不表示大鼠也有“幽默感”。
大鼠发出的吱吱笑声就如同婴儿被母亲抚摸身体时的咿呀声或被挑逗时的咯咯笑声,不能与人的“幽默感”同日而语;尤其成人的幽默感,作为高级的社交体验和增进社交的情感手段,似乎是人类独有的特质,需要一定的认知能力。
其他动物是否具备这种能力还有待研究,但他认为证实这个问题并不难:“如果说猫是鼠一生的痛,那么当猫发生意外时,比如当猫掉入陷阱,或被揪着尾巴扔出去时,大鼠会不会心花怒放,会不会‘吱吱’地笑出来呢?”有人真做了这样的实验,大鼠目睹后却无动于衷。

大学英语四级阅读理解试题是试卷中分值最重的题型,为了提高大家的阅读水平,下面是我为大家带来,希望对大家的学习有所帮助!英语四级长篇阅读基础练习题:Why I Became a Teacher: to Pass on My Love of LiteratureA) Like lots of people, I never thought Id be a teacher when I was at school. To be honest l only did my training because my husband was on a four-year course and 1was on a three-year course at Cardiff University so I wanted to do something for one year. I thought doing a teaching qualification would be interesting and might be quite use full Im convinced that nothing else I might have done would have given me so much pleasure and satisfaction, or fitted in so well with family life.B) When I retire, in just a few years time, I can look back ona career which made a positive difference to the lives of thousands of children. Few other career choices can be so rewarding, so if you have a love of your subject and want the opportunity to pass that on then teaching can be a great career.C) Anyone going into teaching now will be used to teaching to formal work schemes and observation. I think it has raised standards in the profession but personally I feel the loss in the classroom. Ive got the confidence of 30 years experience. Ive seen new approaches come and go (and sometime even identical "new ideas" come and go more than once).D) For me, its the passion for your subject and interest in the success of your students that matters more than how all the acronyms (首字母缩略词) add up. This is what will make you a good teacher. Theres still room for individuals but you have to have the confidence and passion for your subject to make it work.E) The major challenge in teaching is time. Theres not enough of it. Its hard if youre working full time to cope with the marking and feel Eke you have enough time to do your job properly. Ive worked part time ever since I had children. I officially work three days a week--trot on my two days off I always work, it probably all adds up to what counts as a full weeks work in most other jobs but the pay isnt bad so you can work part time and then the job really doesfit in with family life. There are shortcuts to save time, and if had to work part time Id have to use. them. But working part time gives me the luxury, to be a critical marker. It can take two hours to mark a 3,000 word A level essay, so if you have 16 pupils thats32 hours of marking in one week for just one class.F) One of the benefits of being a part-time teacher is that I do have time to mark properly. Sometimes my feedback is almost as long as their essay but 1 really want the kids to do well. One of the best things about teaching is you get to raise childrens aspirations, and to make a difference in their lives. You get visits and emails from your old students to prove it! Its great to make the difference, and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile.G ) The core of teaching is the subject and the pupils. We have a lot of NQTs and PGCE students coming to our school and sometimes I must admit to being disappointed when students dont know their subjects that well. I had an NQT who was teaching Animal Farm and asked me "Whats Marxism?" --and shed got a first in her degree so it just goes to show that government initiatives to try and attract those with firsts arent necessarily going