mediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.

You can' t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.

It' s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man' s 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.

It's very interesting to study names of different countries. Chinese names are different from foreign names. Once an English lady came to {look at; watch; visit} me. When I was introduced to her she said, “Glad to meet you, Miss Ping.” Then she gave me her name card with three words on itA、“Betty J. Black”. So I said, “Thank you, Miss Betty.” We looked at each other and laughed heartily. Later I found that the English people {put; brought; took} their family names last and the given names first, while their middles are not used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name {came; comes; put} first, the given name last, so she {would; could; should} never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didn't. But people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first, the other words after it {is; was; are} a two-word given name. It is quite usual in China. My sister is Li Xiaofang. She has two words in her given name instead of just one like mine.

A．stand up and offer her his seat

B．read his newspaper

C．look out of the window

D．not stand up and offer her his seat

“Oh, yes,” the old lady said. “I love 'Let's Pretend' game.”

“Good. I'll ask you a question first,” the doctor said. “Then you can tell me one.”

He pretended to think for a few moments. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery？” “Oh, that's an easy one,” the old lady said. “I'd give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years. Doctor!”

第三节 短文理解2

阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。

"I would almost rather see you dead. "Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist.

In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady's family ranked among the best of Philadelphia's social families, such an idea could not even be considered.

That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her straggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father's anger. Instead, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young la- dy. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance, she became America's most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.

How did Mr. Cassatt react when his daughter made her announcement？

A．He feared for her life.

B．He was very angry.

C．He nearly killed her.
