Question

A teacher let her class play a game. The teacher told each child to bring a bag with some potatoes. Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes in his/her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated. Some children had two potatoes, some had three and others had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they went for a week. After a week, the teacher asked, ”How did you feel?” The children started complaining about the unpleasant smell coming from the rotten potatoes when they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes everywhere they went.
Then the teacher said,” This is the same when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?”

解析试题分析：本文叙述了一位老师让学生用土豆来代替所憎恨的人，憎恨几个人就在书包了带几个土豆，走到哪带到哪。一周后，学生抱怨腐烂的土豆气味。由此，老师教育学生腐烂的土豆气味，我们一周都忍受不了，那一辈子心里装着憎恨的气味会是什么样？
【小题1】推理判断题。根据第一段的Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes in his/her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated.可知孩子书包里土豆的数量是孩子讨厌的人数，因此包里有两个土豆，说明他有两个憎恨的人。故选A。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据第一段的The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they went for a week.可知教师要求学生走到哪，装有土豆的书包就带到哪。故选B。
【小题3】词义猜测题。根据第一段的the unpleasant smell可知土豆的味道不好闻，因此此处是指土豆腐烂了。故选D。
【小题4】推理判断题。根据最后一段的If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?”可知腐烂的土豆气味，我们一周都忍受不了，那一辈子心里装着憎恨的气味会是什么样？也就是说一辈子憎恨别人是不会让人快乐的。故选B。
【小题5】标题归纳题。根据最后一段的The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.可知憎恨的气味污染着你的内心，让你不快乐，因此宽恕了别人也就宽恕了自己。故选D。
