Passage 4
Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, “Where is your father?” The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, “No more.”
The man was very surprised. He asked, “No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?”
"Burnt yesterday evening."

試題分析：這篇短文是一個有趣的故事。故事中的父親要離開家一星期，走之前告訴自己的兒子，如果有客人來就告訴他們他一星期后就會回來。并把這句話寫在了一張紙上。前幾天并沒有客人來，所以兒子就把那張紙燒了。結(jié)果第二天就有客人來了，客人跟孩子之間鬧出了很大的笑話。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week可知，文中的父親外出要一周后回來，也就是7天后。故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中he wrote these words down on a piece of paper，他把這些話寫在了一張紙上。故選C。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中four days passed, but no one came to see his father…The next afternoon, someone knocked the door, 我們可以知道，四天過去了，沒有人來找他的父親，第二天下午，有人敲門。可知四天后的第二天，也就是第五天。故選D。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中Where is your father?  No more.你的父親在哪里？ 沒有了。兒子只想著他燒掉的那張紙，所以和客人之間發(fā)生了誤會，客人以為是他的父親沒有了，即去世了。故選A。
小題5:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening. 可知燒掉的是那張紙。故選A。

Dear World,
My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for some time. And I wish you would treat him gently.
You see, up to now, he has been king of his own room. He has been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to treat his wounds, and to comfort his feelings.
But now things are going to be different. This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start his life.
So, World, I wish you would take him by the little hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him there are heroes, leaders and friends in this world. Give him quiet time to think over the mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.
Teach him to believe in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him he is wrong.
Teach him to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.
Teach him never to put a price on his heart and spirit.
Teach him gently, World, but don’t love him too much, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, and see what you can do. He’s such a little fellow.

My daughter finally lost her first tooth. She waited for this moment for more than a year.
Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose (松的) tooth. I never saw her so happy — except on Christmas, Children’s Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out!
I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow (枕頭). When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, “Will the tooth fairy (牙仙) let me keep the tooth?” I told her she might and she’d have to wait and see.
The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It’s believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn’t think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away.
And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I’d remember to put it under my daughter’s pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered.
小題1: How many of the following things make the writer’s daughter happy?
a. Christmas   b. Children’s Day
c. her birthday    d. the missing tooth
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
小題2: What do the two underlined words in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．my daughter; the tooth fairyB．my daughter; my daughter
C．the tooth fairy; my daughterD．the tooth fairy; the tooth fairy
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The daughter is a second-grader.
B．The writer is a mother.
C．The real tooth fairy in the story is the writer.
D．Several kids in the daughter’s class lost one tooth.
小題4:What may be the best ending of the story?
A．A new tooth grew during my daughter’s sleep that night.
B．My daughter woke up at midnight and saw the beautiful tooth fairy.
C．The next morning my daughter was glad to find the money and the tooth.
D．The other kids in the first grade laughed at my daughter because she lost a tooth.
