考研阅读高分十二大策略之主题原则

　　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， thats godcame the reply，but sometimes he thinks hes 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 itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairmans notorious bad taste in ties. with other audiences you mustnt 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 scapegoat 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 its 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 lighthearted remark.
