Dubai has become one of the top destinations for tourists. It's considered as the tourism centre in the region. You will find everything you can expect in Dubai ranging from deserts to beautifully built malls. People from around the world visit Dubai for enjoying its wonders.
If you are in Dubai, avoid driving yourself. There are various reasons for this. Firstly, Dubai has strict laws and if you haven't a driving license you might be up the creek. Secondly, Dubai is considered as one of the most dangerous driving places because it has the highest death rates on roads per capital in the world. Thirdly, you might be unaware of destinations. So, avoid driving yourself as much as possible and try to use public transports like taxis, buses and metro trains.
Gulf is hot and the temperature there often reaches above 60 celsius degree especially from April to October. So, if you are planning to visit Dubai, you had better avoid months of extreme hotness and plan your trip in winter so you can fully enjoy the wonders of Dubai without getting worried about weather conditions.
There are different types of hotels ranging from cheap to more expensive ones. So, select one according to your trip budget. However, make sure your hotel is not even close to a construction site. This is because construction in Dubai is being carried out 24 hours non-stop and if you choose a hotel near such a site you might be in trouble because of construction noise. Therefore, always book a room away from such trouble-making places.
In short, for making your trips to Dubai pleasant, you should always prepare beforehand—select the winter weather and book a hotel that's not close to noisy places. You should also try to avoid the things that might create trouble if you like driving by your own without a driving license and without knowing the destination.

A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes,who,in"On Nature",disliked humor,"Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others."He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However,Mordechai Gordon,PhD of Education,insists,"Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious."I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States,every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings,how would Americans be willing to support the election?Television shows like "The Daily Show" have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by unconsciously inputting 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 self image.On the topic of self-image,Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group "The Pussycat Dolls",describing their hit song "Don't 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（粗俗）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（皱纹）to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind,remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
1.Hobbes believes that humor_______.
A. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings
B. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
C. had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D. was for people to view the world from another angle
2.What is the author's attitude towards political humor?
A. Worried B. Disappointed
C. Curious D. Appreciative
3.The fourth paragraph is developed mainly______.
A. by process B. by example
C. by comparison D. by classification
4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at
B. The author feels helpless and sad about getting older
C. Never be the one who laughs at other people
D. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
