Unit 1 Laughter is good for you
圣地亚哥举办首届美国笑赛。它要求参赛者互相面对面开始大笑，由观众来决定谁笑得最有感染力。
The First American Laughing Championship in San Diego
The first-ever American Laughing Championship is taking place in San Diego.The contest is the first national championship in the US，although Canadian filmmaker，Albert Nerenberg，has organised national laughing contests in Canada and Japan and a state championship in California back in 2010.The contest requires the chosen laughers to face off against each other as the audience determine who has the most attractive laugh.Daunte Reed is one of about twelve people competing in the contest.He is hoping to be a winner of the title of top laugher.“I've been told I have an attractive laugh.It doesn't take much to make me laugh，”Reed said.
The contest includes the belly laugh，the crazy laugh and the diabolical laugh.The last one is the most challenging，according to Nerenberg，who said the goal is to make the audience laugh with your laugh.“The solo laughing requires a good voice.However，the other laugh styles require someone to get the audience laughing；a good diabolical laugh requires the laugher to infect himself and start laughing naturally，”he explained.
“The person who wins isn't always the best，but the top three people are always the best.These people bring more joy to the world.They tend to be happy types.We've never had a sad person win so far，”he added.

Stand up for(支持，维护)your health!
People have always enjoyed laughing，and there has always been humour.One favourite type of comedy is called(示例)stand-up(单口喜剧)．Stand-up is a kind of comedy that is done on a stage (舞台) by a comedian (喜剧演员) talking straight to audience members.A stand-up comedian may tease (取笑) an audience member，or might decide to tell different jokes depending upon how the audience reacted to his or her previous (先前的) jokes.
欣赏单口喜剧，促进身心健康！
人们总是爱笑，幽默无时不在。有一种深受人们喜爱的喜剧形式，叫做单口喜剧。单口喜剧是一种舞台剧，由一个喜剧演员表演，演员与观众直接交流。单口喜剧演员可以拿某一位观众开玩笑，也可以根据观众的反应随机应变，讲各种笑话。
[助读讲解] ①that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a kind of comedy。 Types of stand-up There are a variety (不同种类) of different styles (风格) of stand-up comedy.Some comedians tell jokes about the way people behave (表现) or about daily life.For example，they may talk about how people act when they queue up，or they may ask why it only rains when you forget your umbrella.Other comedians rely on visual (视觉的) humour.Their humour may be inspired by objects.For example，one comedian uses a huge hammer (锤子) to break watermelons while he makes jokes about what he is doing.Another comedian points to a video tennis game and says，‘I've been playing tennis every day for a month.I don't understand why I am not losing weight！’Yet other comedians may trip over (绊倒) chairs，walk into doors，and fall down on stage in order to make people laugh.This kind of absurd humour is not very funny if you are only listening and not watching the comedian's performance(表演)．The last kind of comedian does impressions — he or she will act or speak like a well-known person in order to make fun of that person.While this kind of humour may sound cruel，it usually only works if both the comedian and the audience have affection for (钟

单口喜剧的类型
单口喜剧有很多不同的类型。有些喜剧演员拿人们的行为方式来开玩笑，或者讲有关日常生活的笑话。例如，他们可以谈论人们排队时的举动，或者问为什么偏偏在你忘记带雨伞的时候天会下雨。别的演员依靠视觉幽默，他们的幽默可以是由物品激发的。例如，某个演员一边拿着大锤子去砸西瓜，一边以此说着笑话。另一个喜剧演员指着电脑网球游戏说：“我每天都打网球，已经一个月了。我就是搞不懂，为什么体重一点也降不下来呢？”还有些演员可能玩这些把戏逗笑观众，被椅子绊倒，撞到了房门，或者跌倒在舞台上。如果你只是听而不看演员的表演，这种荒唐的幽默就不搞笑了。最后一种演员是做印象模仿的，这类演员模仿某个名人的言谈举止以取笑这个名人。这种幽默听起来可能有点刻薄，但通常只有当喜剧演员和观众都喜欢或者崇拜这个被取笑的对象时，这种幽默才奏效。

，Crystal still enjoys
stand-up.People around the world enjoy watching him when he hosts the Academy (研究院) Awards.He has hosted the show nine times.Each time，he performs (演出，表演) his stand-up routine in front of millions of people when the show is broadcast live on TV.One little-known (鲜为人知的) fact is that when Crystal is the host of the Academy Awards，he always keeps a toothbrush in his pocket for good luck.He says it is because when he started practising stand-up as a child，he told himself jokes while standing in front of the mirror，brushing his teeth.
一位著名的喜剧演员
只有为数不多的单口喜剧演员在之后的生涯中成为走红的影视明星。一个成功的例子就是比利·克里斯托。和其他转向电影表演的单口喜剧演员一样，克里斯托现在依然热爱单口喜剧。全世界的观众都喜爱看他主持的奥斯卡颁奖典礼。他曾主持过九次奥斯卡颁奖典礼。每次主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼电视直播的时候，他都会在数百万观众面前表演他的单口喜剧节目。这里有一个鲜为人知的秘密：每次主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼的时候，克里斯托总要在自己的口袋里放一把牙刷，以求得到幸运！他说，这是因为从小时候开始练习单口喜剧的时候，他就习惯于站在镜子前面，边刷牙边对自己说笑话！

[助读讲解] ⑥who引导定语从句，修饰先行词comedians。⑦that引导表语从句；从句中又含有when引导的时间状语从句。⑧says后为省略that的宾语从句，从句中含有because引导的表语从句；表语从句中when引导的是时间状语从句；又有while引导的状语从句的省略结构，brushing his teeth作伴随状语。 One reason Crystal has become so famous is that he is very quick thinking，and is often able to come up with (想出；拿出) new jokes about the people and things around him.When Crystal was the host of the 2004 Academy Awards，a very old actor，who had acted in films before they had sound，gave a speech.He talked for several minutes，but there was a technical (技术的) problem，and no one in the audience could hear him.They could only see him standing there moving his lips.Instead of telling the joke he had planned，Crystal made up a new one.He said，‘It seems appropriate that he got his start in silent films (无声电影)！’The audience howled (大叫) with laughter.
克里斯托之所以如此出名，原因之一是他思维非常敏捷，常常能就身边的人或事即兴编排笑话。当克里斯托主持2004年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼时，从无声电影时代就开始表演的老演员上台发言。老演员讲了好几分钟，但由于技术故障，观众中没有人能够听见他在说些什么，观众只能看见他站在那里，嘴唇动个不停。见此情景，克里斯托放弃了事先准备好的笑话，编了一个新的。他说：“看来，他的确适合从无声电影起家！”观众哄堂大笑。
[助读讲解] ⑨One/The reason...is that...句型，that引导的是表语从句。⑩who引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a very old actor。 Crystal is popular with all age groups and has the ability to amuse (逗笑) people all over the world.This proves that stand-up can be enjoyed by everyone.You can expect to hear a lot more from Billy Crystal — he has no plans to stop making films，or to stop telling jokes.He hopes to follow in the footsteps of other famous comedians，such as Bob Hope and George Burns，who lived to be 100 years old and kept working until nearly the end of their lives?.
克里斯托深受各年龄段人群的喜爱，他有能力逗笑全世界的人，这证明，单口喜剧能被所有人欣赏。你可以期待听到比利·克里斯托表演更多的单口喜剧——他尚无停止电影表演的打算，也没有停止讲笑话的想法。他希望效仿鲍勃·霍普和乔治·伯恩斯等著名单口喜剧明星，他们都活到了一百岁，并且一直工作到生命的最后时期。
