    Clown

    　　Clowns(小丑)also make people laugh．They often act alone or as a pair and make a different kind of fun．Clowns often don't use any words at all．It is their clothes, make-up and the way they walk that makes people laugh．Some people think clowns are only funny for children．Actually they can help people forget their problems, at least for a short moment．

    　　Another type of people whose job is to make people laugh are comedians(喜剧演员)．They often work alone or as a pair．Unlike clowns, comedians' clothes are usually not very strange．Although body language and their face are important in their shows, they do not use the make-up that clowns use．Comedians may act out a situation during their shows．We call that a sketch(短剧)，but usually, their shows don't look like comedies(喜剧)．What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy is their way of playing with words．Comedians make people laugh, but also think about life．At one moment in a show, you can hear the audience laughing loudly．A few minutes later everybody is quiet, listening and thinking about the comedians' words．

    　　Typical for China is the crosstalk(相声)show, where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play．A crosstalk show has two speakers making many jokes and funny conversations．They may also dress up a little or act out small sketches in front of the laughing audience．Comedians of all times and many countries have a long tradition of this type of comedy．

    　　Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false．

    (1)

    Clowns are only funny for children．

    (　　)

    (2)

    During the show of the comedians, you can hear the audience laughing loudly all the time．

    (　　)

    (3)

    Comedians play with words as the players in a comedy do．

    (　　)

    (4)

    In a crosstalk show, the speakers never dress up．

    (　　)

    (5)

    The underlined word“typical”in the last paragraph means“典型的”．

    (　　)

         Throughout history there have always been people who can make other people
    laugh. Early clowns often both annoyed and delighted listeners with their comments
