  Trogmire Troll was dealing with a crisis. The new girl in class really liked him a lot. Trogmire was not happy about it.

  Trogmire's good friend, Tremor Troll, tried to comfort him. “What's the big deal? I think Treasure Troll is kind of cute (可发的). And she seems to be nice enough.”

  Trogmire swallowed his last bite of poison sumac salad and glared at Tremor. “Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. March over there and ask her to be your sweetie-poo!”

  “She's crazy about you, not me,” Tremor replied.

  “Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a weird (古怪的) annoying (烦人的) one like her!” Trogmire growled.

  Tremor wouldn't give up. “The only thing annoying about her is that she keeps writing you those notes and she stares.”

  “Yucky love notes!” Trogmire interrupted. He took another sip of mole milk. “Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren't they normal red or pink?”

  Tremor took another look at Treasure. “I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she's very sweet and that's what really matters.”

  Trogmire stuck out his tongue. “I think I'm going to be sick! I'd better save my apple pies for later.” He crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket. “The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is getting on my nerves!”

  Tremor followed Trogmire's example and decided to save his apple pies for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box. “Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?” Tremor asked.

  “I'm going to be mean and rude to her,” Trogmire announced. “I'll call her names and make ugly faces at her.”

  “That's how you treat everyone”, Tremor reminded his friend.

  Trogmire nodded. “It's time that Treasure got to know the real Trogmire Troll!”

C
  What comes as a shock to many Westerners may be the unfriendly way that some Chinese treat waiters and waitresses in restaurants and bars. Over the last few years,as many in Beijing have made fortunes,I and many of my foreign friends have noticed a downturn in the treatment of those who work all hours and often live in terrible conditions to bring us our food,guard our homes and sell us clothes.It's not the common citizens,but the young nouveau riches(暴发户) Chinese in Beijing who are mostly guilty of this both social and human misbehavior.
  It is not unusual to see and hear these people,especially the young women among their ranks,speaking rudely to the waiters and waitresses,as they sit there in the misguided belief that the latest mobile phone,a new car and designer clothes give them the right to talk to people like dirt.In one recent incident(事件) in an expensive restaurant near where I live ,I overheard the table next to me,two guys and a girl,tell the waitress "You really are stupid ",because she had brought them two glasses instead of three.They all burst into loud laughter as the young girl ran away to fetch another.In anther incident I saw a waitress reduced to tears as four well-dressed girls criticized everything from her accent to her looks.
  Lately I have noticed that this rather unpleasant aspect of the nouveau riches has been taken up by many of their foreign peers(同类人).So I ask Beijing's bright young things to set a good example,and treat all people with equal respect.And I urge foreigners to follow the good examples of their Chinese language teachers and textbooks while adding some of the pleasantries of their own cultures,so that cultural interpenetration(相互渗透) has a positive influence and not a negative one.
  Here I'd like to leave you with the words from Confucius:"What you do not wish for yourself, do not "do to others."
  64.The writer has noticed that less respect is shown to _______ in Beijing in recent years.
   A.common citizens          B.waiters and the like
   C.young nouveau riches      D.some foreigners
  65.The two incidents mentioned in Paragraph 2 are used to show ______.
   A.waiters and waitresses can make excusable mistakes
   B.waitresses are usually too shy to be laughed at
   C.some Beijingers are too particular about restaurant service
   D.what's being talked about is not rare
  66.The young Beijingers are asked to set a good example in order to ______
   A.have good influence over foreigners
   B.leave a good impression on foreigners
   C.educate younger Chinese
   D.develop traditional Chinese culture
  67.The origial title of the article is most likely to be _______.
   A.One Dark Side of the Bright Chinese Capital
   B.Beijing's Young Nouveau Riches,Watch Out
   C.Dno't Throw Away Good Manners,Please
   D.People Like Waiters Live at Bottom of Society

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors (统治者) and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.

People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱)in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages(野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized.  People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that power is right.

This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated (disabled). And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets — while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life — nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.

                 .

       A.certainly both the most powerful and most civilized.

       B.neither the greatest nor the most civilized in any way.

       C.possibly either the most civilized or the most powerful in a way.

       D.likely the most powerful in some sense but not the most civilized.

4.The meaning of the last sentence in Paragraph 2 is that          .

       B.only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
