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. [br] The best title for the text may be ______.

D、Different Humor Strategies
答案
A
解析
从文章第1段的内容可知,如果你想在谈话中幽上一默,你就得先知道如何确定你与其他人有相同的经历和问题。你的幽默一定要和听众有关,应该有助于表明你是他们中间的一员,或者你了解他们的处境,赞同他们的观点。针对不同的谈话对象,你要谈的问题就应该有所不同。文章第2段举例做了说明。从第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难题,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。从文章第4段的内容可知,如果你不擅长于使用幽默,你就必须练习,以便你的幽默显得更加自然。从最后一段的内容可知,幽默常常是在出其不意的时候出现。不妨曲解人们熟知的引语,寻找夸张和掩饰用语。琢磨一下你的谈话,从中挑出你能够改动的几个字或几句话来,注入幽默。据此可知,本文主要谈的是如何利用幽默来使人发笑。A项与文章的意思相符,因此A项为正确答案。
