The Americans have been voted the world’s “funniest nationality” ---the one “best at making people laugh” ---in a global poll (民意调查), which also names the Germans the “least funny” nationality and the British “not as funny as they think”.
30,000 people across 15 countries were asked to name both the “funniest” and “least funny” nationality in a poll conducted by Badoo.com, the world’s largest social network for meeting new people, with 119 million users worldwide.
The Americans were voted the funniest nationality, ahead of the Spanish --- the funniest Europeans --- in second, Italians in third and British in seventh.
The voting for the “least funny” nationality confirmed the view of America’s Mark Twain that “a German joke is no laughing matter”. The Germans won, ahead of the Russians and Turks. The stereotype of German humourlessness is believed to derive from their reputation for efficiency, punctuality and rationality(理性). Examples of German jokes include: “Yesterday, I met my friend Horst at the hospital. He’d swallowed a sponge. He says it doesn’t hurt but he’s always thirsty.”
“When we meet someone new, one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Marketing Director. “America is a worthy poll winner”, says Price. “It’s the world’s only comedy superpower.”
The British pride themselves on their humour but learn from the poll that they’re not as funny as they think. They placed just seventh of 15 --- behind the Brazilians, French and Mexicans.
1.According to the poll, which is the right order from the funniest nationality to the least funny one?
A．Spanish, Americans, French, Mexicans, British
B．Americans, Spanish, Italians, Brazilians, French
C．British, Mexicans, Brazilians, Spanish, Americans
D．Italians, French, British, Mexicans, Brazilians
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The poll was conducted among 119 million people by Badoo. com.
B．Spanish are the funniest nationality in Europe.
C．That Germans are named the “least funny” nationality is because of Mark Twain.
D．Some people think that British are funny while others think the opposite in the poll.
3.Which can be the substitute of the word “derive” in the fourth paragraph?
A．acquire B．suffer C．translate D．accomplish
4.What is the author’s purpose of telling us a German joke?
A．The author wants to show that Germans are good at telling jokes.
B．The author wants to confirm what Mark Twain said.
C．The author wants to prove that Germans are not funny at all.
D．The author just wants to say that swallowing a sponge is no harm.
5.It seems that the best title for this passage is ______.
A．The Funniest Nationality
B．A Global Poll Conducted by Badoo.Com
C．Americans Won the Funniest Nationality
D．Americans Voted “Funniest Nation”, Germans “Least Funny”

When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly. A mother? Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.
At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m. to talk about it,” she says. “She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”
As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.
A TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about commitment. I don’t see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time hasn’t passed.”
This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship. With Erika’s family 200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Erika feels that because she no longer sees her family every day, she now enjoys a closer relationship with her best friend. Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”
1.According to the passage, a late-night phone call for most women is probably from .
A. a friend B. a relative
C. a stranger D. a doctor
2.TV shows like Friends tell us that .
A. marriages with friends often end up in failure

A. live far away from each other
B. have been friends for 32 years
C. spend a lot of time explaining things

4.Which of the statements will the author probably agree with?
A. A near friend is more helpful than a faraway relative.
B. Both marriage and friendship demand commitment.
C. However far away we’re, parents worry about us.
D. Long distance makes the hearts closer.
