A sense of humor is the ability to sense, observe, and practice humor. Simply, the ability to appreciate a joke is called a sense of humor. A person who can say funny things and can observe the funny side of things is a person with a good sense of humor. 1
Share your point of view more.
When answering the question on how to improve humor skills, you cannot be Louis C.K., George Carlin or Richard Pryor. It has to be the original you. Take a moment and think about the funniest people you have met in your life. 2 Every person has a different style and opinion when describing an event. So start by sharing your point of view.
The importance of the subject, its target and timing in humor.
You can’t be more wrong in a situation if you ignore the subject, its target and its timing. Let’s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday. 3 However, the narration(叙述) of the same incident 10 years from then would be funny.

答案： 1.A　过渡句。空前句介绍了有幽默感的人是什么样的，下文介绍了一些成为一个有幽默感的人的方法。A项(但你如何才能成为一个有幽默感的人呢？)承上启下，符合语境。
2.C　细节句。空前句“Take a moment and think about the funniest people you have met in your life.”介绍花点时间想想你一生中遇到的最有趣的人，空后句“Every person has a different style and opinion when describing an event.”介绍每个人在描述事件时都有不同的风格和观点。设空处应该交代你进行了思考后会发现没有人是一样的，C项符合语境。C项中的realize是空前句中think about的结果。
3.G　细节句。根据空前句“Let’s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6 - year - old kid on his birthday.(让我们假设当你在一个6岁的孩子生日时送他一本成人杂志会发生什么。)”可知，本空应对这种行为进行评价，这当然是不正确的行为。G项(这不是一个幽默的行动方案，而是一个愚蠢的行动方案。)承接上文，符合语境。
4.D　主旨句。本空为本段小标题。根据“The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences. (抓住你的朋友和同事的思想的关键是熟悉他们的喜好。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要注意你的朋友和同事的喜好，也就是他们对什么感兴趣，D项(注意你的听众的兴趣。)概括了本段主要内容，可作为小标题。
5.F　细节句。空前句“If you can laugh at yourself, it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes.”介绍如果你能自嘲就说明你已经接受了自己的错误，也就是愿意分享自己的错误。F项(当你分享你的错误时，它们使你完整。)介绍了分享自己的错误的好处，承接上文，符合语境。
