問題詳情:
A tiny lizard(蜥蜴)has been clinging to the wall behind me for TWO HOURS. I want to change the TV channel, but I feel I ought to at ask him. I know I’m a lot bigger than the lizard but I can’t help myself.
It’s not just me. This morning, a female neighbor ran screaming out of her room after finding a terrifying creature waiting inside. An ant. But she wanted to be alone.
Humans, I believe, should never kill bugs. Not for religious reasons. Mostly because they get back at us horribly. They have cosmic justice on their side, you see.
I’ve come across several news stories about guys who try to kill bugs and end up destroying their homes instead. Have you noticed it’s always guys? On the day I wrote this, the Man vs Bug news of the day involved an America guy from Seattle who tried to kill a spider using a can of spray paint and a cigarette lighter. He ended up torching his rental home, causing US $ 60,000 worth of damages.
In another Man vs Bug incident, this time in Japan, a man was so annoyed by a mosquito that was disturbing his hap that he emptied a can of bug spray trying to get it. Then he decided o light his cigarette. The resulting explosion caused his parents’ house to go up in flames. These two stories could also serve as effective anti-smoking ads. Let’s hope that in both cases, the men at least successfully managed to get rid of the offending insects. If not, it would be an EPIC FALL.
What do these tales teach us? The lesson is clear. If you offend against. The Universe, such as the attempted murder of an innocent bug, then cosmic justice will ensure that you pay the price.
I like cosmic justice. I think it makes life fair. So I am going to wait until this show ends before changing the TV channel, just in case I annoy the lizard.
24. According to the writer, what was the major cause of the loss of those guys’ homes in the news stories?
A. Their not obeying the law of cosmic justice.
B. The offending spider and annoying mosquito
C. Their bad habits of smoking cigarettes.
D. Their careless using spray paint and lighter.
25. What is the meaning of the underlined words “EPICFALL”?
A. An unforgettable and embarrassing incident
B. A hard and challenging task.
C. A very great and impressive defeat.
D. An impractical and useless method.
26. Which of the following proverbs conveys the message of the passage?
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Kill two birds with one stone.
C. Nature is the true law. D. Seeing is believing
