A monk lived with his brother, a one-eyed idiot(a very stupid person).One day ,when the monk was scheduled to have an interview with a famous theologian(a scientist who studies religions) who had come from far away to meet him, he needed to take care of some matters and would therefore be absent when the theologian arrived. He told his brother:“Receive this scholar and treat him well！Don’t say a word to him，and everything will be OK.”

The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest.

“Did my brother receive you properly?”asked the monk.

“You brother is outstanding. He’s a great theologian!”exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm.

“What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?”stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk.

“We had a passionate conversation,”replied the scholar.“We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. ”

A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother.

“So how did it go earlier with the theologian?”he asked.

“Very simple,”said the brother.“He made fun of me ;he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, ‘Be that as it may ,between us, we have three eyes.’ That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn’t stop his insulting challenges.”

1.According to the passage, the monk’s brother is a person__________.

A. who was a great theologian

B. who was a three-eyed idiot

C. who was a one-eyed theologian

D. who was a fool with only one eye

B. the brother could communicate properly and politely by means of gestures

C. the brother had deep thoughts of Buddhism

D. the theologian himself misunderstood the brother’s gestures

3.What would the monk do after he heard of his brother’s explanation on how it went earlier with the theologian?

A. The monk would be very angry with his brother and beat him.

B. The monk would be very happy and praise him.
