說到世界上被宣傳最多，最著名的辣椒，鬼椒必定名列榜首。因諸多媒體宣傳和視頻挑戰(zhàn)而一炮走紅，它成為了備受關(guān)注的辣度極高（intense heat）的辣椒之一。 鬼椒Bhut jolokia，其世界上名稱中的“鬼”來自于印地語bhūt。這種辣椒盛產(chǎn)于印度東北部阿薩姆邦，在2007年的《吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄大全》中被確認(rèn)為世界最辣的辣椒，實驗最高辣度為1,041,427 SHU（斯科維爾辣度單位）。 要知道，一般的調(diào)味辣醬最多也就2,500SHU，而令人望而卻步的墨西哥辣椒的辣度也才10,000SHU。 不過，這種辣椒在當(dāng)?shù)厝搜壑?，無論是生吃、腌漬（pickled）或制醬，都美味無比，常被用于提升咖喱、泡菜

When you read in English, sometimes you will meet new words. It is a good idea to try to guess the meaning of the unknown words by looking at the context in which they appear before using a dictionary. This way you can become a more proficient reader. The Funniest Jokes in the World by Chris Rose Recently, a group of scientists and psychologists decided to try and find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This was obviously going to be a difficult task, as no two people ever really agree about what is funny and what is not – especially when they are from different countries. In some ways, this is strange. Telling jokes, along with telling stories (which is a similar activity), is one of the most frequent and widespread activities around the world. All countries, all cultures, all languages have their jokes. Unlike telling stories, however, jokes are sometimes not funny or often completely incomprehensible to people who are not part of that culture. Some things do remain the same – many jokes from around the world like to make fun of people who are stupid, or sometimes people in authority. A lot of jokes are about [w]taboo[/w] subjects – jokes can be a way of talking about things that in normal “polite” society we are not allowed to mention. The problem is, of course, is that people in authority or taboo subjects, for example, change from country to country and from culture to culture. Anyhow, after a year-long serious academic survey, here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world: Two hunters are out in the woods. One of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are closed. The other hunter takes out his mobile phone and calls emergency services. “My friend is dead!” he cries to the operator, “What can I do?” The operator, in a calm voice says: “Don’t worry. I can help. First, make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?" Hmmmm. I don’t know about you, but I think this is perhaps mildly amusing rather than side-splitting. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a “black” joke – a joke about something which isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and asks his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." "I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson. "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson thinks for a minute. "Well, [w]astronomically[/w], it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. [w=meteorologically]Meteorologically[/w], I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. [w=theologically]Theologically[/w], I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?" Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent!" I personally think this is better – perhaps not still exactly a side-splitter, but certainly a rib-tickler. Understanding this joke, however, depends on us knowing who Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are. It also has an unexpected ending – something that is essential for most jokes. Surprise can be funny. Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists. 【小編】：卷福和花生的笑話完勝獵人！難道是因為科學(xué)家們的笑點和我們這些普通民眾不同么？小編很好奇科學(xué)專家們?nèi)绾尾拍苓x出最好笑的笑話？性別不同、國家不同、文化不同、每個人的笑點都不同呢。不過有一點作者說得很對，人們常常拿那些當(dāng)權(quán)者們或是平日里的那些“天然呆”來調(diào)侃，夏天到了，大家可以說說冷笑話……呵呵……

你是不是總是想睡懶覺？那么在芬蘭有一個節(jié)日，就是為了懶蟲而慶祝。 在芬蘭，每年7月27日是“貪睡節(jié)”（National Sleepy Head Day）。這個節(jié)日與《以弗所之七眠者》的傳說有關(guān)，但與其說是宗教（religious）節(jié)日，不如說是一個非正式的慶?；顒?。 貪睡節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)可以追溯到中世紀(jì)，當(dāng)時人們相信，這一天晚睡的人會在這一年的剩余時間里十分懶惰，沒有效率（non-productive）。 在過去，最后一個睡在房子里的人，也就是最懶惰的人，要么會被扔進湖中或海里，要么就會被水潑醒。 到現(xiàn)在，在芬蘭南塔利市，每年7月27日早上7點，都會選出一位芬蘭名人（celebrity）從該市的港口被扔進海里，被選中的人通常會為這座城市做一些有益的事情。到目前為止，該市每位市長（mayor）都至少被拋入過大海一次。 ? 你現(xiàn)在了解了嗎？ ? 今日推薦 religious?[r??l?d??s] adj. 宗教的 non-productive?無效率的 celebrity?[s??lebr?ti] n. 名人 mayor?[me?(r)] n. 市長 ?
