Thats exactly what were like!”可知当英国喜剧节目小英国人在美国巡演时，没有人笑。美国人并不觉得“英国人的刻板印象”有趣。其中一个角色是一个看到外国人就生病的女人。另一个是一个吵闹粗鲁的15岁女孩诅咒她的老师。但在英国国内，英
82、国人却在大笑，并在想，“是的！我们就是这样的人!”由此可推知，第一段的目的是说明在不同的文化中，幽默可能意味着不同的东西。故选D。【37题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中“We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy”以及“He couldnt be too”可知Michael Scott被人们塑造成一个有些友善的人，即他不可能太不友好，由此可知，画线词意思为“不友好的”。A.
