Question

【題目】 A young man went to see a wise man, saying that after graduation, he set goals for himself, but years later he still achieved nothing. The wise man was reading in the small house by the river, when the young man found him. With a smile, the wise man heard the young man 's words, and said to him, "Come to help me boil a pot of water first!" The young man saw a big pitcher 水罐) standing in the corner, next to a small fire stove(爐子),but he found no firewood in the stove, so he went out for it.

He came back with some dead wood, filled up the pot with water and put on the stove. He put some firewood in the stove and burned up, but because the pot was too large, when the wood burned out, the water did not boil. Then he ran off to get firewood. When he went back, the water had nearly turned cold. This time he became smart, so he was not eager (急切的)to light the fire, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled pretty soon.

The wise man suddenly asked him, "If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?" The young man thought for a moment and shook his head. The wise man said, "If so, pour out some water of the pot!" The young man nodded thoughtfully. The wise man continued, "You had so many things you want at first and set too many goals, just as the large pot was filled with too much water but you didn't have enough firewood, so you couldn't boil water, and if you wanted to make the water boil ,you’d better empty some of the water.

【解析】

本文講述了一個(gè)年輕人的故事。畢業(yè)后，他給自己定了目標(biāo)，但多年后他還是一無所獲，他找智者答疑。智者讓他用小火灶爐煮開一壺水（壺很大），剛開始他試了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)柴火，發(fā)現(xiàn)根本水煮不開；后面他準(zhǔn)備了很多柴火，終于燒滾了。智者建議他應(yīng)該倒掉一部分水，年輕人突然醒悟過來。當(dāng)他回去的時(shí)候，他從他的計(jì)劃中刪除了許多列出來的目標(biāo)，只剩下最近幾個(gè)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“A young man went to see a wise man, saying that after graduation, he set goals for himself, but years later he still achieved nothing.”一個(gè)年輕人去見一位智者，他說，畢業(yè)后，他給自己定了目標(biāo)，但多年后他還是一無所獲。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Come to help me boil a pot of water first”先來幫我煮一壺水吧!故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ …This time he became smart, so he was not eager (急切的)to light the fire, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled pretty soon.”這一次他變得聰明，所以他并不渴望(急切的)來生火，但是出去尋找一些柴火。因?yàn)槟静駵?zhǔn)備好了，水很快就開了，所以之前是沒有足夠的柴火。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“ if you wanted to make the water boil ,you’d better empty some of the water.”如果是這樣的話，把鍋里的水倒出來一些!故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“When he went hack he removed many listed goals from his plan, leaving only a few recent ones”當(dāng)他回去的時(shí)候，他從他的計(jì)劃中刪除了許多列出來的目標(biāo)，只留下最近的幾個(gè)，所以他明白不應(yīng)該設(shè)立太多目標(biāo)，故選B。

做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要先劃關(guān)鍵詞，再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。

本文第四題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“The wise man advised the young man to boil the water ”定位到“…and if you wanted to make the water boil ,you’d better empty some of the water”如果是這樣的話，把鍋里的水倒出來一些!故選D。
