问题     Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome coworkers, gossiping friends, or nagging family members.
    Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is to get up extra early one day. Before the sun comes up, drive to each coworker’s house. Reach under the hood of your coworker’s car and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If you’re lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.
    Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl won’t know what’s going on, and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably won’t leave his home for a month.
    When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likely place. Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait about five minutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell, "Bugs!" They’ll dump their food in the disposal, jump into the car, and head for McDonald’s. That night, you’ll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time.
    A well planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The object is simply to let other people know that they are beginning to bother you.  
The main topic of the passage is how to______.
选项 A、avoid nagging family members
B、silence gossiping friends
C、make a harmless revenge
D、deal with bothersome coworkers
答案C
解析 问题问本文的主题是什么。通读全文内容，我们发现文章第一段指出，每个人都可以取乐于报复，虽然人们不愿意谈及它，但是，事实还是如此：没有比实施报复更能给人以愉悦或使人获益的事了。当然，这里所说的报复目的不是为了伤害被报复对象，而是让他们知道：他们的行为使你感到不快。此段最后一句指出：精心策划的报复可以帮助你摆脱讨厌的同事、搬弄是非的朋友或絮絮叨叨的家人的打扰。文章第二、三、四段分别谈到了如何设计报复这三种人，以便摆脱他们的打扰。在总结全文的最后一段，作者再次指出，精心策划的报复目的不在于伤害谁，其目的仅仅在于让被报复对象意识到：他们的所作所为打扰了你。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“进行无恶意的报复”。
