Question

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.

As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather?jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.

Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.

【解析】文章大意：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者在等紅燈時(shí)見到了四位穿著皮夾克、騎自行車的年輕人，他們看起來(lái)粗魯而危險(xiǎn)，然而他們正在為貧困兒童募捐，他們的目光充滿善良和友好。此事讓作者意識(shí)到，不能以貌取人，而應(yīng)看他人的行動(dòng)。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第四句“My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs.”可知，歌曲間歇插播的新聞使作者沒(méi)了好心情。故答案選A。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句“Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.”可知，作者想要告訴讀者不要以貌取人，行動(dòng)更重要。故答案選B。
