Why did the man lose his temper?
There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one: he couldn’t say the name of his name town. Cartano. The man did everything he could do to teach the parrot to say "Cartano" but he never succeeded. At first he was gentle with the bird but gradually he lost his temper. "You stupid bird! Why can’t you learn to say that one word? Say ’Cartano’, or I’ll kill you!" But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say ’Cartano’ ,or I’ll kill you!" but the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up, he picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You arc even more stupid than the chickens!"
In the chicken house. there were four old chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning the man went out to the chicken house. When he opened the door, he was shocked by what he saw, and he could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens, the parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say ’Cartano’, or I’ll kill you!"
选项
A、The cruel master,
B、The man in the kitchen.
C、The pet bird.
D、The fourth chicken
答案
C
解析
本题需要进行推理。独白倒数第二句指出,那人打开鸡舍的门时,he was shocked...could not believe his eyes and ears,由他的反应可知鸡并不是他杀死的;而由最后一句描述的鹦鹉的行为可知是鹦鹉杀死了那几只鸡,因此那人才那么震惊,选[C]。
