说到世界上被宣传最多，最著名的辣椒，鬼椒必定名列榜首。因诸多媒体宣传和视频挑战而一炮走红，它成为了备受关注的辣度极高（intense heat）的辣椒之一。 鬼椒Bhut jolokia，其世界上名称中的“鬼”来自于印地语bhūt。这种辣椒盛产于印度东北部阿萨姆邦，在2007年的《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》中被确认为世界最辣的辣椒，实验最高辣度为1,041,427 SHU（斯科维尔辣度单位）。 要知道，一般的调味辣酱最多也就2,500SHU，而令人望而却步的墨西哥辣椒的辣度也才10,000SHU。 不过，这种辣椒在当地人眼中，无论是生吃、腌渍（pickled）或制酱，都美味无比，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. 【小编】：卷福和花生的笑话完胜猎人！难道是因为科学家们的笑点和我们这些普通民众不同么？小编很好奇科学专家们如何才能选出最好笑的笑话？性别不同、国家不同、文化不同、每个人的笑点都不同呢。不过有一点作者说得很对，人们常常拿那些当权者们或是平日里的那些“天然呆”来调侃，夏天到了，大家可以说说冷笑话……呵呵……
