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

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.
C. The monk would apologize to the theologian and his brother.

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析
It does not matter who wins. We are told that from day one. Usually, that statement is followed by some remark about being a loser. If we do not care who wins, then why do we compete? Fun, experience, the chance to meet new people --- these are the reasons we try to outdo each other.
People will compete over anything. Every Christmas, my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition. It is heaven for the electric company, but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare. It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards. I admit that last year my neighbors won, but only because they bought every strand of lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there.
Personal competitions are great, but we get a little carried away. I cannot stand to see coaches shout at kids playing sports. Who cares if someone messes up and the other team advances?
I’m tired of people competing just to win. It happens not only in sports, but in music competitions, too. People auditioning（试音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly. This year I did not audition for a certain band, but I went to auditions anyway. This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to comprehend the whole picture.
Other times I’ve been the person who was nervous and anxious. This time, I sat back and observed everyone else. I came to the realization that the people who aren’t so good are terrified of the good people, and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up. Unless a person is on the outside looking in, I don’t think anyone realizes this.
Maybe competing is human nature, but we shouldn’t let it influence our judgment. Being disrespectful to opponents（对手）, letting competition become our life, and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family is not the meaning of competition.
A little competition is healthy, so it shouldn’t hurt anyone. If it does, someone somewhere needs to back off, find the good thing hidden inside, and try it again. Winning isn’t everything, and losing isn’t the end of the world.
1.The author mentions his competition with his neighbors to __________.
A. make excuses for his failure
B. express his concern about the airport
C. imply his neighbor cheated in the competition
D. show people really care about the result of competition
2.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. the rules of competition
B. competitors’ effort to win
C. the influence of competition on life
D. the negative attitude to competition
3.From the passage, we can learn that _______.
A. the author failed the audition
B. competitors may be unfriendly to each other
C. it is coaches who always mess up the match
D. those who observe opponents calmly always win
4.Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept?
A. Competition for the job is fierce.
B. Winning or losing is none of people’s concern.
C. Competition is healthy, but it can get out of hand.
D. The disadvantages of competition outweigh the benefits.
