Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

　　Alan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners(举止).

　　One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment(约会). He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to bring his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.

　　“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?” The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”

　　This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: Well, he's not deaf. He must be just rude(无礼). “Why won't you tell me the time, sir?” he said again.

　　The man turned towards him and said, “Try to understand me. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say, ‘That's all right.’ You may then say, ‘It's a beautiful day.’ To which I may say, ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly talk. You are a polite young man and so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept.

　　“We talk. I like you. You like me. I ask you to my house. You meet my daughter. She is a very nice girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry(结婚). And I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Now do you understand my problem?”
