It's extremely rare to find characters that excited such enthusiasm in the British population as Margaret Thatcher once did. There was no middle ground, no sitting on the fence and that was just the way she like it.

Back in the 70s—thanks to a combination of incapable Conservative and Labour prime ministers (all male) and the unelected and militant union leaders who didn't always have their members' best interests at heart—the country was on its knees, virtually bankrupt and covered in uncollected rubbish due to a massive public sector strike.

It was no wonder the people saw hope in Margaret Thatcher and accordingly voted her into power when, depending on where you were standing at the time, she either saved Great Britain or ruined people's lives.

Personally, for me it was the former and I could see how she improved the prospects and desires of the working classes to better themselves. I was one of them. At the same time I can also understand why people in the North of England who suffered after the close of the last remaining pits, factories and manufacturing industries didn’t see it that way.

But what I don't understand is how some folk think it’s OK to be so openly disrespectful in her death just because it's her.

The so-called ''death parties'' are sickening, attended as they mostly are by people who probably don't quite know who she is let alone who lived under her rule.

The Brighton teacher Romany Blythe, who organized one of the parties, actually compared her to Hitler. But Margaret didn't devote herself to genocide—murder of a whole race, neither did she attempt to take over Europe and control its people. She only went to war once in order to protect a British outpost in the South Atlantic after it was threatened and invaded by the Argentineans. And there lies the real reason I think she inspires such unreasonable hatred—because she was a woman. She clearly had no choice but to get the country back on its feet. Not one of them has half the courage to get us out of the current mess we’re in. They're all too bothered about being popular, so they spend all their time trying to please all of the people all of the time. It's just not possible—as the lady herself proved.

1.What kind of person can we see Margaret Thatcher as in the passage?

A.Consistent(一致的) B.Conservative(保守的)

C.Controversial(有争议的) D.Considerate(体贴周到的)

2.Which group of people listed below is most likely to speak highly of Thatcher?

A.Most Argentineans B.Some of working classes

C.Former prime ministers D.Death party members

3.Some people hate Margaret Thatcher because ________.

A.she launched the war against Argentina

B.she started a massive public sector strike

C.they believe she devoted herself to genocide

D.they think she brought them a miserable life

4.In the eyes of the author, ________.

A.Margaret Thatcher was popular among workers throughout the country.

B.Margaret Thatcher did not succeed in getting the country back on its feet

C.none of those who hate Margaret Thatcher can rule Britain as well as she did

D.it is understandable why disrespect is shown to Margaret Thatcher on her death

5.What does the underlined word ''they'' in the last paragraph actually refer to?

A.Incapable politicians. B.Death party organizers.

C.Women of courage. D.Followers of Hitler.

6.The author wrote the passage mainly to ___________.

A.defend Margaret Thatcher against blames on her

B.honour Margaret Thatcher and her achievements

C.call on people to mourn for Margaret Thatcher

D.show different opinions about Margaret Thatcher
