A man got a parrot which could already talk. It had belonged to a sailor and had a big vocabulary. However, the man soon discovered that the parrot mostly know bad words. At first he thought it was funny, but then it became tiresome, and finally, when the man had important guests, the bird’s bad words embarrassed him very much.
As soon as the guests left, the man angrily shouted at the parrot, "That language must stop!" But the bird answered him with curses. He shook the bird and shouted again, "Don’t use those ugly words!" Again the bird cursed him.
Now the man was really angry. He grabbed the parrot and threw him into the refrigerator. But it had no effect. From inside the refrigerator, the parrot was still swearing. He opened the door and took him out, and again the bird spoke in dirty words and curses. This time, the man opened the door of the freezer, threw the bird into it, and closed the door.
This time there was silence. After two minutes, the man opened the door and removed the very cold parrot. Slowly the shivering parrot walked up the man’s arm, sat on his shoulder and spoke into his ear, sounding very frightened:
"I’ll be good, I promise... Those chickens in there ...what did they say?"
选项
A、Because it wanted to behave as well as the chickens.
B、Because it didn’t like to be put into the refrigerator.
C、Because it was afraid of being killed, just like the chickens.
D、Because it decided to leave a good impression on its owner.
答案
C
解析
推理判断。鹦鹉在冰箱冷冻室里看到了被宰杀的鸡,所以想知道那些鸡都说了些什么(才遭此厄运),可推断出它是怕受到同样的处置。
