When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.
What can we infer from reading the passage?
A、The girl benefited from her father's advic
B、The girl was very often angry with her fathe
C、The girl's father loved other people's advic
D、The girl was easily hurt by her father
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:从文章中我们可以了解到,当女孩向父亲抱怨她的“敌人”如何不断指出她的缺点时,她的父亲并没有直接为她辩护或攻击那个女孩。相反,他让女孩列出一个清单,标记出那些真实存在的缺点。通过这个过程,女孩发现了很多关于自己的真实情况,并决定改变那些她能够改变的缺点。
A选项“The girl benefited from her father's advice”表示女孩从父亲的建议中受益。这与文章中的描述相符,因为女孩通过这个过程得到了一个关于自己的清晰认识,并决定改变一些缺点。
B选项“The girl was very often angry with her father”表示女孩经常对她的父亲生气。然而,文章中并没有提到女孩对她的父亲生气。
C选项“The girl's father loved other people's advice”表示女孩的父亲喜欢别人的建议。这也不是文章所表达的内容。
D选项“The girl was easily hurt by her father”表示女孩容易被她的父亲伤害。这与文章中的描述不符,因为父亲是以一种理解和支持的方式帮助女孩面对她的缺点。
因此,我们可以推断出A选项“The girl benefited from her father's advice”是正确的。
