Passage 64
学霸导读 憨豆先生的喜剧深入人心，它们以其独特的行为风格刻画出英国中产阶级保守主义者的形象，令人捧腹又引人思考。
You must have seen this man somewhere—funny-looking, always in a jacket and a red tie. He seldom talks but always a 1 humorously. Who is he? Yes, he is the well-known Mr. Bean.
In the 1990s, Mr. Bean became a star. Its f inal episode Good Night, Mr. Bean was shown on October 31st, 1995. During its f ive-year run, the series gained a large audience in the U.K. and t 2 the world. Mr. Bean often seems u 3 of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the program usually features his attempts at what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming, using a television set. The humour largely comes from his original s 4 to any problems.
His method of acting was to appear uncertain， look around and then do exactly the wrong thing. Children， particularly， would b 5 into laughter at his behavior. He always m 6 to pick out those things that people are afraid of doing because they do not want to appear a social failure. On one occasion in a restaurant， he ordered a steak tartare （ 鞑靼牛排 ）. When the uncooked meat arrived， he was overcome by shame because he ordered a steak tartare. He cut off a piece of meat and p 7 to chew a mouthful but instead put it into the plant pot beside him. He put more into his pocket.
Throughout the meal he seemed to show great a 8 for his food. He was such an o 9 performer that when he f inished eating his dinner, the waiter offered him the same dish again at no extra charge!
The role of Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson—an Oxford University graduate. Atkinson is considered to be a great comedian in the style of Charlie Chaplin. In all of his shows， he s 10 portrays a typically conservative （ 保守的 ） man from the British middle class. People are very impressed by his humor.
