I see her send you a ‘KISS’ before you begin your speech.”The speaker smiled and explained, “You don’t know my wife. The ‘KISS’ she gives me stands for ‘Keep It Short, Stupid.’”有意思吗?你若觉得没意思,可能是因为你没有完全听懂。做下面一道题测试一下:1. The speaker’s wife is ______.A. stupid B. interesting C. careless D. angry高手二:Mr. Henry Beecher entered Plymouth Church one Sunday and found several letters waiting for him. He opened one and found it contained the single word “Fool”. Quietly and with some seriousness he announced to the congregation the fact in these words: “I have known many instances of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, but this is the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter.”这可真是真正的高级幽默,猜一猜:2. What kind of person Henry Beecher is?A. He is very careless and foolish. B. He is very smart and wise.C. He is very poor and serious. D. He is very sad and nervous. 高手三:Here I’ve an interesting joke: The preacher was somewhat angry because a certain member of his congregation always fell asleep during the sermon. As the man was sleeping in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So, in a whisper, he asked the congregation. “All who want to go to heaven, please rise.” Everyone got up except the sleeper. After whispering “Be seated”, the minister shouted at the top of his voice, “All those who want to be with the devil, please rise.” Awaking with a start, the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit, “Well, sir,” he said, “I don’t know what we’re voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it.”这也是一个充满智慧的幽默,能明白其幽默所在吗?请做下面一题:3. At the end of the joke, the ______ was fooled.A. preacher B. sleeper C. riser D. listener场景二 在Hillson宾馆服务台(下面是导游小姐与宾馆服务员的对话): A: Welcome to Hillson Hotel. Can I help you?B: Yes.
