问题    The sizzling steams of sunlight were just beautifully glimmering down on the crisp green schoolyard. Such a wonderful day that was. Nothing could have mined it. Little Jimmy, since it was such a wonderful day, decided to go to the comer store and but himself a little treat. As Jimmy started walking over to the store, clouds flocked over the dazzling sun and the sudden pitch dark meant to trouble. On the other side of the road were three white boys from Jimmy’s same school. Upon recognizing Jimmy, the boys ran over the street to where he was.
   "Hey Negro, what’s up?" one of the white boys said.
   "Did your mamma pack you enough to eat today?" another hooted.
   "Just leave me alone," Little Jimmy said.
   "Oh no, Jimmy’s really getting pist off!?" the first boy retaliated.
   "Just shove off and let me be," Jimmy answered.
   It is like this everyday, everywhere, and every time, people suffer discrimination. All because they have differences amongst each other. Different beliefs, different cultures, different skin colors, all of these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism.
   Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting.
   Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral.
   Nobody is exempt form this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse. On one occasion I re member, nobody would play with me at school. I would walk around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that I went, like the process of induction, everyone would avoid me, like two inducted poles with the same polarity, they would just shimmer off into the distance and continue to do whatever they’re doing. Because of racial differences, they neglect me.
   People are afraid of the unknown, and it is this difference amongst people that spread rumors and distrust amongst people. Corrupting our thoughts and reasons, we get accustomed to thinking differences are omens. Amongst smaller kids, there is no difficulty in getting them to all play together. Their thoughts are not totally corrupted as others. Probably the demon has no time to bother with smaller children.
From the conversation with the three white boys, we learn that Jimmy ______.
选项 A、must have offended them before
B、was a pleasant boy to be talked to
C、was being humiliated for being black
D、must have got used to their behaviors
答案C
解析 A(吉米以前得罪过他们)，B(是个让人很乐于聊天的人)，D(一定已经习惯他们的行为)在文中都没有提到。所以正确答案是C(正因为是黑人而受到期侮)。
