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 it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn't 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 scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.

　　43. It can be inferred from the text that public services ________.

　　[A] have benefited many people

　　如果你是你谈话对象集体中的一员，你就能够了解你们所共有的经历和问题，你就可对餐厅极难吃的食物或者总裁在选择领带方面差劲的品味进行评头论足。而对于其他听众，你就不能试图贸然地讲这种幽默，因为他们也许不喜欢外人对他们的餐厅或总裁有如此微词。如果你选择去评论邮局或电话局这样的替罪羊，那你就会很安全。

　　题型识别：推理题

　　题干定位：这是一道在题干中有具体定位信息的题目，题干中的public services就是具体的定位信息，但是在文中并没有出现一样的词汇， 但是在第三段最后一句中出现了：the Post Office or the telephone system;而public service 就是对于他们的同意替换。

　　解题思路：当定位准确以后，解题的思路就有两条：

　　第一：读懂这个句子

　　You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.

　　如果你选择去评论邮局或电话局这样的替罪羊，那你就会很安全。

　　这里的所谓安全就是能让别人发笑，所以是很好的笑料

　　第二：这个细节应该是为主题服务的

　　和主题幽默相关的选项就只有C和D两个选项，而很清楚的说到了安全为正评价所以选择答案为D，经常是笑料

　　选项分析：在思路解析中已经用到了对于选项的排除，这里需要多解释一下：

　　有同学会认为：是笑料我认同，但是为什么是笑料呢?于是目光就自然的看到了B选项;

　　脑海里想的是：为什么你是好的笑料嗯，因为你是公众关注的焦点。但是文中并没有讲是不是关注的焦点，并且即使讲了这里也 不能成为答案，因为这里的主题是幽默，主题应该优先这就是思路。
