W: You know, I’ve often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for him.
M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn’t happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.
W: Yes, and then there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted, things like that After all, it’s not really funny to be like that.
M: Oh, I think that’s because we’re embarrassed. We don’t know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we might get like that, so we laugh. What about the custard pie routine?
W: What do you mean "custard pie routine"?
M: Oh, you know, all those old films where somebody gets so outraged with his boss, he picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person’s face.
W: That never makes me laugh very much, because you can guess it’s going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because it’s the sort of the thing we’d all love to do once in a while and never quite have the courage to.
M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated.[8] She said it relieved her feelings.
W: It must have come a bit expensive.
M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.
5. Why does the man say we laugh when we see some self-important people making fools of themselves?
6. Why do some people joke about those who are fat or handicapped according to the man?
7. Why do many people find it funny to see someone throwing a custard pie on their boss’s face?
8. Why did the man’s aunt say she would throw cups of tea at people occasionally?
选项
A、They want to show their genuine sympathy.
B、They have had similar personal experiences.
C、They don’t know how to cope with the situation
D、They don’t want to reveal their own frustration
答案
C
解析
根据选项中的show...sympathy、had similar experiences、cope with the situation、frustration等关键词,可预测本题与人们对某些事情的反应相关,其中涉及到挫折感、不知所措等心理。女士说还有很多关于胖子和残疾人的笑话,但其实这是不可笑的。男士说这些笑话背后的原因也许是因为人们觉得别扭,不知该如何面对这些情况,有时人们甚至会害怕自己变成那样,才会用笑声掩盖担心,故选C。原因处常常出题,听到男士的话语中出现that’s because时要注意,其后往往会有考点。C项与原文一致,符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的解题规律。
