Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of others people’s actions and private lives because he had no time for small talks. The following two incidents clearly show how Collidge treasured silence.

When he was vice president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to participate (参加) in Washington’s social life, especially the many dinner parties. As be ignored the art of conversation, he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the former President Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, a very brilliant conversationalist (谈话者), began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to a wake the interest on the part of the vice president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into anger, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.”

Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.

Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Collidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they met. “Oh, Mr. President,” she spoke with too much enthusiasm, “you are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌) today that I could get more than two words out of you.”

President Collidge considered those people as being unworthy of respect          .

       A.who liked to talk about the affairs of others

       B.who never talked about anything serious

       C.who often spoke insincerely

       D.who talked much but did little

The hostesses thought Collidge was unfriendly because        in her eyes.

       A.he treated women coldly and rudely

       B.he paid no attention to conversational skills

       C.he was too serious to please any women

       D.he was pretty easy and quick to get angry

Mrs. Longworth got shamed and angry because         .

       A.the vice president took part in too many dinner parties

       B.the vice president didn’t lift his eyes from his plate

       C.the vice president didn’t speak exactly and clearly

       D.the vice president didn’t react to all her efforts

The underlined sentence “Well, a man has to eat somewhere” probably means        .

      A.Mr. Coolidge didn’t want to talk with Mrs. Longworth at all

       B.Mr. Coolidge had really got tired of so many social dinners

       C.Mr. Coolidge was unhappy with the dinner he was eating that day

       D.Mr. Coolidge was really hungry and had to find something to eat

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!”
