Mary stared in amazement.It emed the faster they drove，the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent.She leaned forward and turned the radio on，to try to replace her attention away from the flies，but she couldn't help thinking about them.She looked up at Mark，who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.

B如何提升自己
(2015·福建厦门质检)A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing el 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，Ph.D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than rious.”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 el would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the mass by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaning politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.
Of cour，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 lf－image.On the topic of lf－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 reprentation 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 lecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for，an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of cour，humor is not always ud for good purpos.Humor can be linked to vulgarity(庸俗) and racism，but，like everything el，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourlves，our failures and our connection with one another.
