Question

【题目】Years ago， I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there， and I had never met her， yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon， sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by， I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat， including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning， I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way， the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window， but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart， through my own shortcomings? Since then， whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone， I asked myself first， “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

【解析】试题分析：多年前，作者喜欢通过窗户看隔壁楼里的一位妇女看书。有一天他注意到那位妇女家的窗户脏了，觉得很讨厌。决定擦自己的，擦完之后，坐下来一看，才知道是自己窗户脏的缘故。这件事情给作者的触动很大，在以后的生活中，每次他想批判别人的时候，都扪心自问：“我是正在通过自己的脏窗户看别人们？”

【1】细节理解题。根据第四段“Her window is clean”可知是我的窗户脏了。故选A。

【3】推理判断题。由文章中的第一句话Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city.可知A是错误的。“I had never met her”可知D是正确的。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。从这篇文章中的最后一段，我们可以学习到“批评别人的时候先看看自己”。故选C。
