Question

Mr. Knight was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

Mr. Knight soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as a price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”

The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had actually(in fact) paid nine. There were three men. $9´3="$27." The assistant kept$2. $27+$2="$29." Where is the missing dollar?

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇有趣的文章，有點象腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎，三個人住一個房間，一人付10美元，Mr. Knight退還5美元，還有2美元被助手扣留了，錢是正好的。

1.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.說明這三個人住在了一個小房間里，故C正確。

2.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第三行ten dollars for each person.說明每個人都付了10美元。故D正確。

3.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段后三行I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.說明他并沒有把五美元都分給這三個人，而是自己留了2美元。故B正確。

4.D 計算題。本題是一個計算題，實際上每個客人付了9美元，一共是27美元。Mr. Knight收了25美元，還有2美元被助手扣留了，并沒有所謂的丟失的一美元。故D說法正確。
