Humor can make the conversation more interesting. 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; if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to co
mment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' gathering, 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 an Angel. 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 the Angel. "Oh, that's God." came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
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. Look at your talk and pick out a few wor
ds or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. 31:To make your humor work, you are supposed to ________.
A. make fun of the disorganized people.
B. address different problems to different people.
C. show sympathy for your listeners.
D. take advantage of different kinds of audience
32: The joke about the doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________. A. very clear about their godlike role
B. very busy even during lunch hours.
C. impolite to new arrivals
D. not fond of having lunch with the nurses
33:What ’s the possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph3? ________.
A. intentional
B. urgent
C. unprepared
D. excellent 34:To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.
A. as casually as possible
B. as awkwardly as possible
C. in well-worded language
D. as quickly as possible
35: The best title for the text may be ________.
A. Different Humor methods
iview select多选B. Various kinds of humor
C. Add humor to speech
D. Use humor effectively
