Television shows like The Daily Show have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隱喻地) airplaneing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course，politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy selfimage.On the topic of selfimage，Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song Dont Cha as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗)and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皺紋) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasnt aware of.With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.語篇解讀一種文化的價(jià)值能通過其幽默感表現(xiàn)出來。本文作者介紹了自己幽默的看法，并決定用幽默的態(tài)度來面對(duì)生活。1Hobbes believed that humor_.Awas only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel betterBresulted in narrowmindedness of human beingsChad the power to mirror personal glory and national valuesDwas for people to view the world from another angle解析：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知，Thomas Hobbes不喜歡幽默，并從他的話中“Laughter is nothing.better than others.”可知。2What is the authors attitude towards political humor?AWorried.BDisappointed.CCurious.
