第 13 练 阅读理解
一、阅读理解
Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases ( 行李
箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as
you can.” cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to
Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly
picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything
I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.
I asked him to repeat.
“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took
me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself
to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed
the children and put them to bed. One job after another.
When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean,
shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there’s
anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the
boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that one?” I
reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

二、阅读理解
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years ago.
Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as
would her characters. Here’ s my own suggestion.
It’s a truth finally and generally acknowledged that a single woman with brains should have equal
opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel sexism (性别歧视).
“My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day. “Have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so
long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心) husband replied that he had not. “but it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr
Dull—husband made no reply.
“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.
“Well, my dear, the rumor is that she had already set up a string of successful business in northern England,
though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is
her name?” “Bingley.”
“Is she married or single?”
“What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How
so? How can it possibly affect them?”
“My dear love, those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are certain to be jobs going.”