work.H) However. lots of people drop out of teaching after a couple of years, it is an exhausting job. So my advice to those just starling out is:I) Dont lose your sense of proportion over things that happen in the classroom or in an observation that doesnt go well. As long as in the higger picture of things you are connecting with kids and the subject--then dont get frustrated. Even after 30 years of teaching everyone has fearful days in teaching, he you think: "Can I really do this?"Youve got In keep positive; its only a problem if you gel mute bad days than good days.J)Make sure leaching doesnt overwhelm you. You have Io develop strategies especially if you are teaching a subject which requires a lot of marking. So plan things well. Get your pupils to do peer marking, which really can work. If you know you just cant handle any more marking in a particular week, get pupi!s to write a speech and then perform it in the next class. Youve got to think ahead about times of maximum workload and plan accordingly--ask your more experienced colleagues for adviceK)Youve got to keep your sense of burnout, which is a great v, ay of relieving a,situation. I know I became a better teacher when I became a parent. I realised that kids can be so unpleasant sometimes, even your own kids. They dont mean it; theyre just being kids. It doesnt mean they bate you or hate your lessons, When youre a new teacher coming into teaching, especially if you are young, you think of the students as almost your adversaries (对手), antiyouve got-to defeat them. But youve got to be, careful what you say. You cant belittle them too much or you can really harm them.L) Love your subject. If you are going to succeed in secondary school leaching you must love your subject. The kids really know if you do or dont.M) You have to know your students are individuals, they learn in different ways. You have to be sensitlive to that.N ) You cant just teach to a formula. 1 do worry about the diffcuence between lip service to what the government say its supposed to be like and what its really like. I do hate the untrnthfulness of that and the gulf seems to widen more anti more. It feels likewhat matters most is whats tested. The trouble is nothing that is really worthwhile canbe tested. are the love of learning, connection with literature, having empathy ( 移情作用 )--these are the things that really make a difference to someones life but of course they cant be tested. Young teachers have to he eareful not to get lost in fimnulas and initiatives. A more experienced teacher will have confidence to respond to kids anti to talk about an issue thats raised in class thats not on the plan. The children will learn so much from that but theres no box to tick.1. Keeping sense of humor rather than belittling your students can help relieve a situation.2. Teachers should not teach to a formula because what cannot be tested may really matter to a students life.3. For the author, the main challenge in teaching is that theres no enough time.4. For teachers faced with a lot of marking, one strategy is to get pupils involved in peer marking.5. When dealing with things that happen in the classroom, teachers are advised to decide priorities.6. Working part time enables the author to mark students assignments properly.7. The author believes she has received most satisfaction from teaching as a career.8. Students can tell whether a teacher loves his subject or not.9. The author thinks that teaching to formal work schemes and observation can make a loss in the classroom.10. According to the author, passion for a subject and interest in students success will make a good teacher.1.K) 【题干译文】保持幽默感比贬低学生更能缓解课堂上的突发状况【定位】由题干中的sense ol humor,belittling you students和relieve a situation定位到原文K)段第一句:Youve got to keep your sense of humour.which is a great way of relieving a situation.和最后一句:You cant belittle them too much 01"vou Carl really harmthem.【精解】K)段第一句提到,幽默感是缓解突发状况的妙方。

