16、og on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people. The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researches want to know w

17、hat people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. 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（心理

18、学家） and philosophers（哲学家） . 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.

19、itted. This gave the scientists enough evidence （ 证据 ） to make early conclusions.

20、superior（ 优越 ） 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 humour. the British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”.

21、 priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?” The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point.

22、Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets 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 the

35、 workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy. However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high. Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal.
