The population of the capital Luxembourg City doubles every working day thanks to the flood of workers, and in the morning and evening rush hours, there often comes traffic block. It’s a familiar difficult problem but here they’ve come up with a novel solution.

From next year public transport will be free for everyone. The number of people taking the public transport is far from what is expected and so this idea has been brought up, which of course results in some argument.

This is what’s being built, a new tram system that will link trains in park-and-ride programs designed to make free public transport smooth and attractive. This is a big attempt by the Luxembourg government into whether people can be made to change the way they behave, because free public transport is great for existing commuters. But the question is whether drivers can be persuaded to change their cars and traffic jams for commuting on public transport.

The designer firmly believes the system is so good and effective. Everyone will want to use it. Everyone can use it, young or old, rich or poor, and everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. But others consider it questionable.

Taxi drivers don’t seem worried about trams stealing their trade. Businessmen who come here are never going to take public transport. They’ll take a taxi because they have meetings to get to.

So Luxembourg’s plan is really a test, and it’s one that plenty of bigger nations will be watching. As we know, the way we move around shapes our cities, our lives, our work and our environment. Luxembourg is a very small country but this could be a very big idea.

1.Why does Luxembourg City plan to make public transport free?

A.To reduce traffic jams. B.To attract more businessmen.

C.To encourage people to avoid rush hours. D.To help its citizens travel more comfortably.

2.What can we infer about the result of the plan?

A.Taxi drivers’ business will be badly affected.

B.More people will choose to drive to and from work.

C.People’s daily behavior will be completely changed.

D.Taking public transport can save money for commuters.

3.How does the designer feel about the system?

A.Hopeless. B.Concerned. C.Confident. D.Regretful.

4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A.To list the traffic problems Luxembourg faces.

B.To show how Luxembourg controls its population.

C.To give people advice on how to get around Luxembourg.

D.To introduce Luxembourg’s new public transport measure.

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, "The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are." This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative.

British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy（悲剧）. BBC's The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show's comedy comes from his delusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.

Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual.

This side of British humor is reflected in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm（挖苦）quite upsetting. She didn't realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.

This approach—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing（让人郁闷的）, but our strange humor played a big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip（坚定沉着）, the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?

There is a saying in English: "Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone." If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it's best to just laugh it off!

1.How is British humor special?

A.It is often surprising and boring.

B.It is often about negative things.

C.It often laughs at happy people.

D.It often makes happy things depressing.

2.From paragraph 2-5 we can know that　　　　　　 .

A.British people will not laugh at their good friends

B.there is a great difference between comedy and tragedy

C.stupid people are often treated well in Shakespeare's plays

D.British humor used to give people courage in face of sufferings

3.How does the author advise people to react to British humor?

A.Keep silent.

B.Cry as you like.

C.Don't take it seriously.

D.Try to hold back your laughter.
