美好的声誉
文/比尔·盖瑟
一天下午,本吉和我一起在院子里工作,这正是大学的暑假期间,在我儿子前途未卜的时候。我真想向他说些什么。
休息时,本吉环视着我那15英亩的土地,有溪流,有树林,还有如碧波起伏的青草地。
“这地方真美。”他说,显出沉思和迷恋。
于是,我就将这片土地的来历告诉了本吉。
我们的第一个孩子苏珊娜出生不久,格洛丽亚和我在我长大的那个镇上教书。我们很需要一块土地来建造房子。我注意到在镇南面农民放牧牛群的那片土地,那是92岁的退休银行家尤尔先生的土地。他有许多土地,但一块也不卖。他总是说:“我已对农夫们许诺,让他们在这片土地上放牧牛群。”
尽管如此,格洛丽亚和我还是到银行拜访了他。他依旧在银行里消磨退休的岁月。我们走过一扇森严可畏的桃花芯木制的门。进入一间光线暗淡的办公室。尤尔先生坐在一张办公桌后面,看着《华尔街日报》。他几乎没有挪动一下,只从他那副眼镜上方看着我们。“不卖,”当我告诉他我们对这块土地感兴趣时他自豪地说,“我已经将这块土地许诺给一个农民放牧了。”
“我知道,”我有点紧张不安地回答,“但是我们在这里教书,也许你会卖给打算在这里定居的人。”他噘起嘴,瞪着眼看着我们,“你说你叫什么名字?”
“盖瑟。比尔·盖瑟。”
“嗯!和格罗费·盖瑟有什么亲戚关系吗?”
“是的,先生,他是我的爷爷。”
尤尔先生放下报纸,摘下眼镜,然后他指着两把椅子。于是我们就坐下来。“格罗费·盖瑟是我农场里曾经有过的最好的工人。”他说,“他到得早,走得晚,他把所有要干的事都干了,用不着吩咐。”老人探身向前。“如果有拖拉机要修理,让它搁着,他觉得不好受。”尤尔先生眯缝着眼,眼神中流露出遥远隐约的记忆,“你说你要什么,盖瑟?”
我又将买地的意思对他说了一遍。
“我想一想,你们过两天再来。”
一周后我又到他的办公室。尤尔先生说,他已经考虑过了。我屏住气息。“3800美元怎么样?”他问。以每亩3800美元计,那我要付出约6万美元,这不明摆着是拒绝吗?“3800美元?”我喉咙里仿佛梗塞着什么。“不错,15英亩卖3800美元。”我无限感激地接受了。
将近30年后,我和本吉漫步在这片美丽的土地上。“本吉。”我说,“这全都因为一个你从未见到过的人的美好的声誉。”
在爷爷的丧礼中,许多人对我说,爷爷宽容、慈祥、诚实和正直。这使我记起了一首诗:“我们要选择的,是美好的声誉,而不是财富,是爱的恩泽,而不是金银财宝。”美好的声誉就是爷爷盖瑟留给我们的遗产,我希望本吉将来在这片温柔的地上散步时,也将这个故事告诉他的儿子。”

