求谏
吴兢
太宗威容俨肃，百僚进见者，皆失其举措。太宗知其若此，每见人奏事，必假颜色，冀闻谏诤，知政教得失。贞观初，尝谓公卿曰：“人欲自照，必须明镜；主欲知过，必藉忠臣。主若自贤，臣不匡正，欲不危败，岂可得乎？故君失其国，臣亦不能独全其家。至于隋炀帝暴虐，臣下钳口，卒令不闻其过，遂至灭亡，虞世基等，寻亦诛死。前事不远，公等每看事有不利于人，必须极言规谏。”
贞观元年，太宗谓侍臣曰：“正主任邪臣，不能致理；正臣事邪主，亦不能致理。惟君臣相遇，有同鱼水，则海内可安。朕虽不明，幸诸公数相匡救，冀凭直言鲠议，致天下太平。”谏议大夫王珪对曰：“臣闻，木从绳则正，后从谏则圣。是故古者圣主必有争臣七人，言而不用，则相继以死。陛下开圣虑，纳刍荛，愚臣处不讳之朝，实愿罄其狂瞽。”太宗称善，诏令自是宰相入内平章国计，必使谏官随入，预闻政事。有所开说，必虚己纳之。
贞观五年，太宗谓房玄龄等曰：“自古帝王多任情喜怒，喜则滥赏无功，怒则滥杀无罪。是以天下丧乱，莫不由此。朕今夙夜未尝不以此为心，恒欲公等尽情极谏。公等亦须受人谏语，岂得以人言不同己意，便即护短不纳？若不能受谏，安能谏人？”
贞观八年，太宗谓侍臣曰：“朕每闲居静坐，则自内省，恒恐上不称天心，下为百姓所怨。但思正人匡谏，欲令耳目外通，下无怨滞。又比见人来奏事者，多有怖慑，言语致失次第。寻常奏事，情犹如此，况欲谏诤，必当畏犯逆鳞。所以每有谏者，纵不合朕心，朕亦不以为忤。若即嗔责，深恐人怀战惧，岂肯更言！”
贞观十六年，太宗谓房玄龄等曰：“自知者明，信为难矣。如属文之士，伎巧之徒，皆自谓己长，他人不及。若名工文匠，商略诋诃，芜词拙迹，于是乃见。由是言之，人君须得匡谏之臣，举其愆过。一日万机，一人听断，虽复忧劳，安能尽善？常念魏征随事谏正，多主朕失，如明镜鉴形，美恶必见。”因举觞赐玄龄等数人勖之。   （《贞观政要》）
【小题1】对下列句子中划线词的解释，不正确的一项是 （  ）

A．因举觞赐玄龄等数人勖之。 勖：勉励

B．寻亦诛死寻:不久

C．如属文之士属文：叮嘱写文章

B．愚臣处不讳之朝师道之不传也久矣

C．言而不用臣诚恐见欺于王而负赵

D．又比见人来奏事者乃使从者衣褐

①公等每看事有不利于人，必须极言规谏
②诏令自是宰相入内平章国计，必使谏官随人，预闻政事
③公等亦受人谏语，岂得以人言不同己意，便即护短不纳

　　In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game that he called“Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico”to“Alph”and then to“Criss Cross”.He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial(商业性的)success.

　　In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name－“Scrabble”.

　　At first it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2250 sets and by 1952 it had only reached 8500 sets a year.

　　Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play“Scrabble”while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock(储备) the game and make an effort(努力) to call the public's attention to it.

　　As a result,“Scrabble”became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

The text is mainly about ________.

　　We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“When I got that job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or is he envious(嫉妒) of my luck?”“And Paul－why didn't I find that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, we think about what can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

　　Why do we go wrong about our friends－or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides(隐瞒) their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you,“You're a lucky dog.”Is he really on your side? If he says,“You are a lucky guy.”That's being friendly. But“lucky dog”? There's a little envy in these words.

　　How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words mean the way he looks? His way of speaking? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save mistakes.

[　　]

[　　]

B．it means the same as“You're a lucky guy”

C．people can't use the word“dog”when talking about a person

D．sometimes the words give a possible answer to the feeling behind the words

3．The writer tells us ________.

[　　]

A．how we won't make mistakes about money and friends
