Why did the man lose his temper?
There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one: he couldn’t say the name of his name town. Cartano. The man did everything he could do to teach the parrot to say "Cartano" but he never succeeded. At first he was gentle with the bird but gradually he lost his temper. "You stupid bird! Why can’t you learn to say that one word? Say ’Cartano’, or I’ll kill you!" But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say ’Cartano’ ,or I’ll kill you!" but the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up, he picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You arc even more stupid than the chickens!"
In the chicken house. there were four old chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning the man went out to the chicken house. When he opened the door, he was shocked by what he saw, and he could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens, the parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say ’Cartano’, or I’ll kill you!"
选项
A、Because the bird couldn’t repeat his master’s name.
B、Because the bird screamed all day long.
C、Because the bird uttered the wrong word.
D、Because the bird failed to say the name of the town.
答案
D
解析
这是一则小故事,讲述了一个人训练鹦鹉说话的经过。由独白第五、六句(The man did every- thing...he lost his temper)的意思可知,那个人是因为想尽了一切办法、鹦鹉却仍然不会说“Cartano”这个词而生气。而由第四句的交代可知这个词就是那人所在的小镇的名称,因此选D 。
