I worked for a short time as a cashier(出納員) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before  Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有價值的) in the wallet, the   owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter   and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At  once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(現(xiàn)金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬勞) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.

Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the   owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my    mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

1.Which of the following is true?

A．The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone.

B．The writer wasn’t surprised when the man gave her a reward.

C．Nothing in the wallet was missing.

D．The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back.

2.The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______.

A．she thought Christmas was coming

B．the owner came back too soon

C．she didn’t know there was so much money in it

D．a(chǎn)s an honest person, she didn’t care much about money

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The writer accepted a reward of $ 20.

B．The writer regretted (后悔) that she had returned the wallet.

C．The writer didn’t return the wallet until the owner came back.

D．The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet.

 

【答案】

1.C

2.B

3.B

【解析】

1.選C。由于作者并未打開錢包，更沒有從中取出什么，所以說Nothing in the wallet was missing。

2.選B。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it可排除選項C和D。比較選項A和B，再結(jié)合文章大意，選B為佳(from www.zkenglish.com)

3.選B。此題可用排除法來做：根據(jù)第1段最后兩句He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away可知選項A與文章內(nèi)容相符；選項B的意思是“作者直到失主返回來才將錢包還給他”，這顯然與文章內(nèi)容相符；根據(jù)第2段最后一句話The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy可知，選項D也與文章內(nèi)容相符。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺）in her general store.       1.         I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy.        2.        I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.     3. By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妝品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I sho uld wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into make-up ideas.    4.       .

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.     5.      and expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers

E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
