Text 1
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
。 - 9 -
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 stomps 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 exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few
words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.
41. To make your humor work, you should ________.
[A] take advantage of different kinds of audience
[B] make fun of the disorganized people
[C] address different problems to different people
[D] show sympathy for your listeners
42. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.
[A] impolite to new arrivals
[B] very conscious of their godlike role
[C] entitled to some privileges
