Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter was on his desk till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
Dear sir, I got married forty years ago. Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I didn’t pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience(讓我良心不安)all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100, and I think that is about ten times at today’s price. Now, I am sending you that amount. Yours truly, A customer |
After reading the letter, the boss said,“Well, life is always full of surprise!”

【解析】 【主旨大意】一個(gè)人對(duì)四十年前所做的一件錯(cuò)事心懷內(nèi)疚,多年以來(lái)的負(fù)罪感和妻子的去世終于使他下定決心償還這一筆債務(wù)。文章讀來(lái)頗有教育意義。
1. 細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)應(yīng)題。句子With the note was a short letter. 給出了答案。
2. 綜合判斷題。劃線單詞的下文got no job “沒(méi)有找到工作”和out of work “失業(yè)”,都在提示上文的劃線單詞意義為“失業(yè)”。正是因?yàn)槭I(yè)的窘境才導(dǎo)致寫信者偷了店里的戒指。
3.細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)應(yīng)題。信件的末尾句At that time the ring cost $100提示答案。
4.綜合理解題。寫信的人是通過(guò)償還自己四十年前所拿戒指的錢來(lái)求得心理解脫。
5.細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)應(yīng)題。通過(guò)短文開(kāi)始When he opened it, 可知是老板親自打開(kāi)了信件。
