Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is,not surprisingly,his sense of humor. As far as I can tell,he's the first American President to have one.
That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies.In the eighteen-forties and fifties,it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that“sense of humor" has today. Back then,what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑).Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand.Of course,they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.
Lincoln’s humor was very different because,for one thing,it was actually "humor"as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit(风趣)”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did.Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic.It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“laughing at.”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at.”And when“laughing at,”it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates,when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced,Lincoln replied,referencing his plain looking,“Honestly,if I were two-faced,would I be showing you this one?”And,in a way,Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians,soldiers,and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile.
True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult.Yet Lincoln alone,as far as I can tell,overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor,or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time,in the nineteenth century,too much humor was considered problem. And that was the case for Lincoln.A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man,owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes,anecdotes,and stories.”
1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that__
A .the American President could influence the use of English
B. the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s
C .what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else
D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time
2.The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to__.
A. Lincoln's unattractive face
B. Lincoln's sense of humor
C. the debate they were having
D.cruelty that went with funniness
3.We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because_.
A. being humorous was considered inappropriate
B. they found it quite funny to smile before camera
C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion
D. photography technology then was not advanced
4.What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates?
A. His comment accurately reflected his time
B. He created a false picture of Lincoln
C. He was prejudiced and self-centered
D. He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

Once on a dark winter's day,when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night,an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.
Sara Crewe leaned against her father,who held her in his arms,as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father,Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun,and then in the middle of the ocean,and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.
“Papa,” she said in a low,mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.
“What is it,darling?”Captain Crewe answered,holding her closer and looking down into her face.
"Is this the place?"Sara whispered.
"Yes,little Sara,it is. We have reached it at last.”
It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”,as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born,so she had never known or missed her.Her young,handsome,rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her,and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children,and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
"Couldn't you go to that place with me,Papa?"she had asked when she was five years old.
"Couldn't you go to school,too? I would help you with your lessons.”
"But you will not have to stay for a very long time,little Sara,”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”
She had liked to think of that.She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world,and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it,she must make up her mind to go.She liked books more than anything else,and was, in fact,always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big,dull square in which stood the house which was their destination.
1.The story happened_______.
A. on a moonless night B. on a foggy day
C. on a hot day D. on a starry night
2.Sara Crewe came to England to_______
A. visit her relatives B. see her mother's house
C. receive education D. buy books for her father
3.We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______.
A. sceptical B. curious C. cheerful D. imaginative
