A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.

What does the underlined word “hassle” (paragraph 1) probably mean?

A. a party designed by specialists

B. a plan requiring careful thought

C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble

D. a demand made by guests

根据“A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun”，这两个分句之间的转折关系我们可以推断出“hassle”与“fun”应该是一对反义词。A、B、D 三个选项与这个判断都不吻合，只有C选项与这个判断比较一致，因此，C选项是唯一可能正确的答案。

以上所叙只是推测、判断词义的一些基本规律。要提高这方面的阅读能力，最主要的还是靠自己进行大量的阅读，在阅读实践中不断总结经验，找出其中的规律，并且融会贯通地运用它们指导自己的阅读。
