Question

【题目】 Dwight Morrow was a famous banker and diplomat(外交官) of America in the 20th century.

Once, Morrow travelled in Rugby, England. During this period, he left the station nearby. While walking on and on, he got lost. So he asked a local boy of the way. The boy told him, “Turn right from here until a grocery store, and then turn left from there. Go straight on and you will find a place with a four-street intersection(十字路口)...” With that, the boy thought for a while and went on saying, “When you get there, you are not far from the station. Then you’d better ask someone else. But even if I tell you now, you may not remember.”

According to the boy’s guide, Morrow got to the four-street intersection pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station in no time.

This was a minor matter, but it had great influence on Morrow. Morrow realized that each person’s ability is limited and many problems can not be worked out in one day.

【解析】

本文讲述了20世纪美国著名的银行家和外交官德怀特莫罗在英国拉格比旅行迷路时，向一个小男孩问路的经过。这是件小事，但对莫罗有很大的影响。他意识到每个人的能力是有限的，许多问题不能在一天内解决。

【1】细节理解题，根据第三段“According to the boy’s guide, Morrow got to the four-street intersection pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station in no time. ”可知他在男孩和一个过路人的帮助下到达目的地。故选D。

【2】细节理解题，根据第二段中“Go straight on and you will find a place with a four-street intersection(十字路口)...”后面是省略号，说明还有很多要说的，路线应该比较复杂，男孩觉得他一时很难记住。故选B。

【3】主旨大意题，莫罗先是根据男孩的描述到一个地方，然后询问另一个人到达目的地，如果男孩一次告诉他，他可能不会记住，甚至记错，从而不能到目的地。这次经历对他的影响是做事情要循序渐进。故选C。

【4】最佳标题题，本篇通过莫罗问路的经过总结出做事情要循序渐进，不能放弃，这样就会成功，B. Never ever give up从不放弃。更能体现主题，故选B。
