听力原文: The question of whether dogs have a sense of humor is often fiercely argued. My own opinion is that some have and some haven't. Dachshunds have, but not St Bernards or Great Danes. Apparently a dog has to be small .to be f6nd of joke. You never find a Great Dane trying to be a comedian.
But it is fatal to let any dog know that he is funny, for he immediately loses his head and starts overdoing it; As an example of this I would, poirit to Rudolph ; a Dachshund I once owned, whose slogan was "Anything for a Laugh". Dachshunds are always the worst of. fenders in this respect because of peculiar shape. It is only natural that when a dog finds that his mere appearance makes the viewing public laugh, he should imagine that Nature intended him to be a comedian.
Sometimes Rudolph overplays his sense of humor, a typical example of which is he once stole ducks from a farm nearby and brought complaints on me. It is true that Dachshunds and other dogs have their faults, but they seem unimportant ;compared with their virtues.
According to the narrator, which kind of dogs is thought to have a sense of humor?
A.St Bernards.
B.Great Danes.
C.Dachshunds.
D.Shepherd dogs.
