試題分析：這篇短文告訴我們：當這個官員10歲時，他在這所學校學習。50歲的時候他回到學校來做報告。他認為孩子們比以前更幸福。然而一個矮個子小男孩卻說：“如果你的講話足夠長的話，今天上午我們就不用上數(shù)學和生物課了�！�

1.這位老人回到學校來做報告。根據(jù)The teacher asked him to give a talk to the small boys and girls there.故選C。

2.當這個官員10歲時，他在這所學校學習。據(jù)A 50-year-old American officer came back to his school.和 I studied in this school forty years ago. 故可知選B。

3.孩子們被認為比以前更幸福。根據(jù)When I was your age, we were not as happy as you are today. Think about it and answer me, why are you so happy now?故選D。

4.前面的矮個兒男孩說了實話。根據(jù)With a big smile on his face, the boy stood up and said, "If you speak long enough, we won't have Maths and biology lessons this morning."可推斷出男孩說的是實話，他不喜歡學習，應該選B。
