六 阅读理解。
In China, when you refuse someone, he or she may say he or she eats a bowl of door-closing thick soup. In Chinese, it is called“吃闭门羹”. What is the story behind this saying?
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there lived a beautiful woman named Shi Feng. Many young men wanted to marry her. But Shi was hard to impress. She asked her admirers(追求者) to write poems and show them to her. She did this to see how talented they were.
If Shi liked someone's poems, she would agree to meet him. If she didn't, she wouldn't meet him. But then, to be polite, she would at least give him a bowl of“geng” to eat.
“Geng” is a type of thick soup. It is usually made with grain, fruit or vegetables.
As time passed, “eating a bowl of thick soup” began to mean“being refused”. The dish was also nicknamed“door-closing thick soup”, since Shi would not open her door for the people who received the dish.
But there is a twist to this story. “Door-closing thick soup” was said to be so tasty that more people started coming to Shi's door— not to marry her, but to have a taste of the soup!
( )1. What kind of people would Shi agree to meet?
A. People who were honest. B. People who were good-looking.
C. People who were rich. D. People who were talented.
( )2. What situation is having“door-closing thick soup” used to describe?
A. A situation in which someone cannot open a door. B. A situation in which someone wants to get married.
C. A situation in which someone is refused by others. D. A situation in which someone wants to drink soup.
( )3. What's the passage mainly about?
A. An ancient beauty named Shi Feng. B. How to make“door-closing thick soup”.
C. How ancient people refused others. D. The story behind the saying“吃闭门羹”.
