Almost anyone who has read a travel brochure about Africa has heard of a story ----- that elephants can get drunk by eating the fermented (發(fā)酵) marula fruit rotting (腐爛) on the ground. Books have even been written to prove the truth of the phenomenon.

But a study published in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology tells a very different story.

Steve Morris, a biologist at the University of Bristol in England and an author of the study, says there is nothing in the biology of either the African elephant or the marula fruit to support the stories. Morris says, “People just want to believe in drunken elephants.”

The marula tree, a member of the same family as the mango (芒果), grows widely in Africa. Its sweet, yellow fruit is used for making jam, wine and beer. “The first mistake of the drunken-elephant theory is that it’s unlikely that an elephant would eat the fruit if it were rotten,” Morris says. “Elephants eat the fruit right off the tree, not when it’s rotten on the ground,” he explains.

Other experts add that if an elephant were to eat the fruit on the ground, it wouldn’t wait for the fruit to ferment. Michelle Gadd, an African wildlife specialist, says that elephants and many other animals, including birds and monkeys, are too fond of marula fruit to let it rot.

If fermented fruit on the ground is out of the question, so is the concept that the fruit could ferment in the stomach of elephants, according to the study authors. Food takes between 12 and 46 hours to pass through an elephant’s digestive (消化的) system, the authors point out, which is not enough for the fruit to ferment.

Supposing that this happened, it’s still highly improbable that the food would produce enough alcohol to make an elephant drunk. Through calculations of body weight, elephant digestion rates, and other factors, the authors conclude that it would take about 1.9 litres of alcohol to make an elephant drunk.

Nobody likes an old poop (傻子). Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “l(fā)ighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle（咯咯地笑）rather than a scolding.

Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

1.If you’ve ever been told to “l(fā)ighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______.

A. you are humorous B. you are angry

C. you lack humor D. you are funny

2.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______.

A. laugh at him B. feel embarrassed

C. scold him D. chuckle

3.What is the best title for the text?

A. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

B. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

C. The Function of Humor

D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor
