    　　Dr Wiseman started“the laugh lab”project in September 2001．It is the largest study of humour．Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people．

    　　The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke．But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny．And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor．The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh．

    　　This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers．Most of the time, people are not completely honest．We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want．But laughing cannot be controlled．When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves．

    　　By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交)．This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions．It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance．

    　　“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,”said Dr Wiseman．“Males use humor to appear superior(优越的)to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play．”

    　　Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor．The British enjoy what is usually called“toilet humor”．But the French like their jokes short and sharp：“You’re a high priced lawyer．Will you answer two questions for ＄500?”“Yes．What’s the second question?”

    　　The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor．But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality．Perhaps that proves the point．Is this joke funny?I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe．

    　　Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer．But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing．Perhaps this is relief．Computers already seem like they can do everything．At least they should leave the funny stuff to us．

    According to the dictionary definition of “create”,ordinary people are creative every day. To create means”to bring into being, to cause to exist”---something each of us does daily.

    　 We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This nmay be as simple as being aware of colour and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

    　 A second part of creativity is an ability to see realationships among things. If we believe the expression,” There is nothing new under the sun, ” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way is the camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results,.To think up a new concept is one thing; to put idea to work is another.

    　 These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.

    3. ”There is nothing new under the sun.” (par.3)really implies that____.

    A. we can seldom create new things　 B. a new thing is only a tale.

    C. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things.

    D. we can scarcely see really new things in the world.

    4. What does the auther think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?

    A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.

    B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.

    C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.

    D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.

    5. The best title for this passage is_____.

    A, Hoe to Cultivate One’s Creativity　　　　　　　　 B. What is Creativity]
