Question

【題目】 A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a 100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this 100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.

Then he said, “I am going to give this 100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.

“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.

“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (無論) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (價值). It was still worth l00!”

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.

You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】D

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

文章講述一位著名的老師通過把錢揉成團(tuán)或弄臟踩到腳下，同學(xué)們?nèi)匀幌胍�它，來告訴學(xué)生，無論發(fā)生什么，你永遠(yuǎn)不會失去你的價值。

【1】根據(jù)第四段中的No matter what I did to the money，you still wanted it because it did not go down in value．可知錢不貶值；故選C。

【2】根據(jù)第五段中的…you are always valuable to those people who love you．可知對愛你的人你總是有價值的；故選D。

【3】根據(jù)第五段中的Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know，but who you are，but WHO YOU ARE可知你的價值不在于你做什么或你認(rèn)識誰，而在于你是誰；故選D。

【4】老師第一次問Who would like this￥100 bill？時，同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：The students began to put up their hands at once．老師第二次問Who wants it now？時，同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：The hands went back into the air．老師第三次問：Who still wants it？時，同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：Hands went back into the air．很顯然，Hands went back into the air中的back有類似again的含義，故選A。

【5】通讀全文可以看出，老師利用這張百元大鈔作為“教具”，其目的是想告訴同學(xué)們，無論你怎樣折騰這張百元大鈔，它的價值都不會因此而減少。同樣，對于我們也是一樣，無論我們怎樣，對于愛我們的人來說都是一樣的。所以選D最佳。
