Question

  By funny short story ideas based on realistic approach,I mean that writers should take inspiration from characters based on real life. By using this approach,the writers also can make the readers widen their horizon and sense of humour. If through your story,you can teach people as to why laughter is known as the best medicine,there can be nothing more rewarding than that. You can find a lot of humour in real life,and with the gift of writing,you can actually turn your observation into a funny short story. An example for the same would be this: "Once there was an old man who was flying from Boston to Denver with his cat. The cat was obviously kept in the pet section. When the old man arrived Denver,he didn't get his cat along with the luggage and was very worried about it. ' I want my cat back or else I am going to sue this airline”the old man shouted at the airline agent. The baggage department was wondering where the cat went!At last,they found the cat in her cage,but to their surprise,the cat was dead. The baggage authorities were already feeling guilty of making their valuable cus?tomer upset. So they decided to replace the dead cat with a live one. With lots of troubles,the airline finally got the cat back to the old man. The old man looked at the cat and shouted, ' This isn't my cat,you fools!My cat was dead and I brought her home to get her buried！，"This is what you call a funny short story idea with a twist. Funny,wasn't it?

1. D主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一句話可知，本文是介紹基于現(xiàn)實(shí)思想的搞笑的短篇故事的。故選D項(xiàng)。而A項(xiàng)范圍過大。B項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容不符合。

2. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的"If through your story,you can teach people as to why laughter is known as the best medicine,there can be nothing more rewarding than that."可知選D項(xiàng)。

3. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的"…but to their surprise,the cat was dead."可知C為正確選項(xiàng)。
