【逸闻趣事类】

Once when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the

circus.One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression on me.There were eight

children,all probably under the age of 12.The children were standing in line,two-by-two behind their

parents,holding hands.They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns(小丑),elephants and other

acts they would see that night.

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,“Please let

me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”

The ticket lady told him the price.The wife’s head dropped,and the man leaned a little closer

and asked,“How much did you say?”

The ticket lady again told him the price.

The man didn’t have enough money.How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he

didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?

Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand into his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and

dropped it on the ground.(We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father reached

down,picked up the bill,tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your

pocket.”

The man knew what was going on.He wasn’t begging for money but certainly appreciated the

help in a difficult,embarrassing situation.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand

in both of his,and he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family.”

My father and I went back to our car and drove home.We didn’t go to the circus that night,but

we didn’t go without.

语篇解读:作者叙述和父亲买票看马戏表演时发生的事,作者得到了很大的收获:帮助他人得到了快乐、真情和满足。

答案及剖析:1.B 猜测词义题。他们在排队买票即将要看马戏表演,从后面的内容是小丑、大象和其他演出内容可知,孩子们正在兴高采烈地谈论将要看到的演出内容。

2.C 推理判断题。女售票员说出价钱,父亲的钱不够,从当时妈妈的动作——低下了头可以推知,她也知道钱不够,相当泄气,故C正确。

3.B 推理判断题。父亲虽然自己并不是有钱人,但以一种非常照顾到对方尊严的方式,帮助了别人,而宁可自己和孩子失去一次看演出的机会,故父亲是善良的人。

4.D 推理判断题。作者说,那天晚上,自己和父亲没能看成马戏表演,但并非一无所获,结合前文的经历,收获自然来自于对另一个大家庭的无私帮助,这种收获就是从帮助他人中得到的快乐、真情和满足。

5.C 事实细节题。从最后一段可知,作者和父亲没能看成马戏表演,但并非一无所获。故选C。

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃) ? Around the holidays,many

families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday

thefts.With just a few simple steps,you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of

the holiday celebrations.Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.

●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers,or tell your mailperson to

hold your mail until you return.Nothing says “Hey,we are not home!” like when your postbox is

filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.

●Set several different lights in your house on random timers(随机定时器).Don’t leave your

outdoor lights on all the time.Instead,put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.If

an outdoor light remains on for days at a time,it means that nobody is home to turn it off.

●If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation,leave them with a friend,rather

than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them.When thieves see a

neighbor or friend entering your house every day,they will know you are not home.

●Close all your curtains when you leave town.This is effective to deter possible thefts,as no one

can see what is in your house.If they don’t know what there is to take,then the risk is even greater for

them to break in.

This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on

holiday.Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home
