Question

A  Deaf  Person's  Joke
Something was wrong with Jack's ears after he was much better from a serious illness. Several months later he went to a doctor. The doctor told him that he was deaf of both ears. Jack was sad. He was afraid to lose his work. So he did not like people to know this.
One evening he asked some friends to dinner. While they were sitting at the table, one of his friends told an interesting joke. Everyone laughed and Jack laughed louder than anyone else. He said, “That was a very interesting joke, but I know a more interesting one. Would you like to hear it?” All his friends said OK to him, so Jack began to tell his joke. All his friends were listening to him with smiles. When the joke ended, everyone laughed louder than before and Jack laughed happily, too. He was very glad because he thought that his must be more interesting than his friend's. But he didn't know that he had made a fool of himself（出丑；鬧笑話） because his joke was the same as the first one.

試題分析：本文介紹了杰克在一次大病后失聰了，但他不想讓人知道，因為怕失去工作。有一次朋友們在一起吃飯，一個朋友講了個笑話，杰克比大家笑的聲音更大，因為他不想讓別人知道他耳朵不好。于是他也講了個笑話，別人笑得更厲害了，杰克很高興，以為大家都喜歡他的笑話，而實際上他講的是剛才朋友講過的那個笑話。
