For any person who must speak in public, to business or pleasure groups, humor is a helpful and necessary tool for getting your message across. Why does humor work a lot? There are several reasons.

People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor. But, more importantly, if you are in a situation where important,and perhaps controversial (有争议的),ideas must be presented to less than open minds,humor allows those ideas to be presented in a nonthreatening (无威胁的) manner. Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point. Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listeners' interest high. In a word,individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments, support interesting presentations and, most of all, entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way.

While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor,some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience. If you want to become a professional excellent comedian(喜剧演员) whose goal is 100% entertainment, then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking. They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor. To thatend, your participation in this study of humor will become necessary. Hopefully, you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

British English and American English are almost the same.  

The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same.  For example, Americans would say "apartment", but the British would say "flat" to talk about the place where they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic (惯用的) expressions are different. In England people might say "I'll ring you up tonight", but in the US, people might say "I'll call you up tonight".

The second difference between British and American English is in pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation lies in the vowels. But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each other's pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same.

The third difference is very small.  A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like "center". In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R.

 The British may say "Have you got …?" while Americans prefer "Do you have …?" An American might say "my friend just arrived", but a British would say "my friend has just arrived".

A. This is the difference in spelling.

B. There are a few differences in grammar, too.

C. But there are some differences between them.

D. Only a very small number of words are used differently.

E. Both languages have a slightly different structure of telling the time.

F. The English language was introduced to America in the early 17 century.

G. Sometimes, Americans and the British don't understand each other's pronunciation.
