A
My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we
didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the
same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join
in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery
greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare,
but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off,
they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of
shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our
extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the
silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were
shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus. We greeted her
with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile.
When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she
hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving
special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.
“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots
of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying.
And that’s not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better.
But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
1.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A. Friends of the Road B. The Silent Woman on the Bus
C. Going to Work by Bus D. Different Kinds of Friendship
2.All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.
A. poor B. warm -hearted C. silent D. cold
3.The underlined word “establish” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as
___________.
A. keep B. discover C. set up D. accept
4. Why did the woman usually keep silence while taking the bus?
A. She was worried about her disabled son.
B. She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple us a single mother.
C. She had difficulty in expressing herself.
D. She was only interested in the bus driver.
B
A poor traveller stopped under the tree to eat the boiled rice and vegetalbes which he had
brought with him. A few metres away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a
woman was frying fish and selling it to travellers. The woman watched the poor traveller carefully,
and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven’t paid me for the
fried fish!”
“
But I have not had any fried fish !” he said.
“
But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and
vegetables,” said the woman, “If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so
pleasant!”
Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveller, they had to admit that
wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell
of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveller to a judge, who said: “The woman says that the
traveller ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The traveller agrees that the wind was
blowing from the woman’s shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables and that it
carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it . What does
your fried fish cost?” he asked the woman.
“
Twenty-five cents a plate,” she answered, delighted.
“
Then go outside together,” said the judge. “There the traveler must hold up a twenty-five-cent
piece so that its shadow(
影子
) falls on the woman’s hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried
fish is the shadow of twenty-five cents.”
5. Why did the traveler refuse to pay the woman for the fried fish? Because __________.
A. he was poor B. he was rude
C. he was supported by a crowd. D. he hadn’t eaten her fried fish at all
6. When the judge asked the woman a question, she felt ___________.
A. excited B. anxious C. glad D. angry
7. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The traveller bought the boiled rice and vegetables and ate them by the side of the road.
B. The judge had no idea what the woman meant.
C. In the fifth paragraph, the first “it” has the same meaning as the second “it”.
D.The woman got nothing but the shadow of twenty-five cents in the end.
