19、ngly，his sense of humor.As far as I can tell，hes the first American President to have one.Thats because the term “sense of humor”really wasnt in common usage until the eighteensixties and seventies. In the eighteenforties and fifties，it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”，and didnt have the pos
20、itive connotations (隐含意义) that “sense of humor”has today.Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule (讥笑)Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course，they still do a lot of arminarm walking in our day as well.Lincolns humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually “
21、humor”as what the word meant in his time.We dont make the distinction between “wit(风趣)” and “humor” any more；but in the nineteenth century people did.Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic.Its the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with”an
22、d“laughing at”Lincoln was much more about “laughing with”than “laughing at”And when“laughing at”， it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous LincolnDouglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being twofaced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were twofaced，would I
23、 be showing you this one？” And，in a way，Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincolns time and not find a single smile.True，the long exposures(曝光) required for photographs of that time made
24、 smiling difficult.Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.Interestingly，while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much h
25、umor was considered a problem.And that was the case for Lincoln.A journalist covering the LincolnDouglas debates commented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness.that he was extremely fond of jokes，anecdotes and stories.”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了林肯的幽默。8We can infer

30、 to point out Lincolns weakness.A推理判断题。根据最后一段首句中的“in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered a problem”可知，那个记者的评论是对他那个时代的情况的反映。故选A。DIf you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look，dont immediately despair.Shes just taking her time to understand it.But if the joke does eventually make he
