Be a good mouthpiece. 答案 ACDC [2010年1月更新] Passage 45 (山东省淄博市2010届高三上学期期末考试) A After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you. I agreed. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son. At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: `I love YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other time.

My friend took his colleague to see an art exhibition in north London.

The show was basically piles of breeze blocks (煤渣砖) forming armchair and sofa shapes, painted in primary colors.

Seeing these, the colleague said, “You brought me all the way out here to see this pile of junk when we could have been having a nice lunch?” He continued his rant about the work all the way back to the office.

When they got there my friend said, “You said you don’t like the work, but you haven’t stopped talking about it since you first saw it.”

Whether he liked it or not, he could not forget it.

If the artwork is fresh and new, you can’t expect to like it straightaway, because you have nothing to compare it with.

The effort of coming to terms with things you do not understand makes them all the more valuable to you when you do grasp them.

Good art speaks for itself. That doesn’t mean you have to like it.

So the next time you go to an art show, or look at anything for that matter, observe what effect it has on you and try to form your own opinion.

That way, you become the critic and not a mouthpiece for someone else’s opinions.

What does the colleague think about the art exhibition?

A. He feels it a waste of time going to the exhibition.

B. He is very interested in the work shown on the exhibition.

C. He is disappointed that art is abused on the exhibition.

D. He thinks his understanding about art is far better than the author of the work on the show.

The underlined word ‘rant’ means ________.

A. praise B. hatred C. complaint D. misunderstanding

Which of the following does NOT represent the author’s opinion about art?

A. Good art speaks for itself.

B. Good art doesn’t mean you have to like it.

C. It matters more what impression a piece of art work leaves on you.

D. Learn to be a mouthpiece for someone’s opinion matters more.

What suggestion does the author give for going to an art show?

A. Like it whether it is good or not.

B. Don’t compare it with anything.

C. Observe its effect and form your own opinion .

D. Be a good mouthpiece.
