A lodestone compass was used in China during the HanDynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD, where itwas called the"south-governor” (sīnán). It was not used forn avigation(航海），but rather for geomancy and fortune-telling. The earliest reference to a magnetic device used for navigation is in aSong Dynasty book dating to 1040-1044, where there is adescription of an iron “south-pointing fish” floating in a bowl of water, aligning itself to the south. The device is recommended as ameans of orientation(定位）“in the obscurity of the night." The first suspended magnetic needle compass was written of by Shen Kuo in his book of 1088.
For most of Chinese history, the compass that remained in use was in the form of amagnetic needle floating in a bowl of water. According to Needham, the Chinese in the SongDynasty and continuing Yuan Dynasty did make use of a dry compass, although this type never became as widely used in China as the wet compass.
The dry compass used in China was a dry suspension compass, a wooden frame crafted in the shape of a turtle hung upside down by a board,with the lodestone sealed in by wax,and ifrotated,the needle at the tail would always point in the northern cardinal direction. Although the 14th century European compass-card in box frame and dry pivot needle was adopted in China after its use was taken by Japanese pirates in the 16th century(who had in turn learnedof it from Europeans),the Chinese design of the suspended dry compass persisted in use wellinto the 18th century.

Making people laugh is not rocket science. It is (a kind of) science,though.
Professor Peter McGraw,who has studied the depths of human behavior to determine what is funny and what is not, has explored comedy all over the world along with co-writerJoel Warner. This exploration has resulted in a book called The Humor Code,and areasonable scientific explanation for why people laugh at certain things and not others.
＂Humor arises when something seems wrong, unsettling, or threatening (a kind of violation),but meanwhile seems okay,acceptable,or safe,"McGraw says. This idea makesup his Benign Violation theory,and it serves as the engine driving the book."A dirty joketrades on moral or social violations, but it's only going to get a laugh if the person listening isliberated enough to cońsider risqué subjects okay. " He adds,"Even tickling(挠痒），whichhas long been a sticking point for other humor theories. fits perfectly. Tickling involves violating someone's physical space in a benign way. You can't tickle yourself because it isn't aviolation. Nor will you laugh if a stranger tries to tickle you, since nothing about that is benign."
McGraw developed his benign violation concept by modifying and expanding an earlier linguist's theory,whose definitions didn't seem to cover the right bases. The professor hasbeen conducting rigorous scientific testing at HuRL and in his travels with Warner ever since,and thus the concept has held water. Unlike other humor theories,benign violation offersmore explanations for why some things aren't funny.
＂A joke can fail in one of two ways," he says. "It can be too benign,and therefore boring,or it can be too much of a violation, and therefore offensive."
The only way for people who want to be funny,perhaps professionally,to know thedifference is to approach their humor the way McGraw and Warner have: like scientists.
＂The only way to learn is through hard,repetitive,experimental work. You get up thereon that stage night after night, assessing which lines work and which don't,and adjust accordingly." says Warner.
32.What does The Humor Code focus on?
A. Including all funny things in life.
B.Presenting comedies all over the world.
C.Exploring the depths of human nature.
D.Explaining the scientific reason for humor.
33.Which of the following is benign violation according to the text?
A.A dirty joke.
B.Tickling others.
C.Tickling oneself.
D.A stranger trying to tickle you.
34.What are other humor theories mainly about?
A. Why global travels matters.
B.How they create concepts.
C. Why some things are funny.
D.How people make scientific tests.
35.What should people wanting to be the best comedian do from the research?
A.Stand on the stage every night for trials.
B.Collect many scientific testing materials.
C.Know the difference between funny and not funny.
D.Learn through hard, repetitive and experimental work.
