The Farmer, His wife, and the Open Door

Once upon a time, there lived a poor farmer and his wife. One day, having finished their day’s labor and eaten their simple supper, they were sitting by the fire. 1. It was blown open by wind.

“Darling, shut the door!” said the man.

“No way, shut it yourself!” said the woman.

“I will not shut it, and you shall not shut it,” said the man, “but let the one who speaks the first word shut it.”

2.

In the middle of the night they heard a noise, and looking around, they found that a wild dog had entered the room, and that he was busy eating their food. Not a word, however, would either of these silly people say, and the dog, having eaten as much as he wanted, went out of the house.

3.

When she was out, a barber entered, and said to the husband, “Why are you sitting here all alone?” 4. The barber then shaved his head, but still he did not speak; then he shaved off half his beard, but even then the man kept silent. “The man is crazy!” cried the barber, and he quickly escaped out of the house.

At the moment, the wife returned from the shop. 5. .

“You spoke the first word,” said the farmer, “so please shut the door.”

A. His words pleased the wife, and so the old couple, well satisfied, went in silence to bed.

B. And then they had a quarrel over who should shut the door.

C. The next morning the woman went shopping by herself.

D. The old couple fell asleep happily at night.

E.The farmer didn’t answer a word.

F.She, seeing her husband in such a strange condition, cried, “Ah! What have you been doing?”

G.The farmer and his wife were stupid.

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

1.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C. People care little about their behavior.

D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

2.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because__________.

A. they are becoming less patient

B. they are growing too independent

C. they have to handle many important messages

D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.

3.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ___________.

A. Ridiculous B. disgusting

C. acceptable D. reasonable

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should applaud good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D. Technology will take over lives one day.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

3.The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

Walter Wetzel had met Ryan Lamantia nearly eight years ago in a hospital waiting room. Both were very sick——Ryan with brain cancer, Walter with leukemia (白血病). Ryan, who was 3 at the time, began making silly faces at Walter and chatted about going home to change into his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume. Several days later, Ryan moved to another hospital. Though they saw each other only a handful of times after that, Walter never forgot Ryan.

"He inspired me to fight against my cancer," said Walter, now 17, a football player. Then one day, Walter saw a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt at a mall, which made him decide to search out Ryan. Back home, Walter typed in "Ryan Lake in the Hills brain cancer" on his computer, and a link to a Facebook page for Ryan came up. But, the news was shocking.

Ryan had died on Sept. 8, 2005. He was 6. The Facebook page was for the Ryan Lamantia Foundation, a non-profit organization that Ryan's family formed after his death to raise money for brain cancer research.

Walter left this message right away: ."Ryan is my hero. My trips to the hospital were always horrible, until the day I met Ryan."

Ryan's mom's eyes were filled with tears as she read Waiter's message. "We always knew Ryan was special, but to hear it from somebody else, it really means the world to us," Lamantia said.

Walter wasn't the only person who was greatly impressed with Ryan.

"He was a little superhero," said Wendy Stellpflug, a nurse at Children' s Memorial Hospital. "Ryan always kept his spirits high, even after he suffered hearing loss and experienced 14 operations."

"Ryan didn’ t let his illness stop him. He always had a smile on his face," said Dr. Stewart Goldman, the doctor who treated Ryan.

Walter and his family have been in touch with the Lamantias for the past few weeks. And last week, they met for the first time since Ryan's death. The families told stories of being affected by cancer so young and Walter expressed his hope to volunteer with Ryan' s foundation.

1.Walter finally wanted to get in touch with Ryan because___________.

A. he saw the news about Ryan on the Internet

B. he wanted to thank Ryan in person

D. he raised money for Ryan

2.After reading Walter's message online, Ryan' s mom felt_____.
