问题     Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome coworkers, gossiping friends, or nagging family members.
    Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra early one day. Before the sun comes up, drive to each coworker’s house. Reach under the hood of your coworker’s car and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If you’re lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.
    Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl won’t know what’s going on, and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably won’t leave his home for a month.
    When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likely place. Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait about five minutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell, "Bugs!" They’ll dump their food in the disposal, jump into the car, and head for McDonald’s. That night, you’ll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time.
    A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The object is simply to let other people know that they are beginning to bother you.
The family members dumped their food in the disposal because______.
选项 A、they wanted to eat out
B、they thought their food had been spoiled
C、they wanted to have a peaceful meal
D、they didn’t like the food with raisins
答案B
解析 文章第四段提到了对家人的报复。在吃饭前在饭菜里撒些葡萄干，家人都开始吃时你捂住嘴发出怪声，接着说“When they ask you what the matter is，point to a raisin and yell，‘Bugs!’They’ll dump their food in the disposal，jump into the car，and head for McDonald’s．”可见，家人这么做的原因是因为他们以为饭菜里有虫子。B项“他们认为他们的饭菜被弄脏了”符合文章的意思。文中说的是他们把被弄脏的饭菜倒掉以后才去麦当劳，没说想上餐馆吃饭。C、D两项的内容与文意也不相符。所以本题的正确答案为B。
