.The bill you sent me is incorrect, sir. , it isn’t the first time.A．Worse stillB．On the contraryC．For one thingD．In all 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

There was a time when，if a lady got into a crowded bus or train，a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat.But now，things are different.Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper.Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.

You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners，though.Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life.Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.On second thoughts，that is perhaps not a bad idea.

It’s no wonder，then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women.On the other hand，the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.

Maybe it is worth women’s while to stand in the bus or train.

46．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Gentlemen are considered impolite nowadays if they do not offer their seats to a standing woman.

B．A gentleman who doesn’t give his seat to a standing woman should be blamed.

C．Today women do not enjoy the politeness shown actively to her by man but they considered it pleasant in the past.

D．In order to be equal with men，women have to stand in a bus or train.

47．A woman may get angry if a man holds a door open for her because________.

A．she doesn’t like him to wait on her hand and foot

B．women enjoy opening the door themselves

C．she feels herself treated as a weaker

D．she thinks it impolite for a man to do so

48．If a man takes a girl out for a meal，she insists on paying her share of the bill.That means________.

A．she wants to be equal with him

B．she likes him，so she doesn’t want to use his money

C．it’s impolite to have a free meal

D．she has agreed to marry him

49．What do women really need today?

A．Men’s active politeness and consideration.

B．Men’s true consideration for the needs and feelings of women.

C．Trying to win men’s favour.