(一)病 人
每天下午,她都准时来到医院大门口左侧的台阶上,铺下一张报纸,静静地坐在那儿看书。那是一本很厚的书。她的面前是一个花坛,红色的郁金香正在灿烂地开放。在她若有所思的时候,能看到她的那双大眼睛,平静而且清澈。虽然病号服并不合体,但并不能掩盖住她典雅的气质。她很友善,每当有人找她问事的时候,她都表现得非常耐心。我想,她可能是位教师或幼儿园阿姨。
起风了,她轻轻地合上那本书,又整整齐齐把那张报纸叠好,转身走进了大楼。
楼内的人渐渐多了起来,这个点儿有上班的,也有下班的,正好又是探视的日子。电梯刚停下,人们争着拥了进去。电梯马上就有了反应,发出“受不了”的报警声。最后上来的人没有下去的意思,她就从中间挤了出来,等下一趟。下一趟人照样很多,不过还好,电梯没有报警。人们纷纷选择自己要去的楼层数。有个农民模样的大伯触动数字7的时候,那数字就是不亮。他有些着急,还有些紧张,一遍一遍地摁,但没有人告诉他为什么。她发现后,急忙说:“大伯,这部电梯双层停。”大伯仍然没有明白过来什么是“双层停”。说话间已经到了8层。大伯不知道该怎么办,不肯下。她非常客气地对电梯内的人说:“请等我一下,我把他送到楼梯口。”她让大伯从8层走到7层。其实楼梯离电梯也就只有四五步远,她很快就回来了,电梯内的不少人只是表情严肃,并没有说什么。当然,肯定有人心里会想:这人真多事。电梯慢慢上行,一位手捧花篮的小伙子自言自语:口腔科病房是不是在12层?她主动接过来说:是的,往左拐。
电梯到了14层,一位急忙下电梯的姑娘不小心掉下了插在塑料袋里的一枝玫瑰。塑料袋里有几盒营养品,但只有这一枝玫瑰。这时电梯门将要关上,她迅速触动开门按钮并捡起那枝玫瑰,她还没有说完“请等我一下”就跨出了电梯,她一定是想把那枝玫瑰还给那位姑娘。对于姑娘要看望的人,那肯定是一枝浪漫温馨的玫瑰,一枝可以疗伤的玫瑰。但她没有想到,她后脚刚刚迈出电梯,电梯内一位戴眼镜的女士“啪”一下就把电梯给关上了,并及时触动了上行的按钮。“神经病!”她似乎憋了一肚子的火气没有发泄干净,继续说,“真的,这个人我知道,在这里住了一个多月了,精神病人。”“噢,我觉得她的行为不太正常。”另一个人接着说。电梯内剩下的十余人恍然大悟。大家觉得甩掉她真是太正常了。

(二)演 戏
我不明白自己为什么会有那股傻劲,在众目睽睽之下假装昏倒。我要证明什么?新加坡人的冷漠感?老实说,这个灵感还是来自长堤彼岸的一则新闻,一个记者,为了测试人的反应,与一个警察合作,他扮演抢匪,与扮演警察的警察在大街上追逐。结果他获得了满意的答案:没有人加入追逐的行列。由此而证明人类的自私等等,据说很是轰动。我请芬和我合作,我们扮演一对情侣,我们的目标是乌节路的一座购物中心。我们选择人最多的时刻走进去,然后按照计划,我仿佛喝醉了酒,一颠二摇就倒在地上。芬发出了尖锐的叫声,叫得蛮像的,多亏她练了三天的尖叫。这叫声果然奏效,一下子吸引了几个人上前来看。我虽然闭着眼,但两耳很清楚地听到皮鞋和高跟鞋的声音,心里稍稍感到温暖。“请你们帮帮忙,我的男朋友昏倒了。”芬以颤抖的声音说。她是我们戏剧团的成员,这点演技当然难不倒她。我正期待有一双强而有力的手,往我胳肢窝一夹,把我从地板上扶起来。然而,几分钟过去了,除了耳边嘈杂的声音外,那双手始终没出现。忽然肩膀被人拍了一下,芬的声音钻入耳根:“起来吧,戏演完了。”我站起来,拍拍身上的尘土。周围的人还是那么匆匆忙忙,仿佛刚才那一幕未曾发生过。倘若地上躺的是一具死尸,会不会有人走过去看一眼呢? 我们转移阵地到另一座购物中心去,如法炮制再昏倒一次,我始终无法接受那个叫做冷漠的现实。这次,倒有一对情侣上前来看几眼,不过也仅仅是几眼,什么话也没留下就走了。我正要睁眼的时候,一个洋妇(大约六十岁)走来了,我听见她问:“怎么回事?”芬说:“我男朋友昏倒了。”
“快送医院吧,需要我帮忙吗?”
芬还没回答,我已经忍不住爬起来了,老妇有点惊异,我把原委告诉她,她笑笑走开。我和芬都笑得很苦涩。“还要试下去吗?”芬问。
朋友,你说呢?

