Question

My friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away. She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford.

When I met her father, he began to explain he was too poor once and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful.

Before he showed me what he was giving away, I thought the toys would be mostly lego's(樂高積木) or things like that. When he was showing me around I saw a bed, a slide, a kitchen set and many other things that just blew my mind. He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff.

As I was looking around I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty. Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back. I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.

In the eyes of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal. I know that we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter really does enjoy all these nice things!

【解析】

試題分析：朋友的父親把一些閑置的兒童玩具送給我，我對他表示非常感謝，不料他對我萬分感謝，因為他為這些玩具找到了重新利用的地方。

1.C 推理判斷題。 根據文章的第二段和第四段的最后一句“but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.”可知，老人把玩具送人是想讓這些玩具得到充分利用。C項表述符合文意，其他三項文中沒有提及，故選C。

2.C 細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段的最后一句“I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.”可知，在作者看來，老人感謝是因為這些玩具將被好好利用，并不是想讓她更內疚（A項）、想讓她趕快把這些玩具拿走（B項）或他終于處理掉這些物品（D項），C項表述符合文意，故選C。

3.B 推理判斷題。根據第三段的倒數(shù)第二句可知作者并不是把所有的玩具都拿回家了，A項表述不符合文意；通讀全文可知老人善良且考慮周到，B項符合文意；根據第四段的前兩句可知C項表述不符合文意；D項表述文中沒有提及。故選B。

4.D 細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段的倒數(shù)第二句和最后一段可知，被給了這些玩具后，作者既感到內疚又充滿了感激。D項表述符合文意，選D。
