年轻的小姐审视着她的荷叶边，又抚平她的饰带;过了一会儿，温特伯恩冒险来看了看这美丽的景色。他不再觉得不好意思了，因为他开始发觉她自己一点也不觉得不好意思。她那娇艳的脸色丝毫没有变化;她显然既不觉得冒犯，也不觉得受宠若惊。如果他跟她说话的时候，她把目光转向另一边，似乎并没有特别注意听他说话，这只是她的习惯，她的态度。不过，当他又谈了一会儿，又把风景中一些有趣的东西指给她看，而她似乎对这些东西还不太熟悉的时候，她就渐渐地把更多的目光投向了他。然后他发现他的目光是完全直接的、毫不畏缩的。不过，这并不是一种可以被称为不体面的目光，因为那年轻姑娘的眼睛是极其诚实和清新的。那双眼睛美得出奇; and, indeed, Winterbourne had not seen for a long time anything prettier than his fair countrywoman's various features—her complexion, her nose, her ears, her teeth. He had a great relish for feminine beauty; he was addicted to observing and analyzing it; and as regards this young lady's face he made several observations. It was not at all insipid, but it was not exactly expressive; and though it was eminently delicate, Winterbourne mentally accused it—very forgivingly—of a want of finish. He thought it very possible that Master Randolph's sister was a coquette; he was sure she had a spirit of her own; but in her bright, sweet, superficial little visage there was no mockery, no irony. Before long it became obvious that she was much disposed toward conversation. She told him that they were going to Rome for the winter—she and her mother and Randolph. She asked him if he was a "real American"; she shouldn't have taken him for one; he seemed more like a German—this was said after a little hesitation—especially when he spoke. Winterbourne, laughing, answered that he had met Germans who spoke like Americans, but that he had not, so far as he remembered, met an American who spoke like a German. Then he asked her if she should not be more comfortable in sitting upon the bench which he had just quitted. She answered that she liked standing up and walking about; but she presently sat down. She told him she was from New York State—"if you know where that is." Winterbourne learned more about her by catching hold of her small, slippery brother and making him stand a few minutes by his side.

从这段话把这个女人称为温特伯恩的“乡下女人”，我们能得出什么结论呢?

不到两分钟，甚至更短，他就把所有的烦恼都忘掉了。这倒不是因为他的烦恼对他来说，比一个人的烦恼对另一个人来说，稍微减轻一点沉重和痛苦，而是因为一种新的强大的兴趣暂时把它们压下去，把它们赶出了他的脑海——就像人们的不幸在激动的新事业中被遗忘了一样。对吹口哨来说，这种新的兴趣是一种很有价值的新鲜事物，是他刚刚获得的，他正努力不受干扰地练习吹口哨。这是一种奇特的鸟叫声，一种流畅的啁啾声，在音乐中，舌头在很短的一段时间内碰到上颚发出来的。如果你是个孩子的话，你大概还记得怎么唱。勤奋和专心很快使他掌握了演奏的诀窍。他在街上大步流星地走着，嘴里充满了和声，心里充满了感激。他的感受就像天文学家发现一颗新行星时的感受一样——就强烈、深刻和纯粹的快乐而言，毫无疑问，男孩比天文学家更有优势。

夏天的夜晚很长。天还没有黑。过了一会儿，汤姆停住了口哨。一个陌生人站在他面前——一个比他大一点的男孩。在圣彼得堡这个又穷又破的小村子里，任何年龄、任何性别的新来者都是一件令人印象深刻的奇珍异宝。这个男孩穿得很讲究，在工作日穿得也很讲究。这简直令人震惊。他的帽子很精致，他那件扣得严严实实的蓝布罩衫又新又整洁，裤子也是这样。他穿着鞋——今天只是星期五。他甚至还系了一条领带，一条颜色鲜艳的丝带。 He had a citified air about him that ate into Tom's vitals. The more Tom stared at the splendid marvel, the higher he turned up his nose at his finery and the shabbier and shabbier his own outfit seemed to him to grow. Neither boy spoke. If one moved, the other moved—but only sidewise, in a circle; they kept face to face and eye to eye all the time.

下列哪一项隐含在文章中?

