题目内容
One day a very wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of which would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “ How was the trip?”
“It was great , Dad .”
“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah?” said the son.
“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek (小溪) that has no end. We have lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve themselves . We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property（财产） to protect us but they have friends to protect them.”
With this the boy’s father was speechless .
Then his son added , “Dad, thank you for showing me how poor we are.”
Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don’t have. What is one person’s priceless object is another’s prize possession. It’s all decided on one’s perspective (视角). Think about what would happen if we all gave thanks for what we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have.
Be thankful for every single thing in your life, exactly as it is now–and especially your friends. Be sure to take the time to express your appreciation and gratitude for the people whom you are close to.

解析本文介绍了富翁的儿子随父亲旅行时的感悟，最后引申出人要知足的道理。
【小题1】which引导宾语从句，指代前面的farm
【小题2】 从下文知，这是在旅行结束返回时儿子的感悟，故选择return
【小题3】儿子学到了很多东西，感觉旅途“太棒了”，disappointing“太失望了”和
surprising“太让人惊喜了”和shameful“羞愧”都不合乎文意。
【小题4】 父亲问儿子学到了什么。所以填learn。
【小题5】reach有到达和连接的意思。get只表示人的到达。arrive后不跟to，跟at和in。flow后跟into。此处表示池塘流入花园。
【小题6】没有尽头的小溪。填no。
【小题7】 当选择夜晚照明的stars与富翁家花园的lanterns对应。
【小题8】 他们家的“一小块地”
【小题9】 beyond 表示超出一定范围。此处接sight表示一望无际。
【小题10】 依据上下文知此处应填反身代词，为自己服务。
【小题11】 句意为“高筑围墙保护自己的财产”
【小题12】 从文章可以推断，父亲此时“说不出话来”
【小题13】 儿子说完一段之后继续补充，所以是add
【小题14】从文意知，儿子从穷人身上感觉到知足的快乐，觉得自己精神上贫穷。
【小题15】 与下面prize procession对应。
【小题16】 此处开始发表议论，我们常常“忘记已经拥有的，只注意自己没得到的”
【小题17】 decide on，由…决定。
【小题18】 give thanks for 感谢。最后文章总结，要对已经拥有的东西心存感谢。
【小题19】 instead of表示代替，是…而不是…
【小题20】especilly放在句首，表示强调，特别地。

小学生10分钟应用题系列答案I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅) : I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
