17、ork in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous fil

18、ms “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day

19、takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.

25、ple D. is well designed for TVDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at

26、a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their heads off. The main r

27、eason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them 5felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of

28、 the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a

29、joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psycholo

30、gical factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.12. What did the author find out after studying psychology

31、?A. Only good jokes make people laugh. B. Many factors lead to peoples laughing.C. Funny things can make people laugh. D. Laughter can make people healthy.13.
