　　Dr Wiseman started“the laugh lab”project in September 2001．It is the largest study of humour．Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people．

　　The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke．But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny．And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor．The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh．

　　This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers．Most of the time, people are not completely honest．We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want．But laughing cannot be controlled．When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves．

　　By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交)．This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions．It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance．

　　“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,”said Dr Wiseman．“Males use humor to appear superior(優(yōu)越的)to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play．”

　　Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor．The British enjoy what is usually called“toilet humor”．But the French like their jokes short and sharp：“You’re a high priced lawyer．Will you answer two questions for ＄500?”“Yes．What’s the second question?”

　　The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor．But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality．Perhaps that proves the point．Is this joke funny?I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe．

　　Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer．But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing．Perhaps this is relief．Computers already seem like they can do everything．At least they should leave the funny stuff to us．

Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it cheaper by making the words shorter. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words (2 =" to," 3 =" free," 4 =" for," 8 =" ate," so h8 =" hate," etc.). You can also keep away from using punctuation (標點).       Here is an example: Do U wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnite (Do you want to go to the cinema tonight?)

What do you think these text messages mean?

Whr hv U bn? Iv bn wtng hrs fr a cll.

Im hm nw, why nt gv me a cll.

I gt a txt mssge frm my frnd. Shes hvng a prty on Strdy.

Mobile phone users have developed a group of symbols (符號) to show how they feel. They are called emoticons, and there are some examples below. To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message that is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face.

1.Why are text messages popular?

A．Because they are expensive.

B．Because they are cheap.

C．Because they are hard to write.

D．Because they are not important.

2.The first paragraph tells us that we can make the text messages shorter in             ways.

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．four

A．Do you want to come

B．Do you wear two caps

C．Do you want two cakes

D．Do you go home early

4.Why do people use emoticons?

A．Because they can show how users feel.

B．Because the symbols are beautiful.

C．Because text messages are short.
