A well-known speaker started his talking by holding up a $20 bill．In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up．He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He began to crumple(弄皺) the 20 dollar note up．He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air．

"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe．He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty．

"Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air．

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson．No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value．It was still worth $20."

"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way．We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value." "Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you．The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE."

"You are special — don’t ever forget it."

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段里的： No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value．It was still worth $20.可知他是想要人什么明白錢(qián)的價(jià)值一直未變過(guò)。故選A。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。句意：No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value．It was still worth $20.無(wú)論我對(duì)這張錢(qián)做什么，你們還是想要它，是因?yàn)樵趦r(jià)值上它沒(méi)有decrease,它還值20美元。A． become more變多；B． become less 變少；C． change fast變快；D． stay the same保持一樣。錢(qián)沒(méi)有減少，所以還值20美元。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。題意：作者在文中暗示了什么？A． we should try our best to make more money我們應(yīng)該盡力多掙錢(qián)；B． we should try to make ourselves special我們應(yīng)該使我們自己特別；C． we can word hard to prove ourselves我們可以努力提高自己；D． we might meet with a lot of difficulties in our life人生中我們可能遇到許多困難。由短文最后一段可知，人生中會(huì)摔跤、像紙幣一樣被弄皺、會(huì)跌倒，由此可知本題選D。
