Question

There was a doctor in our city who was famous for his skills. Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.

The child’s mother was very much thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”

“Fifty pounds”, he answered.

The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.

试题分析: 讲述了一位医术高超的医生，因为将一个重病的小孩子治愈并康复，所以小孩子的母亲来感谢医生。这位母亲想要以手工制作的钱包报答医生，可是医生拒绝接受礼物，只需要付给他应得的医药费即可。

1.】细节理解题。从第一段Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again小孩子是患了重病的，.多亏了他的医术和治疗，这位小患者康复了，而且很快就能再次站起来，跑了。可知选B。

2. feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.我觉得单靠钱是不能报答你的，所以我亲手做了这个小钱包，以示感谢，希望你会收下它。故选C。

3. lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. 当医生拒绝钱包，让女士付钱时，她是从自己做的钱包里取出来的，可见当时这位女士是打算多送点钱给医生，所以以送钱包做个幌子而已，这可以看出女士不是吝啬的，她是很大方的。由此女士应该是会认为这个医生很正直，对其有尊敬之意。故可以排除掉B,C,D项。故选A。
