阅读理解;阅读下列短文。从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B 、C和D)中选出最佳选项。 It was a cold night in Washington,D.C.and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me.He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don`t give money to panhandlers(乞丐)” So I shook my head and kept walking. I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with resignation,he said,”I really am homeless and I really am hungry!You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking. The incident bothered me for阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1]Some expressions describe people who are
important,or who at
least think they are.One such expression is bigwig.
[2]In the seventeenth century,important men in Europe began
to wear false hair,called
wigs.As years
passed,wigs began
to get bigger.The
size of a man’s wig depended on how important he was. The more important he was—or
thought he was一 .Today,the expression bigwig is used
to make fun of a person who feels important.People never tell someone he is a bigwig.They only use the expression
behind his back.
[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an
important person.A
big wheel may be the head of a company,a political leader,a famous movie star.They are big wheels because they are powerful.What they do affects many
people.Big wheels
give the orders.Other
people carry them out.As in many machines,a big wheel makes the little wheels turn.Big wheel became a popular
expression after World WarⅡ.It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people
who fix parts of cars and trucks.They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had
influence.
[4]The top of something is the highest part.So it is not surprising that
top is part of another expression that describes an important person.The expression is top banana.A top banana is the leading
person in a comedy show.The funniest comedian is called the top banana.The next is second banana.And so on.Why a banana?A comedy act in
earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the
others over the head with a soft object. The object was shaped like the
yellow fruit:the
banana.Top banana
still is used mainly in show business.Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in
any area.
