Question

One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述了一個(gè)眼睛盲了的小孩在路邊乞討，旁邊牌子寫著“我是盲人，請(qǐng)你幫助我”，但沒有幾個(gè)人給他錢。一個(gè)路人幫他把牌子改成“今天天氣很好，我卻看不見�！焙芸焖�就得到了很多人的幫助。同樣的意思，不同的表達(dá)和創(chuàng)意，結(jié)果就不一樣。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中描述What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”他寫的是“今天是美麗的一天，但我卻看不到”，故選B。
【小題2】詞意猜測(cè)題。結(jié)合后文“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”你就是早上改了我牌子的那個(gè)人嗎？你些了什么？可知此句為The boy recognized his footstep sand ask, 男孩認(rèn)出了他的腳步并問道。故選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中內(nèi)容可知I am blind. Please help me.我是盲人，請(qǐng)幫助我，故選C。
【小題4】判斷推理題。在那個(gè)人改了牌子之后，Soon the hat began to fill up.帽子很快就裝滿了（錢），從而判斷A正確。
考點(diǎn)：故事類短文閱讀。
