《史记》中《公仪休嗜鱼》说的是,公仪休在鲁国当丞相的时候特别喜欢吃鱼,有很多人投其所好送鱼给他,他一概不收。有人问:你为什么喜欢吃鱼却不收鱼他说,我现在做丞相买得起鱼,自己可以买来吃。如果因接受了别人送的鱼而被免职,我从此就买不起鱼,也吃不起鱼了。 这段文字意在说明:

A.贪欲猛如虎,贪欲如洪水

B.人的性格各异,嗜好有别

C.做一个正直向上的人,首先要“寡欲”

D.贪欲是把一个人推向不归路的“助推器”

答案

参考答案:C

解析: 这段文字讲述了《史记》中《公仪休嗜鱼》的故事。由文中的“如果因接受了别人送的鱼而被免职,我从此就买不起鱼,也吃不起鱼了”可看出,要想经常有鱼吃,关键在自己,要“寡欲”。这与选项C一致。B讲人的性格、嗜好,完全与文段要表达的内容无关,排除。A、D都是在强调“贪欲”的危害,文中“有很多人投其所好送鱼给他,他一概不收”,这是在讲“寡欲”,故排除。本题的正确答案为C。

No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better—or worse—part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the track When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat—or even only somewhat overweight—is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.
Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being over weight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem--too much fat and a lack of fiber—than a weight problem.
The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for p bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall lifestyle. Thinness can be pure vainglory.

Swept by the prevailing trend, the author______.

A. had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life
B. could still prevent herself from going off the track
C. had to seek help from rich distant relatives
D. had to wear highly fashionable clothes
