If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stamps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that’s God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor."
If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.
If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.
Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected—a twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don’t succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggerations and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.
It can be inferred from the text that public services______.
选项
A、have benefited many people
B、are the focus of public attention
C、are an inappropriate subject for humor
D、have often been the laughing stock
答案
D
解析
从文章第3段的内容可知,如果你是你的听众中的一员的话,你就会了解你们所有人的共同经历或问题,你就可以随意评论食堂的饭菜难吃,或是评论领导的领带没有品味,这些都无可厚非。不过,同其他人交谈时,你千万不要尝试插入这类幽默,因为他们反感一个局外人对他们的食堂或领导发表蔑视性的评论;如果你一直说些调侃邮局或电信系统这类“替罪羊”的笑话,你就会平安无事。据此可知,邮局或电信系统等公共服务经常被人调侃。D项与文章的意思相符,因此D项为正确答案。
