The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano De Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man-brave, polite, manly, and bright. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell. Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher（哲學(xué)家）made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world. Historically, man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his feelings. Expressions about the nose refer to human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy（嫉妒）and revenge（報(bào)復(fù)）. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example,“to hold up one’s nose”expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose, lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase“to have one’s nose put out of joint”is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.
(1) This passage is about ________.
[ ]
A．the human nose, an organ for breathing and smelling
B．the nose giving various expressions
C．a(chǎn) woman poet’s wish to have two noses
D．interesting comments made on Cleopatra’s nose
(2) According to Blaise Pascal,“Cleopatra’s nose”________.
[ ]
A．did change the whole face of the world
B．should be shorter
C．represented her powerful character
D．had been cut shorter
(3)“To hold up one’s nose”is an expression of ________.
[ ]
(4) A man who is described as“to have one’s nose put out of joint”________.
[ ]
A．is happy
B．wants to sell a flower
C．is ill
D．feels hurt and rejected

[ ]
A．it is easy to solve
B．it is hard to crack
C．it is something quite easy to understand
D．there is plain-looking nose on your face
