Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village. Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.. My wife said to me, quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said loudly, "It's a beautiful table,dear,isn't it?" "I won't decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.
Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said:
BILL
One dining table June 10,1995
Cost of wood 17.00
Paint(油漆) 1.50
Work,8 hours(1 an hour) 8.00
Total(总计) 36.50
When I was looking at the bill,Henry said,"It’s been a fine day,hasn’t it?” “ Quite sunny.” "Yes,”I said. "I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.” "Me too,” said Henry, "You wait--it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.” "Yes. Hotter--and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th,won't they,Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him. "If it isn't too much trouble,Henry,”I said,"Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him 26. 50 and he was happy to get it.
【小题1】Why did Henry talk about weather when the writer was looking at the bill?

A.Because it was a fine day indeed,
B.Because he wanted the writer to look at the bill carefully.
C.Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.
D.Because he didn't want the writer to go through the bill carefully.
【小题2】Why did the writer say that dining tables would be 20 more expensive
by the end of June?                                      
A.Because he thought Henry would almost certainly add the date to the cost of the dining table.
B.Because it was difficult to make dining tables in hot weather.
C.Because paint would be more expensive.
D.Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.
【小题3】The writer thought Henry would ask for______if he made a dining table on the last day of June.
A.26.50 B.56. 50 C.46.50 D.20.00

  Having returned from her round trip(往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station.“The railway owes(应给予)me£12, ” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night.So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel.It cost me £12.”

  Harry was worried.He remembered selling the woman a return ticket.“Come into the office, madam, ” he said politely, “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

  The woman and her little girl followed him inside.She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered.There was no sailing on May 22nd.How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day.Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.“You look sunburnt, ” he said to her.“Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey? ”

  “Yes, ” She answered, shyly.“The beach was lovely.And I can swim too! ”

  “That's fine, ” said Harry.“My little girl can't swim a bit yet.Of course, she's only three…”

  “I'm four, ” the child said proudly.“I'll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother.“I remember your ticket, madam, ” he said.“But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you? ”

  “Err, well…” the woman looked at the child.“I mean… she hasn't started school yet.She's only four.”

  “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam.A child's return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see…£13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
