We'd gone up to the city, my husband and I, to see a friend of his from college. He was doing well for himself now, a businessman living in a high-class apartment on the Magnificent Mile. It was a treat for us to get away like this, on the rare occasions we could get a baby-sitter. He met us at the parking garage(停车库) he'd recommended (推荐) and offered to pay for. "City life's great," he'd said, "except for finding a parking space." There was the slap on the back for my husband, and a kiss on the cheek for me. Then he led us out to the street for the two-block walk to his apartment. The North Side reminded me of a refined street festival that summer night – crowds of people, somehow looking well-dressed even in jeans, strolling up and down the sidewalks, stopping in at the dozens of restaurants. We were walking three abreast (并肩) down the sidewalk. I was on the inside, closest to the buildings, and I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He was old, sitting on the doorstep of a store already locked for the night. He was bundled up in a dirty jacket that looked way too heavy for summer. Every few seconds, he called out to the passing people. "Got a quarter?" "Can you spare some change?" We'd seen people like him before, of course. We'd learned not to look them in the eye, to close our ears, to walk on by. Usually they expected to be ignored. Some of them tried to make you feel guilty (内疚), though, by telling you they needed money to feed their kids. So I steeled myself as we approached him. "Got any loose change you can spare?" he piped up. "Get lost!" our friend shouted, looking straight ahead. As we brushed by, I got a look at him. Gray hair; a creased (有皱痕的), worn face that, inexplicably (无法解释地), had a toothless smile on it. Then we were past him, not missing a step in our steady stride. "I get so sick of these guys leeching off of you," our friend grumbled under his breath. I slowed down, my steps faltering (犹豫). I had some change in my pocket. I could get it out, run back, drop it into the old man's hand, and catch up with the guys before they even knew I was gone. Or I could just tell them, "I'll be right back, guys; wait for me a second," and go back at my leisure. But then I'd have to listen to the lecture about being too soft-hearted and handing out money to any guy with a sob story to tell. 1.

单选题请阅读Passage 1。完成第小题。 Passage 1 The mythology of a culture can provide some vital insights into the beliefs and values of that culture． By using fantastic and sometimes incredible stories to create an oral tradition by which to explain the wonders of the natural world and teach lessons to younger generations, a society exposes those ideas and concepts held most important． Just as important as the final lesson to be gathered from the stories, however, are the characters and the roles they play in conveying that message． Perhaps the epitome of mythology and its use as a tool to pass on cultural values can be found in Aesop´s Fables, told and retold during the era of the Greek Empire． Aesop, a slave who won the favor of the court through his imaginative and descriptive tales, almost exclusively used animals to fill the roles in his short stories． Humans, when at all present, almost always played the part of bumbling fools struggling to learn the lesson being presented． This choice of characterization allows us to see that the Greeks placed wisdom on a level slightly beyond humans, implying that deep wisdom and understanding is a universal quality sought by, rather than stealing from, human beings． Aesop´s fables illustrated the central themes of humility and self-reliance, reflecting the importance of those traits in early Greek society． The folly of humans was used to contrast against the ultimate goal of attaining a higher level of understanding and awareness of truths about nature and humanity． For example, one notable fable features a fox repeatedly trying to reach a bunch of grapes on a very high vine． After failing at several attempts, the fox gives up, making up its mind that the grapes were probably sour anyway． The fable´ s lesson, that we often play down that which we can´t achieve so as to make ourselves feel better, teaches the reader or listener in an entertaining way about one of the weaknesses of the human psyche． The mythology of other cultures and societies reveal the underlying traits of their respective cultures just as Aesop´ s fables did． The stories of Roman gods, Aztec ghosts and European elves all served to train ancient generations those lessons considered most important to their community, and today they offer a powerful looking glass by which to evaluate and consider the contextual environment in which those culture existed． The author appears to view fables as__________． A．the most interesting and valuable form of mythology B．entertaining yet serious subjects of study C．a remnant tool of past civilizations, but not often used in the modem age D．the primary method by which ancient values and ideas were transmitted between generations
