问题 单项选择题

Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way : her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks. Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him. She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.

It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. She tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40 minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die", she explained.

How did Frank save Lisa()

A.By lifting her to the platform.

B.By helping her rise to her feet.

C.By pulling her along the ground.

做一个终身读者

周国平

  读者是一个美好的身份。在很大程度上,人类精神文明的成果是以书籍的形式保存的,而读书就是享用这些成果并把它们据为已有的过程。对于不是读者的人来说,凝聚在书籍中的人类精神财富等于不存在,他们不去享用和占有这笔宝贵的财富。一个人惟有在成了读者以后才会知道,这是多么巨大的损失。历史上有许多伟大的人物,在他们众所周知的声誉背后,往往有一个人所不知的身份,便是终身读者,即一辈子爱读书的人。在某种意义上,一个民族的精神素质也取决于人口中高趣味读者的比例。

  然而,一个人并不是随便读点什么就可以称做读者的。在我看来,一个真正的读者应该具备以下特征——

  第一,养成了读书的癖好。

  也就是说,读书成了生活的必需,真正感到不可缺少,几天不读书就寝食不安,自惭形秽。如果你必须强迫自己才能读几页书,你就还不能算是一个真正的读者。当然,这种情形决非刻意为之,而是自然而然的,是品尝到了阅读的快乐之后的必然结果。事实上,每个人天性中都蕴涵着好奇心和求知欲,因而都有可能依靠自己去发现和领略阅读的快乐。

  第二,形成了自己的读书趣味。

  世上书籍如汪洋大海,再热衷的书迷也不可能穷尽,只能尝其一瓢,区别在于尝哪一瓢。读书是一件非常私人的事情,喜欢读什么书,不论范围是宽是窄,都应该有自己的选择,体现自己的个性和兴趣。其实,形成个人趣味与养成读书癖好是不可分的,正因为找到了和预感到了书中知己,才会持之以恒,欲罢不能。没有自己的趣味,仅凭道听途说东瞧瞧,西翻翻,连兴趣也谈不上,遑论癖好。针对当今图书市场的现状,我要特别强调,千万不要追随媒体的宣传只读一些畅销书和时尚书,倘若那样,你绝对成不了真正的读者,永远只是文化市场上的消费大众而已。须知时尚和文明完全是两回事,一个受时尚支配的人仅仅生活在事物的表面,貌似前卫,本质上却是一个野蛮人,惟有扎根于人类精神文明土壤中的人才是真正的文明人。

  第三,有较高的读书品位

  一个真正的读者具备基本的判断力和鉴赏力,仿佛拥有一种内在的嗅觉,能够嗅出一本书的优劣,本能地拒斥劣书,倾心好书。这种能力部分地来自阅读的经验,但更多地源自一个人灵魂的品质。当然,灵魂的品质是可以不断提高的,读好书也是提高的途径,二者之间有一种良性循环的关系。重要的是一开始就给自己确立一个标准,每读一本书,一定要在精神上有收获,能够进一步开启你的心智。只要坚持这个标准,灵魂的品质和对书的判断力就自然会同步得到提高。一旦你的灵魂足够丰富和深刻,你就会发现,你已经上升到了一种高度,不再能容忍那些贫乏和浅薄的书了。

  能否成为一个真正的读者,青少年时期是关键。经验证明,一个人在这个时期倘若没有养成读好书的习惯,以后再要培养就比较难了,倘若养成了,则必定终身受用。青少年对未来有种种美好的理想,我对你们的祝愿是,在你们的人生蓝图中千万不要遗漏了这一种理想,就是立志做一个真正的读者,一个终身读者。    (略有删改)
