六、阅读理解
Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans - galactic visitor to the Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol?
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms”.
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on the Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?
Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid(尽量避开)me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um… wow. That’s just…
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored(崇拜)me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on the Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain(款待)me.
Me: Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in(参与)a little, to be a good guest?
Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on the Earth. The Earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha? I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on the Earth. You’re just a boastful(自夸的), spoiled alien.
