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 main topic of the passage is how to______.
选项 A、avoid nagging family members
B、silence gossiping friends
C、make a harmless revenge
D、deal with bothersome coworkers
答案C
解析 本题考查的是对文章主旨的把握。从全文来看文章是一个总一分一总的结构，第一段讲到了报复。接下来的三段分别讲对同事、朋友、家人的报复。最后一段进行总结，指出精心策划的报复只是要让别人意识到，他们对你做的有些事情让你心烦。可见A、B、D都是文章中讲到的一个细节，而C项“无恶意的报复”才是作者要表达的文章的中心思想。所以应该选C。
