分析 从前有个小孩父母不在了，没钱上学，有个老男人经常帮助他．有一次一个大石头挡住了村庄和城镇之间的路，没有人能移动它．这个小孩说能移走石头，但没人相信．第二天石头真被移走了，原来他在石头旁边挖了一个洞，然后轻松地把石头推到洞里面了．
解答 36-40 DCGEB
36 D 由前文"The man paid him nothing except food and clothes"及后文"He found some old books near the school and taught himself to read and write．"可知，理查德为了赚钱上学而去工作，但是并没有获得金钱，他并未因此失去信心，最后他在学校附近找到一些旧书店，以此来自学读书和写字．37 C 由后文It connected the village and the town"可知，在两座山之间有条狭窄的小路，连接着村庄和城镇．
38 G 由前文But the stone weighed thirty tons at least and the strongest young men couldn't do that"，可知，有一天早上，人们发现一块至少重约30吨的大石头横在了小路中间，没人能搬走它，也没人能想到搬走它的方法，这个时候理查德说他有一个搬走石头的方法．
39 E 由原文"few men believed him…Night fell and people went home．Only the boy stayed there"能推断出，没有人相信他，甚至有人还嘲笑他，夜晚来临的时候大家都回家了，只有小男孩还待在那儿．
40 B 由下文"‘He dug a big hole beside the stone'，said the old woman"可知，此处是那个老妇人回答农民的问题的．村民们都不知道是谁搬走了石头，老妇人说是理查德全部搬走的．
