In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk.
As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.
It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.
It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.
"Well, "my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."
"Did what?" I asked, utterly confused.
"Took the chair."
Actually, since I'd walked. through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.
Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A.men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk
B.women are becoming more capable than before
C.in women's liberation men are also liberated
D.it's safe to break rules of social behaviour

The day was like any other day in his life, Tom walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much were still there. Looking down, he felt sorry for himself.

Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair (轮椅), He noticed (注意到) that the boy moved the wheel with his hands. Tom looked at his own feet, "It's much better than being without (没有) feet.

I felt sorry for him, far from home in the service of his country. Writing to him seemed almost a patriotic duty. But as we got better acquainted, our letter-writing pace increased—to as many as three a day. I started driving home at lunch to collect the mail.
Then Ken came back in leave, and we surprised ourselves by getting mantled and going overseas together. Romantic? Not really, because then he left on a three-week mission, making our honeymoon a by-mail event too.
We didn't set out to defy romantic customs; it just turned out that way, and stayed that way. We had been married seven years before we remembered our anniversary—and then only because my mother phoned to wish us a happy one. It took another ten years for us to notice Valentine's Day.
To celebrate our alertness that year, we decided to have a conventionally romantic evening; a quiet, just-the-two-of-us dinner at a nice restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told there would be a 40-minute wait, and so we headed for another nice, but not so romantic place. About halfway to our second choice, Ken realized that the restaurant would not honor our credit card and we were low on cash. I sighed and said, "I do have enough for a fast-food place." Clearly, we were veering far off the conventional coupe.
While Ken placed the order, I gathered napkins and straws and went to select a romantic spot in the nonsmoking area. There I found a woman methodically turning chairs up onto tables. "This section's closed," she said.
"But it's the only nonsmoking section," I protested. She pointed across the room. "You can sit over there."
"That's the smoking section," I argued.
"I know," she said. "But you don't have to smoke."
I started to protest but stopped to choke back a laugh. Maybe because she thought I was going to cry, she removed the opened chairs from a table and said, "This okay?" I thanked her and, after she had gone, sat giggling until Ken arrived with the hamburgers.
Surrounded by a forest of upside-down chair legs, we had our Valentine dinner. It wasn't exactly quiet, with grill workers yelling at each other in the kitchen past the swing door near our table. But it was just the two of us, if you didn't count the person with the mop who kept humping our chairs.
According to the context, "flowers or candy, moonlight walks, lingering good-byes" are to indicate ______.
A.some examples of conventional customs
B.an intimate friendship
C.a special relationship
D.an ordinary acquaintance

I have sometimes stayed long enough in one place to be owned by a cat and it is on those occasions that I at last feel sympathy with parents who cannot control their children. I have the firmest belief in discipline, especially for the cat who adopts me and is kind enough to allow me to share her home and provide her with food. She will have a comfortable basket and not sit on any furniture; she will come when called or have no supper; and she will at all times behave towards me with the respect I show towards her. And then what happens? She refuses even to consider the basket, and, as soon as my back is turned, settles on my favorite chair, daring me to move her on my return. At some unexpected moment after I have sat down, she springs suddenly on to my knees and delightedly ruins my stockings with her claws, complaining angrily, even painfully with the sharpest of teeth, if I bend down to pick something up. I dare not rise to change the television program, however much I dislike it, and she watches dreamily the moving shadows on the screen. She comes not to my call, but when she is ready, hours later, and I am so relieved to see her that her supper is increased in amount. When put out at night (with fierce disapproval) she waits till I am asleep and then cries noisily at my bedroom to come in. An hour later she cries even more noisily at the bedroom door to be let out again.
If I go away on holiday, a neighbor feeds her, who reports on my return on her sweetness, her obedience and perfect behavior. I am the only one that she delights in defying.
Dogs are pleasant animals, friendly, faithful and intelligent. Dogs have proper respect for the human race. You know where you are with a dog; never with a cat, who will be selfish, vain, ungrateful and quite unreasonable. But that's just it. Who wants to know where he is with any living thing? It is the free, the strange creature of grace and beauty, the independent and unknown, that attracts, not the worthy, respectful, dependable slave.
What is the writer's feeling for cats?
A.She gives them unreturned worship.
B.They are a combination of annoyance and intense admiration.
C.She is quite fond of them.
D.She is ashamed of being their slave.
