The Fat Problem That Men Face
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.Listening to them is not such a pleasure.Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly.
However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later.There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me, with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".
Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals.Take my oldest brother,a former college football player,as an example.His daughter says that several tinies a day he will stand at attention and call out,"Fat,medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed arid says,"Am I getting fatter?" His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."
And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn.
After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat?
选项
My oldest brother's daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案
B
解析
文章第一段说看到某一年龄段的男士们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情,而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男士们在这个问题上还是新手,他们会毫不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发胖的问题。故选A。
文章第一段第三句话说某一年龄段的女士们不谈论发胖的问题,尤其是在既有女士也有男士的社交场合。因此,在男士面前,女士们也不会谈论此问题。故选A。
文章第二段第一句话说男士们开始为发胖的问题而担心的年龄各不相同,因此该题说男士们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。故选B。
由文章第二段第四句和第五句话可推测出,那位记者以前身材纤瘦,因此他过去并不喝Diet Coke。过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部,而不是为了保持纤细的体型。故选B。
文章第三段第一句话说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖这个问题上已经丧失了自尊,总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此,他们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。故选A。
文章第三段说作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖,原因是她想取悦父亲,以便得到自己想要的东西,比如一盘新录像带,而不是因为怕她父亲伤心。故选B。
文章最后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发胖这个问题上最令人同情,但并没有提到是因为身边没有妻子来同情他们。故选C。
