Walking through my train yesterday, stagge

题型:单项选择题

题目:

Walking through my train yesterday, staggering from my seat to the buffet and back, I counted five people reading Harry Potter novels. Not children-these were real grown-ups reading children’s books,
Maybe that would have been understandable. If these people had jumped whole-heartedly into a second childhood it would have made more sense. But they were card-carrying grown-ups with laptops and spreadsheets returning from sales meetings and seminars. Yet they chose to read a children’s book.
I don’t imagine you’ll find this headcount exceptional. You can no longer get on the London Tube and not see a Harry Potter book. Nor is it just the film; these throwback readers were out there in droves long before the movie campaign opened.
So who are these adult readers who have made JK Rowling the second-biggest female earner in Britain (after Madonna) As I have tramped along streets knee-deep in Harry Potter paperbacks, I’ve mentally slotted them into three groups.
First come the Never-Readers, whom Harry has enticed into opening a book. Is this a bad thing Probably not. Writing has many advantages over film, but it can never compete with its magnetic punch. If these books can re-establish the novel as a thrilling experience for some people, then this can only be for the better. If it takes obsession-level hype to lure them into a bookshop. that’s fine by me. But will they go on to read anything else Again, we can only hope.
The second group are the Occasional Readers. These people claim that tiredness, work and children allow them to read only a few books a year. Yet now—to be part of the crowd, to say they’ve read it—they put Harry Potter on their oh-so-select reading list. It’s infuriating, and maddening. Yes, I’m a writer myself, currently writing difficult, unreadable, hopefully unsettling novels, but there are so many other good books out there, so much rewarding, enlightening, enlarging works of fiction for adults; and yet these sad cases are swept along by the hype, the faddism, into reading a children’s book.
The third group are the Regular Readers, for whom Harry is sandwiched between McEwan (英国当代作家) and Balzac, Roth (德国现代诗人) and Dickens. This is the real baffler—what on earth do they get out of reading it Why bother But if they call rattle through it in a week just to say they ve been there—like going to Longleat (朗利特山庄英国名胜) or the Eiffel Tower—the worst they’re doing is encouraging others.

The word "it" underlined in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.

A.writing

B.film

C.the novel

D.book

(一)

摆渡老人

①读中学时,学校设在邻村,与我们村有一条河隔着,便认识了那摆渡老人。

②当时,那老人一直是我们取乐的对象。每到放学,肚子饿得直叫的我们便一窝蜂向渡口跑去,挤在那儿。渡船只要一近岸,大家便争先恐后地向船上跃去。虽然老人很有经验,未到岸边便做好回撑的准备,但超载和落水的事仍然时有发生。超载时,船上的,岸上的,都望着老人手忙脚乱的样子大笑。夏天下雨时,大家总是把伞迎着风,看着渡船被吹到离渡口好远的地方,老人一番折腾,将船撑到渡口,我们便哄笑着上了岸。

③最有意思的要数冬天(当时我是这样认为的)。冬天很冷,河面结了一层厚厚的冰。每天早晨,当我们赶到渡口时,总看见老人在那边晃着船,好长时间,才把船晃过来。望着老人跳舞似的笨拙姿势,我们总是哄笑,一直到船靠岸。我们往往因此耽误了早读,但我们都挺愿意。于是就希望天再冷些,便可迟点起来,反正去早了也过不了河。我们都为找到一个偷懒的理由而感到高兴。当时的我们,是“心忧读书愿天寒”。

④那一天特别冷,我因有事起了个早,吃过早饭后,便不紧不慢地向学校走去。到渡口时我惊奇地发现,那老人不是我预料的那样正在“跳舞”,却已经到了这边。我和他攀谈起来。我问他:“你今天怎么这么早”老人咳嗽了一声,缓缓地说:“许是人老了,早上总起不来。昨天听学校说耽误了学生上早读,今天我就起了早。谁知等了好长时间,才来了你一个人。”说完,便送我过河。

⑤船到河心,老人忽然回头对我说道:“你们小孩子可要好好读书啊。”那双眼中竞满含着期待和爱意,我心中一震,看着老人瘦弱的身体,沾满冰碴的白胡子,一双手冻得发紫,猛地问道:“你干啥要吃这份苦呢”好久,老人长叹一声说道:“干啥哎,以前我也有一个可爱的儿子,他曾吵着要上学,但终究没上成。后来他得病去了,我一直感到对不起他,我在这儿摆渡,接送你们上学,心里好受些。”谈话间,船已到岸。待我上岸后,老人把船向河那边撑去。看着老人的背影,我不再感到笨拙可笑,鼻子有些酸酸的。

⑥那天,我把老人的故事讲给同学们听了。以后,我们上船再也没有起哄。于是老人饱经风霜的脸上出现了笑容。

⑦再后来,两岸之间架起了一座桥。最后一次过河时,老人对我们说:“以后不再送你们过河了,你们要记住,好好读书。”

⑧“好好读书”这句话一直留在我记忆中。

⑨真想再见见摆渡老人。

本文具体描述了摆渡老人接送“我们”过河上学的辛劳。先写老人因“我们”的()而手忙脚乱,一番折腾;再写因(),老人好不容易“才把船晃过来”;最后写老人不顾自己(),特地起大早送“我们”过河上学。
