Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he paid no attention to everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound stopped him. He looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like dark cloud and seemed to be flying angrily towards him. With no time to waste Andy ran off in the opposite direction, as quickly as he could. As the bees came closer, his fear increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). Last time a sting had put him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a dangerous situation, don’t panic. Stay calm, use your brain and think your ways out of it.”
B. Bored.
C. Tired.
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke from the chimney(烟囱) of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy ran towards the Nelson house, but the bees were getting closer. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He guessed that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, he saw a small pond used by Mr. Nelson to water his vegetable garden. He jumped off his bike and into the cool water, disappearing below the surface and away from the bees. A few minutes later, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. He walked up the hill and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson took him inside and called his mother.

Besides the spelling of the word, there are, clearly, many differences between American and British humor.
There is a common belief in the U.K. that Americans don’t understand irony (讽刺). This is of course not true. But what is true is that Americans don’t use it all the time. Irony may show up in American comedies, but people there don’t use it as much as the British do in daily life. However, irony is common in British culture. It actually runs in the blood of the British people. They use it as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies, as well as themselves, in everyday conversations. This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it.
Things are quite different in America. After Americans use irony, they will clearly say that they are “only kidding”. They feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable. Humor is tied so much to culture. American jokes are more clear and forward, a bit like Americans return. British jokes, on the other hand, are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning. This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved(矜持的) than American culture. However, we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain.
Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation(欣赏) and understanding of the other’s sense of humor. 25. What does “this” refer to in Paragraph 2?
