10、e those who have a good sense of humor.Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brians bei
11、ng late serious illness at home he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard
12、at work. Brians boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “Im Brian. Im applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesnt the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped o
13、ff a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing,
14、 getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, its the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and r
15、eligious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.24.

17、posed to arrive at his office at 8: 30.C. It wasnt the first time that Brian came late for work.D. Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.CDifferences in time zones complicate international phone calls. But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in d
18、ifferent cultures.People from the USA as well as other North Americans believe “Time is money”. This value of time is rooted in their ancestors. Early in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land. To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggl
19、e day and night. Time meant so much to them that they had not even one second to waste. After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficient use of time and passed it down. Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective(深思熟虑的) peopl
20、e.In some countries, the American work style of speeding everything up will have no significance. In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster service you get. Close relatives take absolute priority; non-relatives are kept waiting. In the Middle East, a deadline, which is often establish
21、ed to show the degree of urgency or importance of work, will do nothing but stop the Middle Easterners from working, because they consider it rude and overly demanding.Another aspect reflecting different concepts of time is the classification of monochronic-time and polychronic-time by Edward T Hall
22、. People from monchronic(共时性的) cultures, such as the Germans, the Austrians, the Swiss and the Americans, do only one important thing at a time. In polychromic(多元时间模式的) cultures, people such as Arab, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach. They do several things at once. Time
23、commitments, e.g. deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casually and changed often and easily. Miscommuication will arise when people from two cultures contact. Charlies Hawkins, a U.S. teacher, told me that many a time his appointments with Indians were interrupted constantly, not only by private
24、phone calls, but also by long conversations with other people and even the neighbors children, which displeased and even annoyed him.28.

29、erse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Roakye the only black student on his fr
30、eshman year floor said that “if youre surrounded by whites, you have something to prove.”Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different race are more likely to experience conflicts
31、 so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. “This may be th
32、e first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race,” she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.“One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together r
33、andomly,” said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. “This is the definition of integration.”“Ive experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes,” said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that
34、 while some conflicts “provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合),” there were also “jarring cultural confrontations.”The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the st
35、udies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studies and explained.32. What can we learn from some recent studies?A.

40、f under the spotlight. Tell self-deprecating(自嘲的) jokes rather than make jokes at the expense of others. 36.

41、, youre ugly too! ”Know your audience. 37. Some people find that sensationalism causes them to laugh; others find that satire(讽刺) does the trick.
