Question

【题目】阅读表达

Ben was hoping for a video game for his birthday. There was also a board game he wanted. Finally, he wanted some comics.

He got the board game and some comics, but what was in the last package? It was from his sister, Karen. He slowly unwrapped the package. It didn't feel like a video game.

It was a purple sweater. Purple was his least favourite colour. He smiled and thanked Karen nicely, but he didn't want 'to wear that sweater. He couldn't wear purple!

He quickly put the sweater away in his room. Then he ran off to play his new board game with his family.

One day a few weeks later, Ben's mother asked him about the sweater. "Why don't you wear your purple sweater today?" she asked him. "Your sister made it just for you!"

"I'm not cold," Ben said without thinking. That day he was cold all day.

Then one day they were going out to dinner as a family. His mother asked him to wear the sweater again. "I don't want to wear it because I hate it," he quickly replied.

"Ben," said his mother," I know it's not the nicest sweater in the world, but think about how important Karen is to you. You know she will be proud if you wear it just this once."

Ben walked slowly to his room. He knew she was right. He wore the sweater to dinner.

His sister smiled all night.

本篇讲述本在生日时候如愿以偿收到他喜欢的礼物——棋盘游戏和一些漫画，还收到姐姐亲手做的一件紫色的衬衫；由于不是他喜欢的颜色，他不喜欢穿。在一次家庭聚会时，妈妈提醒他要穿上这件衬衫，因为那代表姐姐在他心中是多么重要。本终于领会到衣服对于他的意义，穿上那件衬衫。

【1】根据第二段和第三段“It was from his sister, Karen. …It was a purple sweater”可知他的姐姐Karen送给他一件紫色的衬衫，故答案为His sister Karen.

【2】根据第八段“I know it's not the nicest sweater in the world, but think about how important Karen is to you. You know she will be proud if you wear it just this once."”可知妈妈的劝说让本知道穿这件衣服的意义，故答案为He followed his mother’s words.

【3】生活中，我们看重的不是那份礼物，而是送礼者的那份心意，因此，即使收到不喜欢的礼物，还是要用；故答案为Yes, I will. I think more about the real heart of the person who makes it rather than the gift.
