Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might
well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hit a traffic jam on his way
to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job.Although there was a
good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by now familiar
excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down
preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes，the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9：35.The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and
stretched out his hand.“How do you do！”he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm？”
The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his
office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh.
Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations
in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying“no”，criticizing，getting
the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs，it’s the only tool that
can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a
quarrel.For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial
and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
