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 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.
As a harmless revenge, you might come first and get a raise by______.
选项 A、pleasing your boss
B、getting up earlier than your colleagues
C、destroying your colleagues’ cars
D、making your colleagues come late
答案D
解析 在本文的第二段提到“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．”可见，导致可能加薪的最终原因是因为你的同事们都晚到了。B项的内容是为使同事晚到而做的事，不是加薪的原因，所以B项不对。同事的车只是发动不起来而已，并没有被毁，所以C项不对。文中对A项的内容没有提及。所以本题的正确答案应该为D，即可能通过使同事晚到而加薪。
