【题目】 David, an artist from the UK, found a lot of money in his new house-38,000 dollars in a place where no one could see it. Although he had Louse payments(贷款) he decided to return all of the money to the previous(先前的)owner of the house, Mr. Brown. Would you have done the same? Just days after he had bought the house, David came into the small house. When he was walking around in the house, he noticed a little hole in the wall. He didn’t know what was inside, so he walked towards the wall. It was very dark inside, but an old box caught his eye. “It was heavy. I thought there might be some pieces of wood,” he said. In fact, there weren’t. It was full of lots of dollar bills. But he and his wife knew they had to return the money to Mr. Brown.

“We have three boys and we teach them to be honest and to do what is right, and we knew this was a teachable moment that I would never get back again,” David said. “it’s been a great lesson for our kids.”

【答案】

1No, there weren’t. / No.

2He decided to return the money (to Mr. Brown/ to the previous owner).

3Because they can learn to be honest/ to do what is right./ Because they can do something honest with it.

4I would also return the money back, because this is not my own thing. It’s a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

【解析】

文章讲述了一位英国的艺术家在买完房子不久,他发现墙上有一个小洞,在里面发现了一个装满钱的箱子,虽然他有贷款要还,但是他仍然决定把钱还给以前的房主,他认为这是一个教育孩子要诚实的好机会。

1根据文中“It was heavy. I thought there might be some pieces of wood,” he said. In fact, there weren’t. It was full of lots of dollar bills. “很重。我想可能有一些木头碎片,”他说。事实上,不是。里面装满了很多美元钞票。可知箱子里面装的并不是木头碎屑,故答案为No, there weren’t./ No.

2根据文中David, an artist from the UK, found a lot of money in his new house-38,000 dollars in a place where no one could see it. Although he had Louse payments(贷款) he decided to return all of the money to the previous(先前的)owner of the house, Mr. Brown. 大卫,一位来自英国的艺术家,在他的新房子里发现了很多钱——38000美元,在一个没有人能看到它的地方。虽然他有贷款,但是他决定把钱还给先前的房主,布朗先生。可知他决定把钱还回去,故答案为He decided to return the money (to Mr. Brown/ to the previous owner).

3根据文中“We have three boys and we teach them to be honest and to do what is right, and we knew this was a teachable moment that I would never get back again,” David said. “it’s been a great lesson for our kids.” 大卫说:“我们有三个男孩,我们教他们诚实,做正确的事,我们知道这是我再也找不回来的一个值得教导的时刻。”这对我们的孩子来说是一个很好的教训。可知是因为他觉得这样可以教他们的孩子诚实,怎么做是正确的,故答案为Because they can learn to be honest/ to do what is right./ Because they can do something honest with it.

4如果我是大卫,我也会把钱还回去,因为这本身就不是属于我的东西,“拾金不昧”是中华民族的传统美德,我作为一个中国人必须要有这样的品质,故答案为I would also return the money back, because this is not my own thing. It’s a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

【题目】 Once there lived a farmer who owned a land along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Even after letting out several advertisements to look for someone to take care of his farm, no one seemed to sign up for it.

People were reluctant to work along the Atlantic, it had frequent storms. These storms were cruel, violent and destroyed every building and crop field they touched.

After months of advertising and request refusals, a man came to the farmer for the job. “Do you have any skills or experience to work on a farm like this?” the farmer asked him.

“Well, I may not have enough experience, but I can sleep when the wind blows,” replied the man.

Although the farmer wasn’t sure if the man was the right person for the job, the farmer was too desperate to have someone to help him on the field that he hired him anyway. The man worked well around the farm. The farmer was pretty satisfied with the man.

Then one stormy night, the strong wind blew hard and woke the farmer. The farmer immediately got off his bed and headed towards the quarter where his helper was sleeping.

“Wake up!” the farmer shouted, throwing the soundly asleep man off the bed, “A storm is coming. Tie things down before they get blown away.”

The man sat up and said, “No, sir. I told you I can sleep when the wind blows.”

The farmer turned red with fury after listening to this. He controlled all his will to fire the man because at the moment it was more important to secure his fields and barn than to argue with his helper. The farmer ran out to tie the things up and was surprised by what he saw.

All of the chickens were in the cages, the cows were in the barn, the doors were closed, and the shutters were firmly secured. Everything was tied down so that nothing could be blown away.

The farmer smiled. Now, he understood what the man meant by when he said he could sleep when the wind blew. He went off to bed and slept soundly through the storm.
