inside. The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate. There he sits for days and years. He makes many attempts to be let in, and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests. The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly, questioning him about his homeland and many other things, but they are indifferent questions, the kind great men put, and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet. The man, who has equipped himself with many things for his journey, spends everything, no matter how valuable, to win over the gatekeeper. The latter takes it all but, as he does so, says, ―I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything.‖②

During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously. He forgets the other gatekeepers, and this first one seems to him the only barrier for entry into the law. He curses the unlucky circumstance, in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud; later, as he grows old, he only mumbles to himself. He becomes childish and, since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has also come to know the fleas ( 跳蚤) in his fur collar, he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper. Finally his eyesight grows weak, and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him. But he recognizes now in the darkness a ray of light which breaks out of the gateway to the law. Now he no longer has much time to live.

Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper. He waves to him, since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body. The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him, for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man. ③ ―You are insatiable (不知足的).‖ ―Everyone strives after the law,‖ says the man, ―so how is it that in these many years no one except me has requested entry?‖ The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, ―Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I’m going now to close it.‖ ④ 65.Which can best describe the man from the country? A. Brave but innocent. B. Loyal but ridiculous. C. Tolerant but stubborn. D. Trustworthy but childish.

66.What is the implied meaning of the underlined sentences? A. Anyone who breaks the law will get severe punishment. B. It’s next to impossible for people to gain entry into the law. C. The gatekeepers are powerful enough to defend the law.
