Question

　Mr. Scott worked in a middle school. He read a lot. He taught well and could answer all the questions his students asked. And they liked him very much. One Sunday morning, when he was dressing his son, Jimmy, the boy suddenly asked, “May I ask you a question, Dad?” “Of course you can,” answered Mr. Scott. “Are you sure that you can answer it?” “Certainly.” “Well,” said Jimmy, “Are there any holes in your socks?” “Holes?” Mr. Scott said in surprise. “It’s impossible.” “Look at them carefully, or you’ll be wrong!” Mr. Scott took off his socks and looked at them carefully but didn’t find anything wrong.
　　“No, there’s no hole in them,” said Mr. Scott. “I bought them only last week.” “How can you put your feet into them, then?” Little Jimmy said with a smile. At first Mr. Scott didn’t know what to say. After a while he began to laugh with a red face.

Answer 1

小题1:teacher    小题1:young   小题1:holes 小题1: joke   
小题1:clever/bright/naughty/lovely/ cute

1. 根据Mr. Scott worked in a middle school及He taught well可知他在学校上班并教得好，故他是一个老师。
2. 由when he was dressing his son可知他给他的儿子穿衣服，故他的儿子太小不能自己穿衣，故为young。
3. 根据“No, there’s no hole in them,”可知他发了很久没有发现袜子上有洞，考虑到前面用的were，故为holes。
4. 从下文可知他的儿子是给他开玩笑，因为他儿子说他的袜子有个大洞，不能怎么穿进去，很明显是个笑话，故为joke。
5. 推测题。从整个文章来看，他儿子这么问他爸爸，其实是个玩笑，故他很聪明，我们也可以说他很可爱等等。
