24、

“Have you ever heard Louis say good morning and good night to us, as the others do?”

“Since you mention it, I never have,” said the husband. “Goodness! What are you getting at? Do you wish me to believe that I have a son who is dumb in any way? This would worry me. I want everything to go well in my family life. Fatherhood is hard. I do not want the added stress of having a dumb child.”

“Well,” said the wife, “I’ve been watching Louis recently. I think the little guy can’t talk. I’ve never heard him make one sound. I think he came into the world lacking (缺失) a voice. If he had a voice, he’d use it, same as the others do.”

“Why, this is terrible!” said the husband. “This is painful. This is a very serious matter.” His wife looked at him. “It’s not too serious now,” she said. “But it will be serious two or three years from now when Louis falls in love, as he will surely do. A young male swan will be greatly handicapped in finding a mate if he can’t say the usual sweet words to the young female of his choice.”

The husband stood quietly, thinking about what his wife had just told him. He was a brave bird, and already he was beginning to work out a plan for his little son Louis.

“If it’s really true that Louis has no voice,” said the husband to himself, “then I shall provide him with a device (装置) of some kind, to enable him to make a lot of noise. There must be some way out of this difficulty. After all, my son is Trumpeter Swan; he should have a voice like a trumpet (小号). But first I will test him to make certain that what his mother says is true.”

(Taken from The Trumpet of the Swan)

A．Have much trouble.

B．Have great fun.

C．Be quite uninterested.

D．Be very successful.

【3】What is the swan couple’s talk mainly about?

A．The dream about Louis’s future.

B．The plan for Louis’s education.

C．The problem with Louis’s health.

D．The suggestion on Louis’s growth.

25、Be careful about how you speak

An old man told everyone in his village that his young neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was taken to the police station. Days later, the man was set free, as the police found that he hadn't stolen anything.

After going home, the young man sued (起诉) the old man for calling him a thief.

In the court (法庭), the old man told the judge, “They were just words. They didn't harm anyone."

The judge told the old man, “write down all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut up the paper and on your home, throw the pieces of paper on the ground. Tomorrow, come back here to hear your sentence (判决).”

The next day, the judge told the old man, “Before hearing your sentence, you will have to go out and find all the pieces of paper that you threw on the ground yesterday.”

The old man said, “I can't do that! The wind blew them away and I won't know where to find them.”

The judge then said, “In the same way, simple words can ruin (破坏) a man's image in a way that cannot be undone. If you can't speak well of someone, don't say anything at all.”

Let's all be masters of our mouths so that we won't be slaves (奴隶) of our words.
