**金黄的稻束**郑敏

　　金黄的稻柬站在　　割过的秋天的田里，　　我想起无数个疲倦的母亲，　　黄昏路上我看见那皱了的美丽的脸，　　收获日的满月在　　高耸的树巅上，　　暮色里，远山　　围着我们的心边，　　没有一个雕像能比这更静默。　　肩荷着那伟大的疲倦，你们　　在这伸向远远的一片　　秋天的田里低首沉思，　　静默。静默。历史也不过是　　脚下一条流去的小河，　　而你们，站在那儿　　将成为人类的一个思想。1．下列对这首诗的解说，不恰当的一项是（  ）A．“金黄的稻束站在／割过的秋天的田里”一句交代了时间。从全诗看，除了“秋天”外，还隐指“暮色”降临之前。B．“黄昏路上我看见那皱了的美丽的脸”，把“皱”与“美丽”并列，寓有讴歌母亲的劳动和感叹时光流逝之意。C．“你们／在这伸向远远的一片……”的诗句中，“你们”指诗歌的主要形象“金黄的稻束”。D．“历史也不过是／脚下一条流去的小河”，这实际上就是稻束“低首沉思”的内容。2．下列对这首诗的赏析，不恰当的一项是（  ）A．诗歌以“金黄的稻束”为中心展开联想，通过稻田、路上、天空、远山等空间性的位移传达一个时间性的主题--对劳动中生命力消逝的沉思。B．诗歌赋予“金黄的稻束”以积极、强烈的视觉印象和消极、“静默”无言的听觉感受，意在利用两者的不协调，把关注点从外在画面转向内在生命感受。C．“金黄的稻束”“收获日的满月”等形象都具有圆满意味，但诗歌未写收获日的快慰和满足，却引人思考劳动者母亲的“疲倦”。D．“肩荷着那伟大的疲倦”一句中的主语，应该是美丽的母亲，而不是如雕像一样站在“秋天的田里”沉思的“稻束”。

A week ago, I read When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read, and that included one trip to the coffee maker and about 10 distractions （分心)from Alex, our cat, who thinks he is the center of the universe. When I first received a copy, I thought it was a get-rich-quick type of publication. There is nothing wrong with that kind of book, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse. When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money. I absolutely love this e-book. Why did I wait a week to write the review ？ simple. I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle（副标题)which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. It has been a week and the impact is the same. I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it. 小题1:What’s the purpose of the passage？

A．to strongly recommend an e-book

B．to show the author’s attitude to money

C．to introduce the general idea of an e-book

D．to tell us Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry小题2:The author didn’t write the review right after reading because _____.

A．he was too excited to write anything

B．he was not sure whether he liked the book

C．he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission

D．he wondered if this book had a long influence on him小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage？

A．The author had known Rich Ezzo before

B．The author hasn’t dreamed of getting rich instantly

C．The author always prefers e-books to paper books

D．The author likes the get-rich type of publication

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. Now how does a woman go about buying clothes？ In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round". She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. 小题1:According to the passage, a man’s shopping is based on _______.

A．his money

B．his hobbies

C．his need

D．his friends小题2:Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress？

A．Because she wants to buy a dress that every one thinks suits her.

B．Because she doesn’t know how to buy a dress.

C．Because she doesn’t know whether to buy it or not.

D．Because she wants to show herself off in public.小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？

A．Most men have patience with trying it on while buying a jacket.

B．Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress.

C．A woman’s shopping is based on her need.

D．A man doesn’t pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy.小题4:The passage mainly talks about the __ between men shoppers and women shoppers for clothes.

A．similarities

B．differences

C．varieties

D．intentions
