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 youare addressing， the problems will be different. If you are talking to a groupof managers， you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries， you may want to comment ontheir 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 shownaround by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations， beautiful gardens， sunnyweather， 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 manin a white coat， who rushes to the head of the line， grabs his food and stompsover 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 tomake 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 inwith humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks abouttheir canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick toscapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward beinghumorous， you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a fewcasual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxedand unforced manner.Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience tosmile， so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving lookmay 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 exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out afew words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. The best title for the text may be__________.[A]Use Humor Effectively [B] Various Kinds of Humor[C] Add Humor to Speech [D] Different Humor Strategies[正确答案]A[解题思路]文章第一段至第三段都在讲一个问题，那就是如果要使用幽默让人笑，必须与人分享共同的问题。第四段讲幽默表达需要自然随意。第五段讲了一些幽默的方法、策略。从整篇文章来看，主要是讲前三的表述的这样一个问题，即如何使用幽默让人发笑，即有效的使用幽默，故选项[A]正确。[干扰排除]选项[B]属于无中生有。选项[C]是由文章最后一段最后一句话而来，只是局部信息，不是全文的中心思想。选项[D]是最后一段的概括，同样不是全文的中心思想。[核心词汇]strategy 策略 position位置 remark评论 inject with加入 alternatively或者醍醐灌顶：文章中划下划线的句子就是我们找中心需要读的句子。如果这些句子还没有找到中心，那么久需要大家把首段的最后一句和中间各段的末句也读了。找中心一定要边看边总结，才能区分出主要观点和次要观点。正确答案一般是主要观点，次要观点一般都是错误选项。切忌不可以一口气看完！正式在练习和考场做题，每一篇文章一定先找到中心之后再做题，中心是“阅读的根”。【做有料青年，关注吴扶剑英语】吴扶剑，研究生毕业于西安外国语大学，外国语言学与应用语言学专业，主修同声传译。原新东方考研英语金牌培训师，新锐测试专家，资深考研四六级辅导专家。独创“形合寻读法”，斩获高分无数。同声传译员，曾陪同前国家副主席荣毅仁侄女荣海兰女士，现荣氏家族掌门人荣宗信先生以及中文化交流促进协会会长孔太和先生进行丝绸之路文化项目考察，担任“陪同口译”时间不多啦剑哥喊你来复习长安二维码关注“吴扶剑英语”“坚持”带给我很多好处，一起来吧。中心是做阅读题的根...赞赏人赞赏
