问题     学院请来一位洋教师。他每每与中国学生聊天,聊到可笑之处时,他不笑,脸上也没表情;可是有时毫不可笑的事,他会冷不防放声大笑,笑得仰面朝天,几乎连人带椅子要翻过去。常使中国学生面面相觑,不知这位洋教师是不是神经有问题。
    一天,洋教师出题,考查学生们用洋文作文的水准。中国学生很灵,一挥而就。洋教师评出了最佳作文一篇,学生们听后大为不解,这种通篇说谎的文章怎么能被评为“最佳”?原来这篇作文是写学校食堂。写作文的学生人很老实,胆子又小,生怕得罪校方,妨碍将来毕业,便不顾真假,胡编乱造,竭力美化,唱赞歌。洋教师明知学校食堂糟糕透顶,为什么偏要选这篇作文?
    洋教师说:“这文章写得当然好,而且绝妙无比。”他拿起作文念起来,“我们学校最美的地方,不是教室,不是操场,而是食堂。瞧,玻璃干净得几乎叫你看不到它的存在——”怎么会是幽默?大家还没弄明白。洋教师接着念道:“如果你不小心在学校食堂跌了一跤,你会惊奇地发现你并没跌跤,因为你身上半点尘土也没留下……”
    学生们忽然明白了什么。洋教师一边笑,一边继续往下念:“食堂天天的饭菜有多么精美、多么丰富、多么解馋!只有在学校食堂里,你才会感到吃饭是一种地道的享受……”忽然,学生们爆发起大笑来。依照这种思维,我们会从身边发现多少聪明、机智、绝妙、令人捧腹的好文章啊!

选项

答案Our institute employed an English teacher. When chatting with Chinese students especially a-bout some jokes, he never laughed even without any expression on his face. But it came to some insipid stories, he would burst into laughter by surprise with his face towards the sky, nearly oversetting with chair, and then we looked at each other in astonishment, wondering whether the teacher was mentally ill. One day, he gave an essay to students to see how well students could write in English. Chinese students were quick at writing and we finished it in a while and handed it in immediately. However, students felt doubted after they read the best passage chosen by the teacher. After all, how the passage filled with lies can be evaluated as "the best one"? The passage told about the dining hall in the school. The author was a peaceable and timid guy who was anxious about offending the school authority so as to be not beneficial for his graduation. Thus, ignoring the reality, he made up some good aspects in great praise of the dining hall. Since the teacher knew very well how terrible the dining hall ’s conditions were, why did he choose this passage? The teacher said, "The passage is indeed an excellent one. " Picking up the passage, he read, "The most beautiful place on campus is not classroom, nor is playground, but the dining hall, Look, the windows are so clean that you hardly notice there is any glass. " Yet everyone still did not understand how can he be humorous? The teacher continued, "If you tumble by occasion, you will be surprised to find that you actually don’t fall over, because there is not any dust left on your clothes..." Students seemed to be cottoning on. The teacher went on with a laugh, "How delicate, abundant and tasty the food is here! It is only in the dining hall can you enjoy having dinner..."Suddenly, students burst into laugh. Following this logic, we can find lots of perfect and amusing articles with quick wit.
