Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you, I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught, fire, there was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames.

Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for fire damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love,

Susan.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.

“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.

There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he doesn’t want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.

Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our name that we honor what we say.

1.What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?

A. Writers should be responsible for their names.

B. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.

C. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.

D. Publications must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.

2.The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may______.

A. not get a reply              B. be accepted all the time

C. become a family problem      D. help to end a relationship

3.Some people don’t want their names known because they are_______.

A. ready for involvement          B. hesitant to make a donation

C. afraid of an accusation        D. unwilling to draw public attention

4.The passage is mainly about_____.

A. honor and writers             B. signature and responsibility

C. identity and signature        D. anonymity and signature
