Sixteen is a【C3】______age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly【C4】______of racial discrimination(歧视)was【C5】______a fact of life. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner【C6】______whether they were "good for it." I knew black youths just like me who were【C7】______like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.

At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded
【C10】______I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my【C11】______to the cash desk, I said【C12】______, "I need to put this On credit."
The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful(不相信的)【C13】______. But Buck’s face didn’t change. "Sure," he said【C14】______. "Your daddy is【C15】______good for it." He【C16】______to the other man. "This is one of James William’s sons."
The farmer nodded in a neighbourly【C17】______. I was filled with pride. James William’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.
That day I discovered that the good name my parents had【C18】______brought our whole family the respect of our neighbours. Everyone knew what to【C19】______from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself【C20】______much to do wrong.

选项
A、generous
B、honest
C、friendly
D、modest
答案
B
解析
本题考查形容词词义辨析:generous的意思是“大方的、慷慨的”,honest的意思是“诚实的、讲信用的”,friendly的意思是“友好的、热情的”,modest的意思是“谦虚的”:根据文章的意思,作者认为自己家很讲信用,因为后面他说他们每次的借款都会还。所以本题的正确答案为B。
