【正确答案】 1、正确答案：Six years have slipped by since I came from the countryside to the capital. During that time, the number of so-called affairs of state I have witnessed or heard about is far from small, but none of them gave me much impression. If asked to define their influence on me, I can only say they made my bad temper worse. Frankly speaking, they taught me to take a poorer view of people every day. One small incident, however, which struck me significantly and jolted me out of my irritability, remains fixed even now in my memory. It was the winter of 1917, a strong north wind was blustering, but the exigencies of earning my living forced me to be up and out early. I met scarcely a soul on the road, but eventually managed to hire a rickshaw to take me to S-Gate. After a while, the north wind abated, leaving in its wake a clean stretch of road free of loose dust, which enabled the rickshaw man to quickened his pace. We were just approaching S-Gate when we knocked into someone who slowly toppled over. (From Lu Xun"s A Small Incident, July, 1920)
