Question

A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”

The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.

“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man. “Here’s $10.”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.

“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

【解析】

試題分析：這個故事說的是一個兒子為了想讓父親陪他吃晚飯想跟父親要10美元錢，父親開始以為他想買玩具之類沒有用的東西，所以拒絕了。但是后來父親給了兒子10美元錢。這樣加上兒子攢的10美元，他就有20美元，他想用這20美元買父親的一個小時，讓父親陪他一起吃晚飯。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的第三行I make $20 an hour.”可知，這個人一小時可以賺20美元，故由此可知，10個小時應(yīng)該是200美元。故選D。

2.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文的第四段和第五段的內(nèi)容，故事中的兒子想跟父親借10美元，父親以為兒子要錢是想玩具之類的東西，所以很生氣。B選項意為很開心；C選項意為很興奮；D選項意為有點緊張。這些與文意不符。故選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第四段和第五段的內(nèi)容可知，兒子向父親要10美元錢，父親以為他是想買玩具之類沒有用的東西，所以非常生氣，拒絕給他錢。故選C。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)故事的結(jié)尾我們可以知道，故事中的兒子跟父親要了10美元錢，而他自己攢了10美元，他想用這20美元錢買父親一小時的時間，想讓父親和他一起吃晚飯。由此我們可以推斷出，故事中的父親平時工作很忙，沒有時間陪兒子，故選B。
