M: You know, Ben’s given up making those terrible faces he used to make. The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.
W: And he believed her?
M: Yeah, he is only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree will grow out of your mouth. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake...
W: Yeah, I suppose you’re right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg with a blow of the wing.
M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could.
W: No, they are not that strong. But there is another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a postage stamp on upside down, you’ll go to prison.
M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say you’ll get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here is one more. We went on a camping trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified.
W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble.
12. What does the man say about Ben?
13. What did aunt Mary use to do when the man was a child?
14. What does the woman believe swans could do?
15. What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say?

选项 A、One would have curly hair if they ate too much stale bread.
B、One would go to prison if they put a stamp on upside down.
C、One would have to shave their head to remove a bat in their hair.
D、One would get a spot on their tongue if they told a lie deliberately.

答案C

解析 细节辨认题。对话末尾,男士说他的祖母会把那样的事情说得很恐怖,比如说谎舌头上会长斑,吃不新鲜的面包会让头发变卷;而男士妻子的祖母说如果蝙蝠钻进头发,只能剃光头驱赶。B)项在对话中也有提及,但未明确说明是男士妻子的祖母所说,故也可排除。
