More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greekphilosopher Aristotle defined (定義)jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph byshowing we're better than someone else in a certain way.According to Aristotle and many other philosophers, all jokes depend mainly on showinginferiority in another person or group of persons that is, putting it clearly, on showing that theyare worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes.Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of actionthat is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on abanana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society.This is probably the reason why some of the jokes, especially those involving cruelty, are sopopular with certain people.Besides, all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and outof place because it's different from things which are happening around it. The same situation canbe either sad or pleasant, depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in abathing suit falls into a swimming pool, we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened.But if a man in a smart suit falls in, the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and welaugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected untilsomething unexpected suddenly happens, and so we laugh.36. The underlined word “inferiority” (in Paragraph 1) means.A. something that is not as good as something elseB. something that is better than something elseC. someone that is not as good as someone elseD. someone that is better than someone else37. According to Aristotle, all jokes depend mainly on.A. showing inferiority in another person or groupB. resulting in a sense of successC. having a good opinion of other peopleD. making people laugh unexpectedly38. What?s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.B. When people are angry, they would like to hear jokes.C. People who like jokes are usually cruel.D. To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes.39. What will a good joke-teller always try to do?A. Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.B. Make different things happen at the same time.C. Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.D. Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.
