问题 单项选择题

梅,二十三岁,青春靓丽,大学毕业,风华正茂。
小城的暑热使得梅等待分配的心情又焦急几分,可一连几天梅浑身燥热得让父母生出几分不安。
父母陪梅去省城的医院,挂专家门诊。几位白发苍苍的老教授在经过周密的反复会诊后,只有摇头叹息,父母心碎了,梅心碎了。
经过一段晦暗的日子,梅的心情渐渐开朗。梅知道自己的日子不会长久,她说服父母,放弃了分配的工作。不多的时间供梅选择的方式很多,然而梅要做流星、做昙花,留下耀眼的光、芬芳的香。梅要让自己的时间美丽温馨。
用父母筹集来给她治病的钱,梅在幽静的小巷开了家花店,取名“勿忘我”。花店很雅致,像梅一样文静。花店很美丽,红玫瑰、勿忘我、郁金香等各类鲜花都翠艳欲滴。花店也很特别,开张的时候,梅就贴出告示:花店每天的收入都将接济一位身陷困境的人。
一段日子后,花店的生意很好,可梅又愁了,她兑现不了自己的诺言,没人愿意上门接受她的帮助。梅想:如果明天还没有人愿意接受我的帮助的话,我就不再活了。
第二天很晚了,梅正准备依依不舍地告别她的花店,从外面走进一个年轻人,小伙子年龄和梅相仿。
“先生,买花吗?”梅问。
“不,我想请你帮助的。”小伙子急切地说,“我需要很多的钱来挽救我的生命,因为我有许多有意义的事要做。”
梅静静地听完小伙子的叙述,知道小伙子正从事着一种冲击世界水平的科技研究,但他却得了绝症,家庭一贫如洗,父母无力救他,每天吃药打针需要很多钱,他没有时间挣钱。梅很激动,把开张以来花店赚的所有的钱都给了他,并叮嘱他以后每天来取,直到他不需要的时候。
以后的日子,梅开店更加勤奋了,花店也更加红火了。那个小伙子每天都在梅关门结账的时候来取钱,并且报告他最新的研究进度。这样的日子大概过了五六年。有一天,梅突然想起自己早过了医学权威给她判下的日子。
这天又到关门时分,小伙子准时来了。梅刚要把一天的收入交给他,他却拿起了一束勿忘我献给梅:“梅,祝贺我吧!我创造了用爱心拯救生命的奇迹!”
梅很疑惑。
“听我讲一个美丽的谎言吧!”小伙子说。梅静静地听完,泪珠簌然而下,把那束勿忘我紧紧拥在胸前。
梅和小伙子结婚那天,花店收到从一个贫困地区希望小学寄来的几百枝勿忘我,花很灿烂,也很顽强。梅和丈夫把它赠送给这一天光顾花店的每一个人。

过了一段日子后,梅又愁了的原因是:

A.自己的身体越来越坏
B.花店的花没人买
C.兑现不了自己的诺言
D.花店赚的钱太少

A large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.

“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.

Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.

“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there ... or engineers or scientists?”
