Question

11．When Abraham Lincoln was young，he worked in a store．One day a woman came into the store and bought some things．They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents．
The bill was paid，and the woman was satisfied．But the young storekeeper，not feeling quite sure about his calculations （計算），added up the things again．To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars．
"I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more，"said young Abe，upset．
It was an unimportant thing，and many salespersons would forget it，but Abe was too careful for that．
"The money must be paid back，"he decided．
At night，he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer．He explained the matter，paid over the six and a quarter cents，and returned satisfied．
Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty．A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea．The young man weighed it out．This was the last sale of the day．
The next morning，when beginning his duties，Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales （磅秤）．It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night，and so，of course，given his customer short weight．Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery．But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound，shut up the store，and carried it to the customer．I think that the name，so often given in late times to President Lincoln，of"Honest Old Abe"，was well deserved （應(yīng)得的）．

Answer 1

分析 亞伯拉罕•林肯年輕的時候在一家商店工作，一天一個女人來買了一些東西，加起來是2美元85美分，但是年輕的店主人認(rèn)為不是，再次算了一遍，發(fā)現(xiàn)應(yīng)該是2美元．"我讓她多給了85美分，林肯不安的說．這是很小的一個數(shù)目，多數(shù)店員都會忽略這樣的小數(shù)目．但是林肯非常有道德，無法忘記多收錢的事．他決定："必須把錢還回去．"夜里，徒步走到這個顧客的家．一到那，他解釋了來意，還給她85美分，滿意的回去了．另一件林肯誠實(shí)的故事是，一個女人進(jìn)入商店要一磅茶葉，這是那天最后一次銷售，第二天早上，他發(fā)現(xiàn)秤上有四盎司的重量．他馬上想起來昨天晚上稱的茶葉，少稱了，他鎖上店門，帶上少給了的茶葉去了顧客家．這件軼事給了他一個新名字：誠實(shí)的林肯．

解答 45．答案：B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段He explained the matter，paid over the six and a quarter cents，and returned satisfied．可知林肯將多算的錢送回去了，故選B．
45．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第六段Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales （磅秤）．It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night，and so，of course，given his customer short weight．可知他沒有留意到秤上本就有四盎司．故選C．
45．答案：C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后so often given in late times to President Lincoln，of"Honest Old Abe"，可知林肯是誠實(shí)的，結(jié)合第三段 many salespersons would forget it，but Abe was too careful for that．這是很小的一個數(shù)目，多數(shù)店員都會忽略這樣的小數(shù)目，最后Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery很多人都不會在意，但是兩次林肯都親自登門，可知林肯是個負(fù)責(zé)的人，故選C．
