【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹英國(guó)人的著名性格：幽默和誠(chéng)實(shí)。

【1】in 固定詞組：in common共同，共有。故填in。

【2】festivals 句意：慶祝大的節(jié)日和傳統(tǒng)。根據(jù)句意可知此處用名詞形式，故填festivals。

【3】is 句意：英國(guó)人著名的性格之一是幽默感�？芍�后面的謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，故填is。

【4】a 句意：這是一個(gè)著名的自嘲笑話。故填a。

【5】is tied 根據(jù)句意可知此處用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。be tied to被系到---上面，故填is tied。

【6】meaning 此處是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語，故填meaning。

【7】where 此處是where引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，故填where。

【8】lessen 句意：這能減輕人們批評(píng)我們的機(jī)會(huì)�？芍�此處用動(dòng)詞形式，故填lessen 。

【9】that 如果reason做主語，則后面的表語從句由that引導(dǎo)，故填that 。

【10】seriously 此處是副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故填seriously。

【知識(shí)拓展】

1.reason做先行詞，在定語從句中作時(shí)間狀語時(shí)，用關(guān)系副詞why引導(dǎo)。The reason why he was late for class is that his father was ill。他上課遲到的理由是他的父親病了。

2.the reason for sth./doing sth.某事或做某事的理由。

3. the reason做主語時(shí)，后面的表語從句用that引導(dǎo)。
