标题: LAST-5-4-9

9.     An easy willingness to tell funny stories or jokes about oneself is the surest mark of supreme self-confidence. This willingness, often not acquired until late in life, is even more revealing than is good-natured acquiescence in having others poke fun at one.


Which one of the following inference is most supported by the statements above?


(A) A person who lacks self-confidence will enjoy neither telling nor hearing funny stories about himself or herself.


(B) People with high self-confidence do not tell funny stories or jokes about others.


(C) Highly self-confident people tell funny stories and jokes in order to let their audience know that they are self-confident.


(D) Most people would rather tell a funny story or joke than listen to one being told.


(E) Telling funny stories or jokes about people in their presence is a way of expressing one’s respect for them.




答案是A.可是我看不懂这道题的逻辑关系,根本就读不懂他想说什么。哪位能给帮忙翻一下?谢谢了。

轻松的拿自己开玩笑是自信的最确定的标志。这种轻松--往往是岁数较大时才会获得--比默许别人拿自己开玩笑更能表明一个人的自信。

我的理解是:自信有两个表现:(1)拿自己开玩笑;(2)听别人开自己的玩笑。(1)比(2)更能表明一个人的自信。

所以答案就是A喽。不过这题我也没做对,刚开始我根本就没读懂题。
