Gallows humor(黑色幽默)seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力)and performance.
“There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”
This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale(士氣)in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?’”
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended(冒犯):Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”
“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”
1.According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________.
A. reducing pressure
B. improving performance
C. making people more creative
D. leading to a big mistake
2.What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Neutral. D. Uncertain.
3.Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with?
A. Gallows humor is the basic source of morale.
B. Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others.
C. Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose.
D. Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor.
4.When people use gallows humor, they should ________.
A. observe who is aggressive
B. show a sense of belonging
C. doubt about the result of humors
D. try to avoid irritating others
5.What can we infer from the text?
A. People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B. Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others.
C. People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D. People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.

The British----and especially the English----are bad at complaining. Because of British politeness rules, according to which conflict should be avoided, people either just do not complain, or sometimes bottle it up and then outpour it in another way in other umimportant situations. In fact, there is a TV programme which show the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly reasonable in complaining, but they don’t. In one scene, a woman reads a newspaper over people’s shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.
The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of behaviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself. This is why, when you travel on the tube in London and there is yet another delay, the passengers will look at each other, sigh, smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven. They might even say, “Huh! Typical!” in a resigned(順從的)tone of voice that says that there’s nothing that can be done about it. When complaints are made, they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice. In France ,on the other hand, angry passengers might riot(鬧事)and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London underground provides.
Americans and other Europeans, who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British, often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me” when they complain. “It’s like they’re apologizing for something that isn’t their fault, they say. They are missing the point. British people are not really sorry ---it is because the word ‘sorry’ actually works as a distancing skill. This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself. If you do not say ‘sorry’ or use other distancing words like ‘could’, ‘would’, ‘might’, ‘possibly’ and so on, you will be seen as rude.”
1.What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Put something into bottles B. Not do anything dangerous
C. Cause problems by hesitating D. Not allow emotions to be seen
2.The French tend to _______.
A. tolerate bad service B. enjoy taking the subway
C. make a complaint humorously D. express their dissatisfaction directly
3.When the British say “sorry”, they actually want to _______.
A. try not to be rude B. apologize sincerely
C. show their feelings directly D. draw attention to themselves
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How to complain B. Complaining politely
C. Poor service in Britain D. Politeness rules across the world
