阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　An “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment．It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂),but is close to it．

　　All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices－just about everybody．Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed．

　　There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing”－“soft-soaping” or “butter-up”．A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”．Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise－telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is．

　　Endless are the ways of flattery．Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is．In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it．

　　We need it to be more sure of ourselves．It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it．But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves．

　　Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it．A good example is the famous 12 th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England．The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣)．They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power．

　　He decided to teach them a lesson．He took them to the seashore and sat down．Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in．The tide was too busy to listen to him．The king was satisfied．This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery．

(1)

Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing” ?
[　　]
A．	A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks
B．	An employee tells his boss how good he is at management
C．	A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers
D．	A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom．

(2)

Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?
[　　]
A．	Too much flattery can carry us away
B．	Flattery is too empty to do people any good
C．	Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride
D．	Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people．

(3)

King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because ________．
[　　]
A．	he was sick of his normal
B．	he disliked being overpraised any more
C．	he wanted them to realize how wise he was
D．	he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king

(4)

The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who ________．
[　　]
A．	are really excellent
B．	lack confidence
C．	are politicians or in high offices
D．	think highly of themselves

Yousuf Karsh，the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century，died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th，2002．He was 93．

??? Working from a studio in Ottawa，Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill，John F．Kennedy，Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein．Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects．In the latest edition of Who’s Who，which listed the most notable people of the last century，Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed．

??? As a master portraitist，often working in black and white．Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right，asking them questions and putting them at ease．In preparation，he read as much as he could about the sitters，but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them．He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967，to capture the “essential element which has made them great，” explaining，“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden，and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can．”

Karsh was born in America in 1908，and his uncle，George Nakash，brought him to John Garo，all outstanding photographer，to teach him in 1928．Four years later，Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa．

In December of 1941，his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame．Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons．Not told，Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and，when he didn’t，stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment，“Forgive me，Sir．”Churchill glowered (怒目而视) as the shot was taken，then permitted Karsh to take still another,；jokingly commenting，“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed．” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world．

??? Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family．All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability．

1.What did Karsh seek to do most in working?

A．Capture the essence and greatness of the character．

B．Present the true and vivid expression of the subject．

C．Make the photograph more colorful and expressive．

D．Reveal the idea he has got in preparing for the shot．

A．following time order????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? B．providing examples

C．making comparisons????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? D．giving causes and effects

A．Churchill was asked to stand still when Karsh took a photograph of him

B．Churchill’s portrait hanging in the House of Commons gave Karsh great fame

C．Karsh was listed as one of the 100 notables by Who’s Who in the last century

D．Karsh could skilfully adjust the subjects’ mood when photographing them
