1.My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days.The employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants.
On the first day,an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day.He explained,"Sir,I had been told about this,but because of my larger size,it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford."
Last night,Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because he couldn't afford the clothes.I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.
When training started this morning,the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman."You have 10minutes to be in proper clothes,"he was told.At this point,Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10minutes to get him the clothes.He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger.Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收據(jù)) and couldn't return them-a little white lie.The pants were a perfect fit,the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
"My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night,but we didn't have enough to buy the clothes,"he told Robert."It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!"
More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

分析 作者在文章中講述了自己拿出自己的積蓄為一個陌生人購買一身合適的工作裝的故事.
解答 24.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的Onthe first day,an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothesand he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the rightclothes the next day.可知第一天,他班上的一位老先生沒有穿合適的衣服,他嚴(yán)格地告訴他,如果第二天他沒有穿合適的衣服,他就會被解雇.所以如果穿的衣服不合適,就會被解雇,也就是失去工作.故選C.
25.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的Ihad some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case itwas needed.我手頭有一些現(xiàn)金,羅伯特今天早上帶著它,以防萬一.可知作者手頭有現(xiàn)金,所以錢是作者的.故選C.
26.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段的Roberttold him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收據(jù)) and couldn't return them-a little whitelie.可知Robert撒了一個善意的謊言,才讓老人接受了衣服.故選B.
27.D 主旨大意題.通讀全文可知,本文主要講述了作者為一個陌生人購買合身的衣服的故事,全文都圍繞合身的衣服為基點展開.所以給陌生人的合適的衣服是最好的標(biāo)題.故選D.
