Question

A traveller was staying in an Egyptian village. One day, she held up her camera to take pictures of the children. Suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. The traveller's face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his soul(灵魂) if his picture was taken. She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't. When she believed that the head didn't fear any longer, the traveller then let him speak. With a smile, he said, "The children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take off the lens(镜头) cap!"

文章讲述了一个有趣的小故事，一个旅游者没有打开镜头就拍照片，引起了一场误会。
1.B 细节题。根据文章最后一句The children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take off the lens(镜头) cap!可知B正确。
2.A 推理题。她道歉是因为他知道没有事先告诉别人就拍照片，是不礼貌的。
3.D 推理题。根据She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time.可知他是不想头领担心她所做的。
4.C 推理题。头领笑着没有说话，是因为他想告诉她一些其他的事情。
5.C 推理题。他告诉她镜头没有打开说明她不介意她拍照片，那么C所说害怕相机会伤害孩子是错误的。
