The 3rd TERM TEST OF ENGLISH

A/ Comprehension (10 pts)

Read the text carefully and do the activities.
If somebody has a good sense of humour, they have a strong understanding of what makes
people laugh, and are usually good at either making people laugh or finding something funny. The
gift of humour is not necessarily something that can be taught, as some people are simply
‘naturally funny’.
Studies have shown that these kinds of people are fun to be around; understandably, so, as
laughter is something that brings people together and was originally seen as ‘social glue’
enhancing a feeling of connection. Laughter can relieve stress, strengthen relationships and
improve somebodies mood to such an extent that they are more productive. It’s no wonder people
with a good sense of humour can often be found at the centre of things, simply because they make
others feel good.
Having a sense of humour can be a real benefit to your personal and professional life. Those
who can go about their lives with a sense of humour will find life easier than those that don’t.
Humour requires open-mindedness and can teach us a lot about how we view the world and tackle
our own problems based on how we decide to face them.
