单选题If you intend using humour in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to 26 shared experiences and problems. Your humour must be 27 to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in 28 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 29 methods of their secretaries; 30 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 31 , beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a 32 for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the 33 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 34 'If at first you don't succeed, give up' or a play on words or on a situation. Search for 35 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

单选题 People receive their news from many sources these days—papers, television, web, mobiles. And now, rubbish bins. Renew, a company co-founded in 2002 by chief executive Kaveh Memari, has developed a newspaper recycling bin which doubles as an open-air information screen. It has placed nearly 100 of the hi-tech bins around the City of London under a 21-year contract with the authority. The bins—or techno-pods as Memari refers to them—are made of damage-resistant fibreglass with screens at either end which can relay anything from news to advertisements to information on London underground delays or the number of Boris bikes available in the vicinity. A team of journalists provide the news feed, with other content coming from magazines like The Economist. A group of software developers—what Memari calls the Geek Squad—operate from Athens. The initial impetus for the bins came from the City of London authorities, with the capital littered with discarded free newspapers and Brussels putting pressure on for it missing recycling targets. Memari said: 'We de-risked it for the City, they don't pay for the service and the only risk for them is reputational if things go wrong. ' The company had hoped to have 100 pods—200 screens—in place by the time of the Olympics, but that target slipped and was finally reached in November. But with the City getting the service for free, how does Renew propose to make money? Memari talks of several revenue streams: advertising, finding a major company to sponsor the pods, attracting publishers, talking to film studios, and even telecoms companies about using its wired connections to carry data services or conversations. 'We have killed the idea it's a grotty (肮脏的) place for advertisers and publishers to put their messages. We are also talking to seven major film studios and they are very interested in the possibilities.' Memari believes studios could film special scenes to be shown on the screens, linked to major movies in what is effectively a viral marketing campaign. The pods can also be used for emergency messages, with one recent test showing an alert reaching the system just three minutes after being received at the control room. Now the pods are in place. Renew has begun its real push to advertisers and media, with marketing campaigns under way for a number of businesses including CNBC, Qatari Islamic Bank, and Wallpaper, as well as a couple of charities which have been given free or heavily discounted airtime. Renew has raised ￡4 million in total from investors so far, mainly high net-worth individuals including one Premier League and England footballer. 'We went to all the high street banks, but nothing,' said Memari. It will need further funds as it expands overseas.
