Making sense of how the US shows humor
Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak
One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[
He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs. 
小題1:The man in the square was _______________.
A．teaching people how to give a speech
B．calling on people to protect the environment
C．giving a singing show in public
D．criticizing the US government
小題2:What does the underlined word “hypocrite” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．會唱歌的人B．真誠的人C．虛偽的人D．愛護(hù)環(huán)境的人
小題3:From Paragraph 6, we learn that_________________.
A．many US people like to laugh at others
B．many US people are friendly and humorous
C．the US people get angry at others easily
D．the writer doesn’t like the way the US people speak
小題4:Which is Not suitable for the passage?
A．The writer went to America and protect the environment.
B．Americans show humour in a different way from China.
C．It’s easy to find culture shock when you are in a new place.
D．Tailor Swift is an American famous singer.
小題5:What does the article mainly talk about?

He ordered the construction（修建）of a causeway of a stronger and taller dyke to solve the drought problem. The lives of local people improved over the following years. Then Bai Juyi had more free time to enjoy the beauty of West Lake. He visited West Lake almost every day. This causeway was later named after Bai Di in Bai Juyi's honor.

People have their own ways of saying things with their own special expressions. Some of these expressions are easy to understand. “As Easy as Falling off a Log (圓木)” is one such expression. It describes a job that does not take much effort. If you ever tried to walk on a falling tree log, you may understand what the expression means. It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.
There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy to understand as falling off a log. One is “Easy as Pie.” Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet juicy pie, unless it is a piece of cake. “A Piece of Cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.
Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel (桶)”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a river. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log.
Sometimes, things that come to us easily also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression “Easy Come Easy Go”. Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might ask her husband to go easy on their son, because the boy did not mean to destroy the toy. If you want to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “Easy Touch”. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and helpful.
And there is one more expression that means do not worry or work too hard. Try to keep away from difficult situations. “Take it easy”, until we meet again.
小題1:Which of the following expressions has the same meaning with “As easy as falling off a log?”
A．Shooting fish in a barrelB．Walking on a falling tree log.
C．Staying on a log D．Shooting fish in a river
小題2:A friend might tell you that his new job was___________.
A．easy come easy goB．a(chǎn)s easy as shooting fish in a barrel
C．to take it easy D．to go easy on a person
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．That he goes easy on me means that he is angry with me.
B．He is always helping others, so he is an easy touch.
C．When he asks me to repair his broken bike, I say, “A piece of cake. I can help repair it.”
D．When a girl loses her way, I say, “Take it easy, I will send you home.”
