Elaine, Justin’s mom, had set down the house rules with self-confident assurance. Only the most obtuse person would have failed to understand:no tattoos, no body piercings and no co-ed sleepovers while living in the house of Elaine Tucker Brown. Still, the day Justin turned 18, he lied to his mother about where he was going and headed straight to the tattoo parlor, as if impervious to his mother’s wrath. He got a light blue heart, the size of an orange permanently etched on his arm. Above this work of art was the word"Blessed". No, Justin was not stupid, but he was obstinate. Elaine saw this as an act of sheer defiance. She was incensed, her anger exacerbated by the fact that Justin had breezed into the house, found her in the kitchen, taken off his shirt with a smile and said, "Got it!" "No, Justin. Let me tell what you’ve got, " Elaine said angrily. "You’ve got five minutes to go upstairs and pack a bag. I am taking you to Pop-Pop’s. " The ride to Pop-Pop’s house was chilly, to say the least. Elaine berated Justin for everything she could think of, which wasn’t much because he was a straight A senior with a full academic scholarship to his top college pick. He had a kind heart and started a foundation in the ninth grade, which donated used sporting equipment to underprivileged kids in South Africa. Elaine pulled up to her father’s door and ordered Justin out. Not 10 minutes later, her cell phone rang.
"Elaine, have you lost it? You are kicking a boy as good as him out the house for a tattoo-that says ’Blessed’, no less?"her father asked, incredulous. "You will miss him so much.
Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face , Elaine.
Come pick this young man up. "Elaine, having grown up obeying most of her parents’ demands, turned her car around and went back to pick up her son. Justin was surprisingly contrite. " Sorry for being so disrespectful , Mom, "he said earnestly. "I will try to follow house rules from now on. "
What was Justin’s attitude when he showed his mother the tattoo?
选项
A、cautiously jubilant
B、willfully defiant
C、convincingly contrite
D、noticeably melodramatic
答案
B
解析
贾斯廷把身上的花纹给母亲看的时候,他表现出什么态度?任性而又无礼。从文中可以看出,贾斯廷违背家规,擅自纹身;脱下衬衣给母亲看花纹的时候,脸上竟然露出微笑。这说明他任性而且无理。A(拘谨而又高兴)应排除,因为他纹身以后并没有躲躲闪闪,而是飞快地走进屋子,在厨房中找到母亲,笑着脱下衬衣,把花纹给母亲看。由此可以得出结论,他毫不拘谨。C(幡然悔悟)不对,因为悔悟是后来发生的事情。D(显然耸人听闻)显然不对,很容易排除。