改编自《各国神话与传说洛根·马歇尔(1914)

很多很多个世纪以前，有两个兄弟，普罗米修斯和厄庇墨透斯。他们是泰坦诸神的儿子，泰坦诸神曾与朱庇特作战，被用铁链锁进了下界的大监狱，但由于某种原因逃脱了惩罚。

然而，普罗米修斯不喜欢在奥林匹斯山上的众神中间闲散的生活。相反，他更愿意在地球上度过他的时间，帮助人们找到更容易、更好的生活方式。因为地球的孩子们不像土星统治的黄金时代那样快乐。事实上，他们非常贫穷，可怜，寒冷，没有火，没有食物，没有遮蔽，只有可怜的洞穴。“有了火，他们至少可以取暖和做饭，”普罗米修斯想，“以后他们可以制造工具，为自己建造房屋，享受一些神的舒适。”

于是普罗米修斯找到木星，请求允许他把火带到地球上。但是朱庇特愤怒地摇了摇头。“真的是着火了!”“如果人类有火，他们很快就会变得像我们这些住在奥林匹斯山上的人一样强壮和聪明。我决不答应。”普罗米修斯没有回答，但他并没有放弃帮助人类的想法。“一定要找到别的办法。”他想。

有一天，他走在芦苇丛中，折下一棵，看到中空的茎干里充满了干燥柔软的髓芯，他惊呼道:“终于找到了!这样，我就能携带火，人类的孩子们就能得到这份伟大的礼物，尽管朱庇特不顾。”

他立刻拿着一根长长的茎杆，向遥远的东方太阳的住处出发了。他在清晨到达那里，就在阿波罗的战车即将开始穿越天空的旅程的时候。他点燃了他的芦苇，急忙赶回来，小心地守护着藏在空心茎中的那颗宝贵的火花。

然后，他教人们如何生火。不久，人们就开始做普罗米修斯所梦想的一切奇妙的事情。他们学会了烹饪、驯养动物、耕种田地、开采贵重金属并将其熔化成工具和武器。他们走出黑暗阴暗的洞穴，用木头和石头为自己建造了美丽的房子。他们不再悲伤和不开心，而是开始欢笑和歌唱。“看，黄金时代又来了。”他们说。但是木星不太高兴。他看见人们的权力一天比一天大，他们的富足使他生气。“那个年轻的泰坦!”当他听到普罗米修斯所做的事情时喊道。“我要惩罚他。”

他召唤力量和力量，命令他们抓住泰坦，把他带到高加索山脉的最高峰。然后他派瓦肯人用铁链把他绑起来，让他的手和脚被牢牢地绑在岩石上。瓦肯很同情普罗米修斯，但不敢违抗。

就这样，人类的朋友躺在那里，悲惨地被捆绑着，赤裸着被风吹着，风暴在他周围拍打着，一只鹰用它残忍的爪子撕扯着他的肝脏。但是，尽管普罗米修斯遭受了种种痛苦，他却没有发出一声呻吟。年复一年，他躺在痛苦中，但他不抱怨，不乞求怜悯，也不为自己的所作所为忏悔。人们为他难过，却无能为力。

有一天，一头美丽的白牛从山上经过，停下来用悲伤的眼神看着普罗米修斯。“我认识你，”普罗米修斯说。“你是爱娥，曾经是居住在阿尔戈斯的一位美丽而幸福的少女，被朱庇特和他嫉妒的王后注定要打扮成这样在地球上游荡。向南走，然后向西走，直到你来到伟大的尼罗河。在那里你将再次变成一个比以前更美丽的少女，并将嫁给那个国家的国王。从你们的种族中，将会出现一位英雄，他将打破我的枷锁，解放我。”

几个世纪过去了，一位伟大的英雄赫拉克勒斯来到了高加索山脉。他爬上崎岖的山峰，杀死了凶猛的鹰，用有力的打击打破了束缚人类朋友的锁链。

谁是“人类的朋友”?

改编自温泉关之战Charlotte M. Yonge (1876)

为此目的派出的部队来自不同的城市，约有4000人要守住关口，对抗200万人。他们的领袖是列奥尼达，他刚刚成为斯巴达两位国王之一。斯巴达是希腊最重要的城市，它把自己的儿子们训练成勇敢的士兵，不怕死。列奥尼达已经下定决心，这次远征很可能是他的死期，也许是因为在德尔斐的神庙里有一个预言:斯巴达应该由赫拉克勒斯族的一个国王的死来拯救。根据法律，他可以带着300人一起去，这些人是他精心挑选的，不仅因为他们的力量和英勇，还因为他们有儿子，这样就不会有一个家庭被毁灭。这些斯巴达人，连同他们的农奴或奴隶，组成了他的一部分，但所有的军队都在他的指挥之下。甚至有人说，这300人在出发前要举行自己的葬礼，以免被敌人夺去，因为，正如我们已经看到的，这是希腊人的信仰，死者的灵魂在举行葬礼之前得不到安息。这样的准备并没有吓倒列奥尼达和他的手下的灵魂，以及他的妻子戈戈，她不是一个胆小或阻碍他的女人。很久以前，当她还是个小女孩的时候，她的一句话使她的父亲没有听到波斯国王的叛国消息;每个斯巴达女人都被培养成能够对她最爱的人说，他们必须“带着盾牌或扛着盾牌”从战场上回来。

为什么斯巴达人在离开前要举行葬礼?
