问题     If you intend using humour in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to【C1】______shared experiences and problems. Your humour must be【C2】______to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in【C3】______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【C4】______methods of their secretaries;【C5】______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【C6】______, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a【C7】______for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the【C8】______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."
    Look for the humour. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar【C9】______"If at first you don’t succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for【C10】______and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humour.
A)accommodations B)identify C)notorious D)disorganized
E)quote F)canteen G)attempt H)alternatively
I)sympathy J)line K)exaggerations L)increasingly
M)head N)end O)relevant [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 K
解析 此空应填名词。and并列连接两个名词，“understatements”(明抑暗扬)，为一种修辞手法，所以前面肯定也是表示修辞手法的复数名词。选项K，“exaggerations”(夸张)，恰好符合题意。原文意为，可以使用夸张和明抑暗扬的方式来注入幽默。
