A
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying“no,”criticizing,and getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it is the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that a serious dialogue may start a riot. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport, Airborne, he felt miserable,and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a longdistance phone call. “Persontoperson for Mrs. 1. apologize.”in toned the operator. “That's spelled‘P’ as in ...” In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.
An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen ..., and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration on a tight rope walker, brought in a large roast turkey; he successfully elbowed the swinging diningroom door, but the back bird dropped onto the diningroom floor.
The boy stood rooted, the guests staring at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess looked at her “No harm, Daniel”, she said “just pick him up and son, take him back to the kitchen” ..., she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying ... “and bring in the other one.”
A wink and a oneliner instantly changed the dinner from a redfaced embarrassment to a conspiracy of run.

Charlie studied in a famous college for four years. He studied hard and did well in all his subjects. He hoped to become a good teacher. This year he left college and began to work in a middle school. He likes his students and is strict with them. He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.
One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction(化学反应) to the students of Grade Two in the chemistry lab. “Be careful,everyone,” he said loudly. “Before I make the experiment, there're twentyfive atoms of carbon(碳原子), but after I finish it, there're twentyfour atoms of carbon left!”
He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him. He had to ask,“What happens? What makes the atom lost?”
The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher.
