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 to 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.  
As a harmless revenge , you might come first and get a raise by______.
选项 A、pleasing your boss
B、getting up earlier than your colleagues
C、destroying your colleagues’ cars
D、making your colleagues come late
答案D
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问作为一种无恶意的报复，你可以怎样做，从而使自己第一个上班并因此会得到加薪。文章第二段指出，对付说你经常迟到的同事很容易，你只要某天起床特别早，驱车到同事们的住处，伸手到他们的车盖下断开通向配电盘盖的中心线就行了。汽车没有坏，但发动不起来，他们当天就会迟到。如果你运气好，老板会注意到你是唯一准时上班的人，他也许会给你加薪。因此，本题的正确答案应是D“使同事上班迟到”。
