( C ) One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax(斧头)on his shoulder stopped me, saying, “ My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone(磨刀石)?” “Yes, sir,” said I. “ You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “ Will you let me grind my ax?” Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “ oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.” Patting me on the head, he said, “ Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water. “ How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “ I am sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?” Hearing the flattery, I went to work with a will. I t was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I couldnt get away, because the ax was not half ground. At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “ Now, you little rascal(坏蛋 ), youve played truant（逃學）! Run to school or youll be late!” “Alas!” I thought. “ I was hard enough to turn the a grindstone this cold winter day, but now to be called a rascal is too much. The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank deep into my mind, I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words flattery , I say to myself, “ That man has an ax to grind.” 91. In this passage, the word “flattery” means_. A. nice words said to please sb. in order to gain advantage. B. an order or direction C. useful words by older people to children D. good manners 92. Why did the man ask the boy so many questions? A. He wanted to know how old the boy is. B. He wanted to know the boys name C. He wanted to sharpen his ax. D. He liked the boy 93. When he heard the flattery the boy _. A. asked his father to help the man B. wanted to play truant C. was glad to help the man D. was afraid to accept the flattery 94. What did NOT happen to the boy _. A. He was tired B. He heard more words of flattery C. He was late for school D. He felt hurt by the mans words 95. The man called the boy a “ rascal” because _. A. he didnt need him any more B. he thought the boy didnt do any more C. his ax was damaged D. he didnt like the boy ( D ) Right is right. Right? But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left- handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “odexterious” comes from this word. It means “handy”(clever with hands), so right is handy. But the Latin word for left-handed people is “sinistra”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil”(very bad).Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isnt much of an improvement over “evil”. Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use. People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why did they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair-minded right handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand. 96. The passage leads us to believe that when one writes _. A. he can use his right hand only B. he can use his left hand only C. he can use either his right hand or left hand D. he shouldnt use his left hand 97. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Odexterous comes from old English B.
