A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室) : everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. " How do you do!" he said. " I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected (忽略) , means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no" , criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
The main idea of this passage is______.
选项
A、Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
B、humor is important in our lives
C、early bird gets the worm
D、humor can solve racial discriminations
答案
B
解析
根据短文第一句是主题句“A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的)attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win(在人生很多场激烈的争斗中,我们如果与人硬碰硬正面交锋的话,可能败得一塌糊涂。而幽默往往使我们反败为胜)”和文章第四段第一句,可知整篇短文讲的是幽默的重要性。
