问题     There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.
    You can’ t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men: not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人)unable to open door for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ 11 probably insist on paying her share of the bill: though on second thoughts perhaps that’ s not such a bad idea.
    It’ s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male(men)politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.
    Maybe that’ s worth standing in the bus or train.
According to the passage, which of the following isNOT correct?

选项 A、Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.
B、Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.
C、Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.
D、A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.

答案B

解析 由文章第二段“take a girl out fora meal...probably insist on paying her share...though on second thoughts…”如今的女性们可能在吃饭时会要求分担费用,而不是完全不愿意让其他人买单。故B符合题意。
