One day one person met him and said, Do you know what I just heard about your friend?. Hold on a minute, Socrates replied. Before telling me anything Id like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple Filter Test(三重过滤测试). Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what youre going to say. Thats why I call it the Triple Filter Test. The first filter is truth. Have you made absolutely(完全地) sure that what you are about to tell me is true? No, the man said, actually I just heard about it and. All right, said Socrates. So you dont know whether its true or not. Now lets try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good? No, on the contrary. So, Socrates continued, you want to tell me something bad about him, but youre not certain its true. You may still pass the test though, because theres one filter left: the filter of Usefulness(有益性). Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me? No, not really. Well, said Socrates, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me? （1）Socrates came from_. A . AsiaB . AmericaC . AfricaD . Europe（2）The person wanted to tell Socrates about_. A . what he heardB . what he sawC . what he metD . what he did（3）The Triple Filter Test had _questions. A . twoB . threeC . fourD . five（4）The person heard of_ about Socrates friend. A . something goodB . something badC . something funnyD . something useful（5）At last, that person told _to Socrates.
