Question

I bought a jasmine（茉莉花）plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（開花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.

One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.

Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.

In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.

Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

試題分析：這篇短文大意為：作者買了盆茉莉花放在辦公室，希望它能開出美麗的花，散發(fā)出迷人的香氣，但是兩個月過去了，茉莉花并沒有開花，作者失去了耐心，把它送給了好朋友。但有一天作者去朋友Mary的辦公室的時候，發(fā)現(xiàn)跟他同時買的茉莉花開花了，作者由此明白了一個道理，生活中無論做什么事，都要有耐心。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第一段I had the plant for two months and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.我保存茉莉花兩個月，每天都會看它，但是沒有開花，也沒有香味，我很不開心，所以把它送給了我的朋友Linda。由此可知答案為D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me，當(dāng)我走進Mary的辦公室，她的茉莉花讓我很吃驚。故選D。

3.主旨大意題。作者通過他養(yǎng)茉莉花這樣一件事想告訴我們，生活中無論做什么事都要有耐心，文中最后一段I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient可知答案為A。