(三) 修 面
随着九爷推子擦擦的声响,父亲浓密而微卷的胡子一绺一绺地掉在白色的围布上。父亲紧闭着眼,一动不动。
很快,九爷就将父亲的络腮胡子和嘴唇周围的胡子推了一遍,父亲剩着胡碴的脸像收割后的麦地。
九爷放下推子,说你爹怕有一两个月没剃胡子了吧?
我说是的,他病了两个多月了。
九爷取出香皂盒,吩咐我去倒点热水来。
我提起墙角那只父亲用了许多年的铁壳水瓶,倒了开水,又从缸里舀出冷水对上,试了试水温,把脸盆端给了九爷。
九爷拿出一张叠得整整齐齐的脸帕,卧进水里,停了一会儿后捞起,稍稍捏捏水,便用帕子在父亲的腮上和嘴唇四周来回地润;润过后,才用细毛刷子刷上香皂沫子,刷在父亲刚推过的胡碴上;然后九爷才掰开剃刀,向父亲抹满香皂沫子的脸上刮下去。我看着九爷努力地叉开腿,弓下身,不断地变换着姿势,以便更好地剃掉父亲粗壮的胡碴……
小的时候,父亲总爱用他的胡碴扎我的脸。记得有一次我拉着父亲的手,指着墙上的马克思、恩格斯像对他说:爹,你为啥不留个他们那样的“大扫帚”呢?父亲笑着刮刮我的鼻子,说那多不方便,吃饭还得撩着胡子。说着父亲就做了一个撩起胡子的动作,惹得我哈哈大笑。其实我知道。作为民办教师的父亲工资微薄,同时也没有足够的时间经常去理发修面,因为每天都有两个班七八十名学生的课等着他去上、作业等着他去批改,还有许多永远做不完的家务。而父亲的胡子又属于长得特别快的那种,像割后的韭菜,因此父亲不得不每隔两三天,就用剪刀剪掉自己的胡子。父亲不是那种不修边幅的人,相反,他在学生面前总保持严肃、端庄、整洁的形象,剪掉胡子可以说是父亲不多的课余时间里十分关注的事情。 九爷的剃刀刮过,父亲的腮边及嘴唇四周一片铁青。应当说,刮了胡子的父亲是个相貌堂堂的男人,尽管那脸庞多少显得有些苍白和瘦削。二十多年来,父亲很少正经八百地修过面,现在父亲有时间躺下来享受那每个成熟男子应当享有的刀子轻轻拂过的快感了……九爷是个地道的老剃头匠,每道工序都极熟练极认真,不多时,九爷的剃刀就又刮完了父亲的额头、眉下、鼻梁、耳廓,最后拧一把热毛巾,给父亲擦了脸。这样,修面的全部工序才算结束。九爷撤去围布,我扣上父亲半新的中山装的风纪扣,然后走出门,对等在门外的一长串臂缠黑纱、手拿白花的学生说,你们可以进去了…… (选自《小小说选刊》)
【练 习】
1.写出你对“剪掉胡子可以说是父亲不多的课余时间里十分关注的事情”的理解。
2.“等在门外的一长串臂缠黑纱、手拿白花的学生”中“一长串”一词可否删去?为什么?
3.故事的结尾出人意料,但并不是故弄玄虚,文中有多处伏笔,请写出其中的3处。并写出这样结尾的作用。
4.作者晓尧曾说:“小小说就是那种真正让自己感动过的东西,久久萦绕于怀之后,最终以绝佳的方式流泻出来。”在这篇小说中,①真正让作者感动过的“久久萦绕于怀”的是什么?②“绝佳的方式”又指什么?
(一)1.①交待故事发生的时间、地点、人物; ②烘托人物的外在美和典雅的气质。 2.①电梯超载,“最后上来的人没有下去的意思,她就从中间挤了出来,等下一趟”。②农民大伯不明白什么是“双层停”,她走出电梯送大伯。③电梯里有人对要去的地方不肯定,她主动指点。④急忙下电梯的姑娘的玫瑰花掉了,她迅速捡起追了出去。共同点:主动帮助别人。 3.①电梯上戴眼镜的女士和剩下的十余。②冷漠、自私自利。③揭示了当前社会上人与人之间冷漠病态的关系,从而唤醒人们的良知,宁可被冷漠的人视为“病人”,也不要成为不知关心别人只知关心自己的冷血动物。 4.参考角度:写作角度独特,以小见大,把生活中最平淡无奇的事,浓缩在乘电梯这样一个平常而又独特的场景,使情节更集中,人物更突出。小说所反映的事发人深思,却没有教条的说教,褒贬也不露声色,符合小小说创作的重要法则:“倾向应当从场面和情节本身流露出来,而不应当特别把它点出来”(恩格斯)。以人物自身的言行表现人物形象。用对比的手法使人物形象更鲜明,主题更突出。
[二]
1.(1)希望能够推翻一个新闻记者证明的“人类是自私”的说法,测试一下新加坡人的冷漠感。不相信人们真的会那么冷漠。(2)不希望。“我”不相信人们真的会那样冷漠。 2.(1)感到有人来帮助自己,证明人们并不是冷漠麻木的,自己演戏的目的达到了。(2)对麻木冷漠的人们一种深深的失望和悲伤。 3.我不相信人与人之间是冷漠的,不相信新加坡人没有同情心,然而事实证明了现实就是如此,惟一愿意帮助自己的还是一个大约六十岁的外国妇女。我对这样的现实感到痛苦和失望,同时也包含了对这种结果的不甘心。 4.BD
(三)1.①父亲不是那种不修边幅的人。②父亲工资微薄,工作量大,家务繁重,没有时间去修面。③父亲很尊重自己的学生,在学生面前总是保持严肃、端庄、整洁的形象。 2.不能删去。“一长串”表明来悼念父亲的学生很多,更能表现父亲在学生们心中的地位。从而使父亲作为一个地位卑微的民办教师的形象更突出、更高大。 3.伏笔:①父亲紧闭着眼,一动不动。②我说是的,他病了两个多月了。③现在父亲有时间躺下来享受那每个成熟男子应当享有的刀子轻轻拂过的快感了。作用:扣人心弦,震憾人心。 4.①父亲默默无闻、兢兢业业、无私奉献的高贵品质。②侧面描写。通过我的回忆以及我、九爷、学生们对父亲的态度来写父亲。

