【正文】 a man who loves America, who wins the green card ing to America from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he es to America, he realizes America doesn’t accept immigrants(移民 )the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a security guard(保安 )and from there he has to go on to save the world.” “This edy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase “axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2020, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The shows featured Jobrani and three other edians of Middle Eastern descent(血統(tǒng) ).The group first appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central. It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing standup (單人說(shuō)笑表演的 )edy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing standup edy or putting on a movie, your goal as a edian is to make people laugh. 28.

D I have always been somebody who often alternated(交替 )between hoping to be alone and hoping to be with others. The thing was, I only wanted to be with others in a very particular way. I wanted to feel warmth between me and the other person. I wanted to feel safe and fortable. I wanted to feel close. If my relationship with someone didn’t have closeness, it tended to make me feel lonlier than just being alone. I found most of the advice out there about how to get over loneliness futile. “Put yourself out there more!” the experts said. “Meet more people and you will finally find good friendships.” That only sounded reasonable. Most of us already have people in our lives with whom we feel that spark(火花 )of connection, and we just don’t know how to properly fan the flames. We don’t know how to move from mon interacting with someone to being close. In other words, I’ve found that most of us who fight against loneliness do not lack access to other people. That’s not the source of the pain. The source of the pain is the lack of a certain feeling in our relationships. And that feeling is closeness. This feel of closeness is what you really want when you are lonely. The feeling of closeness arises between two people when they both feel that the other understands them well and cares about them deeply. I call these two important qualities of closeness “knowing and caring”. Taken together, knowing and caring are a powerful bination. They say to the other person, “Not only do I see the real you, but I want to keep the real you well.” This is the message you will give and receive from close relationships. Getting to know others in the way that improves closeness means ing to understand them from their own perspective(角度 ). Closeness doesn’t have to be something that happens by accident it is within your control to create. Starting now, you really can stop being lonely. 32. What does the underlined word “futile” mean?
