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 them.
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 so self-important making a fool of themselves.
W: Yes, and 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.
M: What about the custard pie routine?
W: What do you mean ’custard pie routine’?
M: You know all those old films where someone 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 what’s going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because of 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. 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.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. Why does the man say we laughed when we see some self-important people making fool of themselves?
2. Why do some people joke about those who are fat or handicapped according to the man?
3. Why do many people find it funny to see someone throwing a custard pie on their boss’s face?
4. Why is that the man’s aunt would throw cups of tea at people occasionally?
选项
A、We simply cannot help reacting instinctively that way.
B、We wish to hide our indifference to their misfortune.
C、We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune.
D、We think it serves them right for being mean to other people.
答案
C
解析
浏览所有选项,考生可以推断这篇长对话是关于某些做法和其背后的原因的。对话一开始,女士就问到:我们看到一些大腹便便的商务人士踩到香蕉皮滑倒会笑,这是为什么? 考生要特别注意男士的回答,他说:我们庆幸没遇到这样的倒霉事,还有就是从中得到一种幽默感的满足。所以C)为正确答案。
