阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案
Scarlett came into power at Tara now and, like others who became top leaders suddenly, all the bullying(威吓人的)nature in her rose to the surface. It was not that she was basically unkind. It was because she was afraid that others would learn about her short-comings and refuse to obey her. Besides, there was some pleasure in shouting at people and knowing they were afraid. She was not blind to the fact that her character was changing. Sometimes when she made others frightened, she wondered where her good manners had gone. All the gentleness Ellen had tried hard to put in her had fallen away from her as quickly as leaves fall from trees in the first cold wind of autumn.
Time and again, Ellen had said, “Be firm but be gentle with those below, especially darkies(黑人).”“But if I was gentle, the darkies would sit in the room all day, talking endlessly about the good old days when a house Negro wasn't supposed to do a field hand's work,”she would answer.
She couldn't even love her sisters now. They were simply a dead weight on her shoulders. As for cherishing(珍爱)them, wasn't she bathing them, combing their hair and feeding them, even walking miles every day to find vegetables? If she was overly kind and gentle to them, they'd probably stay longer in bed, and she wanted them on their feet again as soon as possible, so there would be four more hands to help her

查看习题详情和答案>>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(要求) equality(平等) 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 a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share(份额) of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.
It’s no wonder that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration(考虑) 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(取悦) men.
1. 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 good 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 men 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.
2. A woman may get angry if a man holds a door open for her because________________.
A. she doesn’t like him to pay too much attention to all her needs
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
3. 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 favor.
D. Men’s good manners such as offering their seats and opening the door, etc.
4. The writer most probably is________________________.
A. a man who thinks the changes are reasonable
B. a woman who wants equality
C. a man who doesn’t agree with the changes today
D. a woman who doesn’t agree with the changes today
