Question

阅读 Who Is Fooled? 　　Just as the teacher was coming into the classroom, one of the boys, whose name was James, said loudly, “Teacher is a fool．” The teacher pretended not to have heard this．He went up to the platform and said,“ Today we are going to have a lesson on punctuation．Punctuation in a sentence is very important．Look at this sentence．” He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the following sentence on the blackboard：James says the teacher is a fool．The class laughed．“Now,” continued the teacher, “with two commas I can change the meaning of the sentence entirely．” He then put in two commas and the sentence read： 　　James, says the teacher, is a fool． 　　Notes： 　　1．fool V．愚弄；玩弄，标题中的be fooled是被动语态。n．愚人；傻瓜 　　2．whose的先行词是one of the boys，由whose引出的从句，其前后均有逗点，是非限制性定语从句。 　　3．pretend v．伪装；假装，其后接动词不定式。在句中它后面接not to have heard，表示：老师假装没听见。 　　4．platform n．讲台 　　5．punctuation n．标点；标点使用法，a lesson on punctuation是关于标点使用法的课，这里的on相当于介词about． 　　6．comma n．逗点，entirely adv．完全地。全句可译作：我用两个逗点就能完全改变这话的意思。 　　7．read在这里是过去时，它的意思是：读作：改为。 (1) What did James say when the teacher was coming?
