单选题
The Bedouin people think most highly of people who
show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a
place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one's family and
tribe. The Bedouin take pride in their ancestors. They do not
admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an
honored family. They particularly respect those who have inherited a good name
and then have passed it on to their children. A man's position
among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow
tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they disgraced, he too is
disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage,
and his tribe. A man can protect his family's honor by being
have and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also
guards it by carefully watching the women of his family. A
Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even
if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of
her family depends upon her virtue.
