Question

【題目】 Sometimes, it is great fun to show people that they are important through some acts of kindness. My daughter Cindy, an 8-year-old girl, was kind of shy in the past, but one thing makes her become very active and outgoing.

Last month, Cindy felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so I took her to the hospital. When we were waiting outside the waiting room, we saw a lady standing just beside us. She was very depressed and worried. I didn’t know her, so I said nothing to her. However, Cindy gave a smile card to the lady and said, “I hope everything goes well with you.” It brought tears to the lady’s eyes. She hugged Cindy and said nothing. Later, Cindy gave out five more smile cards that day.

Last Monday, I did some shopping with Cindy in a supermarket. After we bought what we wanted, we went to the counter (t柜臺(tái)). To my surprise, I couldn’t find my wallet and I didn’t know what to do. Cindy was so worried that she wanted to cry. At that time, a lady came to us and paid for us. Oh, she was the lady to whom Cindy gave a smile card in the hospital. I said “thank you” to her. She said, “I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”

Now we have always enjoyed helping people and smile cards are a good tool to do more. Of course, what we have done has changed my daughter’s personality (性格).

【解析】

本文講作者的女兒Cindy在醫(yī)院安慰了一位傷心的女士，后來作者和女兒購物時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)錢包丟了，那位女士幫她們付了錢并對(duì)Cindy之前的善意表示感謝。這件事讓人們明白了善舉的重要性。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“…but one thing makes her become very active and outgoing.”可知，有一件事讓Cindy的性格變得積極又外向，故選C。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文“It brought tears to the lady’s eyes.”可知，Cindy的一張卡片就讓這位女士熱淚盈眶，所以當(dāng)時(shí)她的心情應(yīng)該是很沮喪的，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“…Cindy gave a smile card to the lady…”可知，Cindy送給那位女士一張微笑卡片，故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“She said, “I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”可知，那位女士很感謝Cindy在醫(yī)院對(duì)她的善意，所以這次她也伸出了援手，故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“…I couldn’t find my wallet…”可知，丟了錢包的是作者而不是Cindy，A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第二段“Last month, Cindy felt uncomfortable in her stomach…”可知，Cindy胃不舒服是在上個(gè)月，而不是上周，B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段“I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”可知，Cindy的善意讓那位女士很感動(dòng)，C項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)“…what we have done has changed my daughter’s personality.”可知，改變Cindy性格的不是作者，而是她們做的事，D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C。