D. 2022考研英语阅读:阅读中错误选项的部分特征总结
一、太过肯定或太过否定的表达
考研英语阅读选用的是西方核心报刊杂志的学术性议论文,因为学术性这一性质,文章表达的内容都相对客观以及理性,不会出现有失偏颇的观点,即不会太过,肯定也不会太过否定,万事留有余地。所以,当选项当中出现太过于肯定或者太过于否定的表达,如果文章当中没有明确表明的话,大概率是一个错误选项。
举例:(2018年英语二text4)
Another approach to getting more done in less time is to rethink how you reprioritize your day – in particular how we craft our to-do lists. Tim Harford, author of Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives, points to a study in the early 1980s that divided undergraates into two groups: some were advised to set out monthly goals and study activities; others were told to plan activities and goals in much more detail, day by day.
While the researchers assumed that the well-structured daily plans would be most effective when it came to the execution of tasks, they were wrong: the detailed daily plans demotivated students. Harford argues that inevitable distractions often render the daily to-do list ineffective, while leaving room for improvisation in such a list can reap the best results.
37. The study in the early 1980s cited by Harford shows that .
A. students are hardly motivated by monthly goals
B. detailed plans may not be as fruitful as expected
C. distractions may actually increase efficiency
D. daily scheles are indispensable to studying
解析:该题根据第二段第一句,可得出正确答案为B。错误选项中,D选项意为:日常计划对于学习而言不可或缺。其中“不可或缺”这一表意太过绝对,大概率可判断为错误选项。
二、偷换概念(偷换中心词)
阅读当中错误选项还有一个特点,就是喜欢偷换概念。之前我们讲过偷换概念的一种形式,就是扩大表述范围。但这次讲的偷换概念,指的是偷换中心词。比如,原文中表述:小明喜欢吃草莓味的饼干。此时某个选项中就可能表述为:小明喜欢吃草莓味的糖果。虽然都是草莓味,但是中心词已经由饼干变成了糖果,这是完全不一样的。
举例:(2012年英语一text4)
Reform has been vigorously opposed, perhaps most egregiously in ecation, where charter schools, academies and merit pay all faced drawn-out battles. Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality of the teachers is the most important variable, teachers’ unions have fought against getting rid of bad ones and promoting good ones.
As the cost to everyone else has become clearer, politicians have begun to clamp down. In Wisconsin the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker, the hardline Republican governor. But many within the public sector suffer under the current system, too.
39. The example of the unions in Wisconsin shows that unions
[A]often run against the current political system.
[B]can change people’s political attitudes.
[C]may be a barrier to public-sector reforms.
[D]are dominant in the government.
解析:该题由第一段第一句以及第二段第一句可知,正确答案为C。而错误选项中,A、B都为偷换概念。原文中二段首句中出现了politician政客,而A、B中分别出现了political system政治体系、political attitudes政治态度,三者都与政治有关,但是中心词却分别为人、体系、态度,截然不同。
三、“interest”
这一词表示的是“兴趣”,偶尔会出现在选项当中,近几年来出现该单词的选项,都是一个错误选项。因为兴趣代表着人的主观判断,主观性是比较强的,如果文中没有明确表示某人对某事物是否有兴趣,则该选项就会变成主观臆断。命题人利用的就是看不懂文章的同学的猜测心理,让同学们想“他应该是对这个事物有兴趣吧?”而其实文章并没有明确表示。
举例:(2013年英语一text1)
Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment – including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line –Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford not to.
24. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
[A] Vanity has more often been found in idealists.
[B] The fast-fashion instry ignores sustainability.
[C] People are more interested in unaffordable garments.
[D] Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing.
解析:该题由该段末句可知,正确答案为D。错误选项中,C选项意为:人们对买不起的衣服更感兴趣,而原文中并没有提及人们是否对此感兴趣,因此该选项为主观臆断。
(2013年英语一text3)
Perhaps willfully, it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today's technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That's one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future.
33. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 5?
[A] Arc helps limit the scope of futurological studies.
[B] Technology offers solutions to social problem.
[C] The interest in science fiction is on the rise.
[D] Our Immediate future is hard to conceive.
解析:该题由首句可知,正确答案为D。错误选项中,选项C意为:(人们)对科幻小说的兴趣正在上升。而原文中并没有提及人们是否对此感兴趣,因此该选项为主观臆断。
这些特征仅仅是通过多年试题情况的大数据而言,并不是今后出现该特征的选项一定是错误选项,而是可以让同学们把这些特征作为看不懂文章时排除选项的下下策,希望能对同学们有所帮助。

