Section Ⅲ Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 — Prereading[原文呈现][读文清障] Text 1Mr Bean is an internationally recognised① comedy② character on TV and in films
He constantly③ gets into awkward④ and absurd⑤ situations, which greatly amuses⑥ audiences regardless of⑦ their nationality or culture
The humour is always made clear through a series of⑧ simple and funny acts that rely purely⑨ on⑩ body language, which is universal⑪
One of my favourite shows has Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant
⑫ After being seated⑬ at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals⑭ it in an envelope and places it on the table
After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there
⑮ He opens it to find a birthday card⑯ and delightedly⑰ puts it on the table
