28、ed, as if it lacked a certain wholenessIve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for exampleBut they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speakerI know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English

29、limited my perception of herI was ashamed of her EnglishI believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to sayThat is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfectAnd I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks,

35、riences of using broken EnglishDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurredWhile I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a jokeWhen someone laughs at a j

36、oke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will beI was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out.
