Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, "Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."

【解析】

文章讲述了史密斯老师在教室里放了一个塑料苹果，问学生们能否闻到苹果的气味，由于第一个说闻到了气味影响了其余的大多数学生，而只有一个学生持相反的看法，却是正确的，这则故事告诉我们要坚持自己的见解。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, “Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air.” Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. 史密斯先生走到学生面前，经过他们每个人的身边，说：“请再闻一闻，看看空气中是否还有苹果的味道。”一半的学生举手表示他们能闻到。可知，第二次问的时候有一半的学生回答能够闻到，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中Everyone said yes but one student, Henry. Mr. Smith went to him and asked, “You really can’t smell the apple?” Henry answered, “No, I can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a real（真的）apple.”可知，他没有闻到苹果的气味，故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据文中All of the other students were surprised. Some of them might have thought that the apple was not real, but they didn’t have the confidence（自信）to speak up. They just “followed the leader” and went along with the first student.其他学生都很惊讶。他们中的一些人可能认为苹果不是真的，但他们没有信心说出来。他们只是“跟着领导”，跟着第一个学生走。可知，老师这样做是为了给学生们一个教训，故选B。

【4】主旨大意题。文章通过老师拿一个塑料苹果让学生闻，并且提问学生们是否能够闻到气味，而大多数学生都因为第一个学生的回答而跟着回答，只有一个学生坚持自己的看法，目的就是让学生们能够相信自己，不要随波逐流，故选A。
