One of the good things for men in women’s liberation is that men no longer have to pay women the old-fashioned courtesies.
In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn’t need help getting in and out of cars. She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk.
As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women’s liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.
It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one’s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.
It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.
"Well, "my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."
"Did what?" I asked, utterly confused.
"Took the chair."
Actually, since I’d walked. through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.
Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.
Which of the following best states the passage?
选项
A、Manners ought to be thrown away altogether.
B、In manners one should follow his own judgment.
C、Women no longer need to be helped in public.
D、Men are not expected to be courteous to women.
答案
B
解析
文章的第一句明确地提出了此论点,其余几段(对Ms.Holmes的引述和作者的做法)都为这一主题服务。A项过于绝对,因为作者只说要丢弃“outdated courtesies”,并没有说完全要丢弃礼貌,他本人先上车也是“out of love and respect”。C、D两项原因同上。故选B)。
