across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. 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?39. the writer couldnt see everything clearly through the window because_.a. the womans window was dirty b. the writers window was dirtyc. the woman lived nearby d. the writer was near-sighted40. the writer was surprised that_.a. the woman was sitting by her window b. the womans window was cleanc. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon d. the womans window was still terrible41. the underlined sentence it dawned on me probably means _.a. i began to understand it b. it cheered me upc. i knew it grew light d. it began to get dark42. its clear that _.a. the writer had never met the woman beforeb. the writer often washed the windowc. they both worked as cleaner d. they lived in a small town43. from the passage, we can learn _.a. one shouldnt criticize others very oftenb. one should often make his windows cleanc. one must judge himself before he judges othersd. one must look at others through his dirty windowscone day when jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. the dog was looking up at the woman. jack walked up to the woman and said, hello, sue, how are you? may i sit and talk with you for a while? of course, please sit down, sue said. jack sat down next to sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. the dog continued to look up at sue, as if waiting to be fed. thats a nice dog, isnt he? jack said, pointing at the animal. yes, he is. hes handsome. hes a bit of a mixture, but thats not a bad thing. hes strong and healthy. and hungry, jack said. he hasnt taken his eyes off you. he thinks youve got some food for him. thats true, sue said. but i havent. they both laughed and then jack said, does your dog bite? no, sue said, hes never bitten anyone. hes always gentle and friendly. hearing this, jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animals head. suddenly it jumped up and bit him. hey!
