【高考真题】
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad mews from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.
54. In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was _____.
A. friendly B. warm-hearted
C. not considerate D. not helpful
55. From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer _____.
A. was mad at the sales agent
B. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams
D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night
解析:
54. 选C。推理判断题。由文章第二段的最后两个句子以及最后一段的第一个句子可知,作者对邻居的态度很不满意,充分说明邻居不体谅别人的感受。故选C。
55. 选A。推理判断题。本题要求推断文中细节事实。由这个表达的字面意思及第三段描述的内容可知,当作者气喘吁吁地将钱递进售票柜台时,售票员却告知他汽车已在五分钟之前开走了,而且还大笑,没有丝毫的同情感。故作者肯定是非常生气。