文学作品专题训练----幽默效果一、阅读下面的文字,完成各题。
幽默家自白[美]欧•亨利一个毫无痛苦的疾病,在我身上持续潜伏了二十五年,接着突然发作了,人们说我得了这种病。
但是,他们不称它为麻疹,而称它为幽默。
五金公司里的职员们凑份子买了一个银墨水台,祝贺经理的五十寿辰。
我被推选为发言人,说了一段准备了一星期之久的短短的贺词。
这番话非常成功,全是警句、双关语和可笑的谐音梗,经理居然咧开了嘴,职员们马上顺水推舟,哄堂大笑。
我作为幽默家的名声,就是那天早晨开始的。
我的声誉逐渐传开,我成了当地的“名人”。
当地的日报经常引用我的言论。
社交集会上,我是不可或缺的人。
一家著名周刊的编辑给我来了一封信。
他建议我写一篇幽默的文章,还暗示说假如效果令人满意,他准备每期都刊登一个专栏。
我照办了。
两星期后,他提出与我签订一个合同,报酬比公司给我的薪水高得多。
我辞职了,同事们为我设宴送别。
我在宴会上的讲话非常精彩,报纸全文发表了。
我进行得很顺利,产品就像五金那么源源不断。
我在周刊上的专栏引起了重视,批评家们私下议论说我是幽默界的新秀。
我向别的刊物投稿,大大增加了收入。
我找到了这一行的诀窍。
我可以抓住一个有趣的念头,写成两行笑话,挣一块钱。
稍稍改头换面,完全可以拉成四行,使产值增加一倍。
假如翻翻行头,加一点韵脚装饰和一幅漂亮的插图,便成了一首诙谐的讽刺诗,你根本无从辨认它的本来面目。
然而六个月之后,我的幽默仿佛逐渐枯竭了。
双关妙语和隽永辞令不再脱口而出。
有时,我恐慌于没有材料。
我开始注意朋友们的谈话,希望从中汲取一些可用的东西。
只要他们嘴里漏出一句机警的话,一个风趣的比喻,或者一些俏皮的言语,我便像狗抢骨头似地扑上去。
我的朋友们都以怜悯和惊讶的眼光看待我。
我已经判若两人。
以前我向他们提供了消遣和欢乐,如今我却在剥削他们。
笑话太宝贵,我可不能免费奉送。
我成了寓言中的可悲的狐狸,老是夸奖我的朋友们——乌鸦——的歌唱,指望他们嘴里能掉下我觊觎的诙谐的碎屑。

(The Most Important of All Human Qualities is a Sense of Humor)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, ‘Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.’A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be singled out a s man’s most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative – these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1.The most important of all human qualities is[A] a sense of humor.A sense of satire.[C] A sense of laughter.[D] A sense of history.2.The author m entions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because[A] they can amuse people.Human beings are different from animals.[C] They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal.[D] They show that people have the same ability to laugh.3.One of the chief functions of irony and satire is[A] to show absurdity of actions.to redress balance.[C] to take the wind out of politicians.[D] to show too much grimness in the world.4.What do we learn from the sentence ‘it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in totalitarian regimes?’[A] It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.It can arouse people to riot.[C] It shows tragedy and comedy are related.[D] It can make people laugh.5.Who is Swift?[A] A novelist.A poet.[C] A dramatist.[D] A essayist.Vocabulary1.devoid 没有,缺乏2.plague n.瘟疫,惹人苦恼的人和事v.给……造成麻烦,苦痛,困难3.faction 派别ic stereotype 可笑/滑稽的模式mentator (集注)作者,评论员,解说员6.tinkle n.一连串的丁零声,电话声,v.使发出丁零声7.fanatic 狂热者(尤指宗教、政治的狂热)8.lop-sided 不均匀的9.hover 飞翔,回旋;彷徨10.somber 低沉的,暗淡的,严峻的11.redress 订正,补偿12.pompous 自大的,浮夸的13.arrogant 傲慢的14.proportion 均衡,均匀,平衡,比例15.Lilliputian 微型的,微小的,源自《格列佛游记》中的小人国里的人16.totalitarian 极权主义的17.regime 政体,政权,统治方式或制度难句译注1.

幽默感
在许多国家,有幽默感的人会受到更高的赞赏。
幽默是智慧的火花,是瞬间的灵思。
幽默的语言有时可能化解尴尬的场面,也可能于谈笑间有警世的作用,更可能作为不露声色的自卫和反击。
①譬如在某国家的议会里,曾发生过议员之间争斗的事,有人提议入场者应该把拐杖挂在门口。
议长觉得左右为难,若是表决,无论结果如何,总是不愉快的。
于是他急中生智,笑着说:“如果为了防止不正当的动作,就须把拐杖挂在会场门口,那嘴也该挂在门口,手脚也该摆在保管处。
”引得全场大笑,提议者也在一笑之间摆脱了尴尬的处境。
但是必须强调,幽默并不是讽刺,它或许带有温和的嘲讽,却不刺伤人;它可能是以别人和自己为幽默对象,在这当中,便显示了幽默与被幽默的胸襟与自信。
②有一个秃头者,在别人对他的头发幽默时,当场变了脸,这一方面可能是因为对方幽默不得体,刺伤了他,更可能是因为他原来对秃头有极大的自卑。
相反地,③另一位秃头的报纸主编,当别人笑称他聪明透顶时,他居然笑着回答:“你小观我也,我早就聪明‘绝顶’了!”你想,若不是他有相当的自信,又怎么可能接别人的话,幽自己一默呢?
所以,越是胸襟宽广,充满智慧的人们,可能就越富有幽默感。
