  Mr West wanted to buy his wife a Christmas present, but he was always very busy, so he was never able to find time to go to the shops. At last when it was the week before Christmas, and the shops were very crowded, he decided that he could not wait any longer. That day he didn't have lunch in a restaurant as usual. He bought some bread, ate it quickly, and then went to a big shop near his office. The shop was full of women, who were also buying presents during their lunch time hour. Mr West stood politely at the edge(邊緣) of a crowd of women who were pushing forward(向前) to try to get to the shop assistants. He tried to move forward slowly, taking his turn with the others, but more and more women were coming into the shop and pushing past him.

  After half an hour, he was just as far from the shop assistants as he had been when he came in, and his lunch hour was coming to an end, so he decided to change his way of doing things. He put his head down, gave a loud shout and started to push his way towards(朝……,向……) the front of the crowd as hard as he could.

  The women around him became very angry, and began to shout at him. “Ladies,” he answered, “I have been behaving(表現(xiàn)) like a gentleman for the past hours, and it has got me nowhere, so now I am starting to behave like a lady!”

[  ]

A.Mr West didn't go to buy presents until the week before Christmas.

C.Mr West couldn't wait to buy his wife a Christmas present.

2.Mr West went to buy his wife a present ________.

[  ]

C.a(chǎn)fter his lunch time in a restaurant

3.When Mr West got to the shop, ________.

[  ]

B.he had to stand away from the crowd

C.he found it was hard to get to the shop assistants

4.Mr West decided to push forward because ________.

5.The women were angry with him because ________.

[  ]

A.they thought Mr West behaved like a woman

B.Mr West showed bad manners(沒禮貌)

C.Mr West was the only man in the crowd

答案:A;B;C;B;B
解析:

  1.短文第一段開頭提到,Mr West想給太太買圣誕禮物。在圣誕節(jié)的前一周,盡管商店很擁擠,Mr West決定不再等了。所以A項答案是正確的。

  2.根據(jù)That day he didn't have lunch in a restaurant as usual.可知答案為B

  3.短文第一段提到,商店里有很多女士向前擁擠,使得Mr West不擠就很難到售貨員面前,故答案為C

  4.文中提到,Mr West是利用吃午飯時間出來買禮物。因為午飯時間快結(jié)束了,再等下去他就要遲到了,所以他決定也向前擠。

  5.西方習俗“女士優(yōu)先”,商店里的女士們認為男士禮讓是理所當然的,所以她們認為Mr West在那兒擠是不禮貌的。
