After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. Thats when it happened: my father did not reach for it.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents and after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the bill, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I had become an adult.Some people mark off their life in years；I measure mine in small events. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me Mister. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch（重击）: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones（里程碑）. The policemen of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the fantasy that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now its what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home at evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them. And, maybe, Ill get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought Id want, feel close to ancestors long gone, and support my father in arguments with my son. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day - what a day! I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too, another milestone.51.The author realized his responsibility as an adult _ .A、when the waiter set the bill in the middle of the tableB、when he bought a house and became a fatherC、when a small boy addressed him as misterD、when his father didnt reach for the bill52.Then one day they were suddenly neither.

I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.Forty.No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, nm, youve been here two months, so.Two months and five days.Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays.you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays.Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. There days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven-nineteen. Take nineteen off.that leaves.hmm.forty one dollars. Correct?Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled；she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but-still not a word.Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer；take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but-forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due too your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave you ten dollars.You didnt,sobbed Julia.But I made a note of it.Well.if you say so.Take twenty seven from forty one-that leaves fourteen. Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!Only once was I given any money,she whispered, her voice trembling,and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three from fourteen.leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is!I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.Merci（法语，意为谢谢）,she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger.For what, this-merci?I asked.For the money.But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this merci?In my other places they didnt give me anything at all. They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you.Im going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you.Is it really possible to be so spineless（懦弱）? Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）-to be such a fool?Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression:It is possible.I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little merci several times and went out. I looked after her and thought:How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!56.While talking to Julia, the writer expected _ from her.A、a protestB、gratitudeC、obedienceD、an explanation57.What shocked the writer was Juilas _.A、nervousness in front of her bossB、acceptance of injusticeC、shyness when talking about moneyD、reluctance to express herself58.The writer said,Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?
