问题    Humor is a social lubricant. It gives us something to share and creates an atmosphere of appreciation. We automatically like to make friends with people who make us laugh. Humor should be suitable, however, if it is going to be effective.
   The first thing you need to do is relax. No one’s going to throw tomatoes at you if you strike out, and you’re not going for some life-changing test. You just want to add some interest to your life and conversations, and appear more easygoing. So don’t put so much pressure on yourself. See the humor in situations: you’ll see that most situations, even getting a $200 dollars speeding ticket or falling down on a banana peel have humor written all over them — the trick is finding them and being able to laugh at yourself.
   You can always take bits and pieces of others’ humor, but you’ll want to adapt your character to your own style and personality — in turn, this will be easier for you and sound more true as you won’t have to try as hard.
   Being funny isn’t only about telling great jokes: it’s all in your attitude, how you project yourself, and your delivery. Be lively and alive when you speak, and you can make any story funny.
   Make eye contact with people, speak with confidence, and everyone will want to hear your stories. On the other hand, if your humor is darker, sarcastic, then play the part and talk in a monotonous voice.  [br] How to understand the word " lubricant" in Paragraph 1?
