Question

【題目】 One day,a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said,“Look！There's a horseshoe（馬蹄鐵）. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said,“It isn't worth（值得）the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town,they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the money he bought some grapes.

It was very hot,and there wasn't a house or a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time,his father dropped a grape on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while,his father dropped another grape and once again,his son picked it up and put it in his mouth.

And then they went on. The old farmer dropped the grapes and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the grapes,his father said to him,“My dear son,if you had bent down（俯身）early to pick up that horseshoe,it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the grapes,always remember the lesson. A person who cares about the little things will meet with most success.

【解析】

這篇短文主要描述了一對父子在路上看到一塊馬蹄鐵，父親讓兒子撿起來，兒子不屑于做這樣的小事。后來父親通過一件事給了兒子一個很好的教訓(xùn)。從而告訴我們，如果想做大事，就要從小事做起。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“His father said nothing but picked it up himself.”可知最后是父親撿起了馬蹄鐵，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the money he bought some grapes.”可知父親用賣馬蹄鐵的錢買了一些葡萄，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time,his father dropped a grape on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it.”可知托馬斯是因為口渴去撿父親扔下的葡萄，故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后一段父親對兒子說的話可知父親一粒一粒的扔葡萄主要想給自己的兒子一個教訓(xùn)，故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文最后父親對兒子的話“A person who cares about the little things will meet with most success.”可知想做大事就得先從小事情做起，故選C。
