拓展阅读（一）There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the air.The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming started and the jumping up and down.You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as youare of it? They lie.The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several days ago.The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time. 1．Where were they when the author saw a worm?A．In the house.B．In the garden.C．In the park.D．In the back yard.2．The worm fell down on the author’s________.A．leg B．head C．left eyelid D．right eyelid3．What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean?A．好运B．噩梦C．回忆D．愿望4．The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.A．a good manner B．a bad behavior C．unnecessary D．a must5．What does the passage tell us?A．The importance of apology.B．The importance of good manners.C．Many kinds of good manners.D．A story of a worm.【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B【导语】本文主要以作者与其孙子的故事来讲述礼仪的重要性。