All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked; he didn’t want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was going to grow up. So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn’t stop. But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldn’t run far, and I coughed every morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasn’t easy, but now I’ve done it, and I feel better. Now I have money for other things.
If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack. And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.
What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure. The cigarette smoke also reces the amount of oxygen in the blood. Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.
So if you want to rece your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy –– not to smoke. Don’t your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop. Stopping isn’t easy, but you’ll be healthier, and ....

吸烟是什么做的心?首先,它使心跳速度和增加血压。在香烟烟雾中也减少了血液中的氧气。因此,心脏必须加倍努力,以较少的氧。最后,您将动脉狭窄更快如果你吸烟。

F. 英语小说阅读题
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for ecation, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American 'dream' was to have a house in the suburb.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now alts. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburb because their jobs are there ; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city---a wealthier, more mobile class.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.

Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the instry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar, ”says Mary. One figure caught her attention:She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100, 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.
The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120, 000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420, 000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks. Richard and Mary together earn about $34, 000.
“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income, ”says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money. ”

试题分析:文章介绍了一位女作家请纽约的朋友吃饭时发生的故事。Welty是一位年纪比较大的作家,她来自密西西比。Welty的作品都是来自于现实的生活。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第一段“another customer was approaching their table”和第三段“the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair”可知,先后有两个陌生人(一位女士及其同伴)加入了 Welty他们的聚会,故选A。
6.D猜测词义题。划线的them指代前面提到的人或物,根据“Now we believe your stories”可知,them指代的是Wdty写的小说里面的故事,听了Wdty和两个陌生人的有关密西西比的谈话之后,Wdty的朋友相信了Wdty小说里的故事都是来源于生活,故选D。
7.C推理判断题。根据“I don’t make them up”和“Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus.”可知,Welty小说里的人物并非虚构的,他们都来源于现实的生活,故选C。
