21、One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember it.
I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly shopping. On that special day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the pile of boxes. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to put the boxes back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.

24、In the eighteenth century, Japan's feudal overlords (封建领主), from the shogun (幕府将军) to the humblest samurai (武士), found themselves under financial stress. In fact, this stress can be attributed to the overlords' failure to adjust to a rapidly expanding economy, but the stress was also due to factors beyond the overlord's control. Concentration of the samurai in castle-towns had acted as a stimulus to trade. Commercial efficiency, in turn, had put temptations in the way of buyers. Since most samurai had been reduced to idleness by years of peace, encouraged to engage in scholarship and martial exercises or to perform administrative tasks that took little time, it is not surprising that their tastes and habits grew expensive. Overlords' income, despite the increase in rice production among their tenant farmers (佃户), failed to keep pace with their expenses. Although shortfalls in overlord's income resulted almost as much from inefficiencies among their tax collectors as from their higher standards of living, a misfortune like a fire or flood, bringing an increases in expenses or a drop in revenue, could put an overlord in debt to the city rice-Otraders who handled its finances. Once in debt, neither the individual samurai nor the shogun himself found it easy to recover.
It was difficult for individual samurai overlords to increase their income because the amount of rice that farmers could be made to pay in taxes was not unlimited, and since the income of Japan's central government consisted in part of taxes collected by the shogun from his land, the government too was suffering. Therefore, the Tokugawa (德川幕府) shoguns began to look for other sources of revenue. Cash profits from government-owned mines were already on the decline because the most easily worked deposits of silver and gold had been exhausted. Opening up new farmland was a possibility, but most of what was suitable had already been exploited and further expansion was technically unfeasible. Direct taxation of the samurai themselves would be politically dangerous. This left the shoguns only commerce as a potential source of government income.
Most of the country's wealth, or so it seemed, was finding its way into the hands of city merchants. It appeared reasonable that they should contribute part of that revenue to ease the shogun's burden of financing the state. A means of obtaining such revenue was soon found by collecting forced loans, known as goyo-kin; although these were not taxes in the strict sense, since they were not fixed in amount and irregular in timing, they were high in yield (投资收益) . Unfortunately, they pushed up prices. Thus, regrettably, the Tokugawa shogun's efforts to pay off debts for the government made it increasingly difficult for individual Japanese who lived on fixed earnings to make ends meet.
【1】Which of the following could best replace the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2?
A．The importance of commerce in feudal Japan
B．The unfairness of the tax structure in eighteenth - century Japan
C．The difficulties involved in increasing government income by other means
D．The difficulty experienced by both individual samurai and the shogun himself in pulling themselves out of debt.
【2】According to the passage, the actions taken by the Tokugawa shoguns to pay off their debts for the government were regrettable because those actions ______.
A．raised the cost of living by pushing up prices
B．did not succeed in reducing government spending
C．resulted in the exhaustion of deposits of silver and gold
D．were far lower in yield than had originally been expected
【3】Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author toward the samurai discussed in the passage?
A．Warmly approving
B．Mildly sympathetic.
C．Bitterly disappointed
D．Profoundly shocked.
【4】The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A．a book on the economic history of Japan
B．a modem novel about eighteenth-century Japan
