counter,

only
one

was
there
to
take
care
of
the
customers.
Some
customers
ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line.
All I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.

ladies with snail (
蜗牛
). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at
me
sympathetically
and
the
customer
behind
me
called
to
the
staff
person,
“You
should

t
here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.

If someone asked me,

One day a very skilled artist met a beautiful woman who immediately became the object of his
affections. As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered
her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.

Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more
the object of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was
as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to
whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to
put her rare beauty on canvas.


“Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “and I will make your beauty permanent. The
work will be my masterpiece!”


She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will
be
happy
to
sit
for
you.”
So
the
beautiful,
young
wife
of
the
artist
sat
meek
ly
for
hours
in
his
studio, not complaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved
him
and
because
she
hoped
that
he
would
see
her
love
in
her
smile
and
obedience.
She
sometimes wanted to call out to him, “Please love me
and want me as a person rather than as an
object!” But instead, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him.

At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He
only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his
beautiful work of art, he cried with a loud voice, “
This is indeed life itself!
” Then he turned to his
beloved and saw that she was dead!

（
1
）
In what way did the artist express his appreciation of his wife's rare beauty?

A. He put her classic beauty on canvas. B. He promised to marry her.

C. He centered his deep affection on her.
D. He pledged his love and promised his life to her.

（
2
）
What can be inferred from the story?

A. The artist loved his work more than his wife.
B. The artist didn't really understand what is
beauty.

C. The wife was fooled to sacrifice for his art creation.
D. The wife loved his painting more
than herself.

（
3
）
What did the artist mean by saying “This is indeed life itself!”
？


A. He appreciated his life of painting. B. He was grateful to his wife.

C. His work was more true to life than life itself.
D. His effort was really worth it.

back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way
of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded
by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40
years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now make up a
small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.

There's a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World.
Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the
lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too --- that's why it made Nov 16th


But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance
consequence
of
humanity.
We
are
all
formed
of
frailty
(
脆弱
)
and
error;
let
us
pardon
each
other's fool --- that is the first law of nature.

Very often, people don't realize that they're intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to
do with ignorance. For example, the UN's campaign is in part about the treatment of females by
males.
But
often,
the
behavior
of
men
toward
women
is
intolerant
because
men
don't
put
themselves in the shoes of women.


It's
worth
thinking
a
little
about
the
words

and

Are
they
the
best
words to describe the evils of which we're speaking here? To agree to be
isn't
necessarily
a
very
respectful
thing.
When
someone
is
tolerated,
it
implies
that
there's
something wrong with them.

Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that
we
all
share.
That's
the
reason
we
should
be
tolerant.
It's
a
little
like
generosity.
We
can
give
things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.

（
1
）
What's the purpose of the UN

A. To arouse people's awareness of tolerance among people. B. To celebrate the founding of
the UN.

C. To
solve
the
problem
of
global
warming.
D. To
change
peopled
opinion
towards
globalization.

（
2
）
Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?

A. Because men don't realize the purpose of the UN. B. Because men are physically stronger
than women.

C. Because
men
don't
appreciate
the
shoes
of
women. D. Because
men
are
not
willing
to
understand women.

（
3
）
Why is it meaningless to use the words

A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English. B. Because they don't express the exact
meaning people refer to.

C. Because they can't be translated into other languages. D. Because they can't be used in a
respectful way.

（

）
In what sense is

A. Humans are advised to treat others better. B. Humans leant to find faults in others.
