A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she cannot forgive（寬�。�.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3, while some had up to 5 potatoes.
The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes with them wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week. With days passing by, the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐爛) potatoes they were carrying.
Those children who have 5 potatoes really began to feel the weight of the heavier bags. After one week, the children were happy to hear that the teacher had finally ended the game. The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week?" The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred（仇恨）for somebody inside your heart. The burden（負(fù)擔(dān)）of hatred will pollute your heart and you will end up carrying an unnecessary burden with you wherever you go.
If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what a burden it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
小題1:According to the teacher, if a Child hates three persons, he or she needs to carry ________.
A．one potato B．two potatoesC．three potatoesD．four potatoes
小題2:The underlined word “tolerate ” in the last paragraph probably means _____________.
A．carry B．hate C．receive D．stand
小題3:In fact, the teacher wants to ______________.
A．play a game with the students B．teach the students a lesson
C．make the students more tired D．play jokes on the students
小題4:What is the main idea of the story?
A．It’s best to learn to forgive and forget.
B．Students should love people around them.
C．Children should carry less rotten potatoes.
D．Rotten potatoes are really a heavy burden.

小題1:C

試題分析：本文中老師是想通過這個(gè)事情告訴學(xué)生一個(gè)道理，不要在心里去討厭或者憎恨一個(gè)人，那樣太累了，還不如原諒別人。
小題1:C 推理題。根據(jù)第一段3,4行the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she cannot forgive（寬�。�.說明攜帶的土豆的數(shù)量取決于討厭的人的數(shù)量，故如果你討厭3個(gè)人，那么你就帶3個(gè)土豆，故Ｃ爭(zhēng)取。
小題2:D 推理題。根據(jù)本句If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what a burden it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"說明如果你不能容忍腐爛的土豆的味道，你能想象你一生中所擁有的討厭別人的負(fù)擔(dān)嗎？故該詞是指容忍的意思。故D正確。
小題3:B 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知實(shí)際上老師是想通過這個(gè)事情告訴學(xué)生一個(gè)道理，不要在心里去討厭或者憎恨一個(gè)人，那樣太累了，還不如原諒別人。故B正確。
小題4:A 主旨大意題。本文講述的是要學(xué)會(huì)原諒別人，不要然憎恨總是在我們的心里存在著。故A正確。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述的是要學(xué)會(huì)原諒別人。本文測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋�？忌紫纫屑�(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)。

Homeboy Goes to Harvard University
On January 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named Richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. He not only showed the potential（潛能）within young adults, but  encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.
Richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. He was forced into many different foster homes（寄養(yǎng)家庭）where he felt unhappy. He did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.
His uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. His uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in prison or die trying to be “a man.” His uncle’s teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. This teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isn’t related to drugs.
Richard is now a Harvard University graduate and has a great and loving family. Why? He was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.
After the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone around them, is knowledge. As Richard reminded them, “Knowledge is power.”
