Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看見). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批評) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

    That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (評判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

1.The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because __________.

    A. the woman’s window was dirty         B. the writer’s window was dirty

    C. the woman lived nearby               D. the writer was near-sighted

2.The writer was surprised that _________.

    A. the woman was sitting by her window  B. the woman’s window was still terrible

    C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon  D. the woman’s window was clean

3. “It dawned on me” probably means “_______”.

    A. I began to understand it             B. it cheered me up

    C. I knew it grew light                 D. it began to get dark

4.It’s clear that ________.

    A. the writer had never met the woman before    B. the writer often washed the window

    C. they both worked as cleaners         D. they lived in a small town

5.From the passage, we can learn _______.

    A. one shouldn’t criticize others very often

    B. one should often make his windows clean

    C. one must judge himself before he judges others

    D. one must look at others through his dirty windows.

【解析】

主旨大意:多年前,作者喜歡通過窗戶看隔壁樓里的一位婦女看書。有一天他注意到那位婦女家的窗戶臟了,覺得很討厭。決定擦自己的,擦完之后,坐下來一看,才知道是自己窗戶臟的緣故。這件事情給作者的觸動很大,在以后的生活中,每次他想批判別人的時(shí)候,都捫心自問:“我是正在通過自己的臟窗戶看別人們?”

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Her window is clean”可知是我的窗戶臟了。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible.”可知。

3.詞義理解題。Cheer up意為“歡呼”,grow light意為“變明亮”,get dark意為“黑暗”均不符合題意。

4.推理判斷題。由文章中的第一句話“I live in a building ia a large city”可知D是錯(cuò)誤的!癐 had never met her”可知A是正確的。

5.推理判斷題。從這篇文章中的最后一段,我們可以學(xué)習(xí)到“批評別人的時(shí)候先看看自己”。
