A woman bought a parrot from a pet store. However, the woman decided to return the parrot to the shop the next day.

"This bird doesn't talk," she told the pet shop owner.

"Does he have a mirror in his cage (笼子)?" the owner asked. "Parrots love mirrors."

The woman bought a mirror and left. The next day she came back, saying that the bird still wasn't talking.

"How about a ladder? Parrots love ladders," the owner said. The woman bought a ladder and left. But the next day, she was back.

"Does your parrot have a swing? No? Well, once he starts swinging, he'll talk," the owner said.

The woman then bought a swing and left.

When she walked into the store the next day, she began to cry. "The parrot died," she said.

The pet store owner was shocked. 'I’m sorry. Tell me, did he ever say anything?" he asked.

"Yes, right before he died." the woman answered. "in a low voice, he asked me; Don't they sell any food at that pet store?"'

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述一个女人买了一个鹦鹉，但是鹦鹉不说话，她去找店家，店家让她买镜子、梯子和秋千，最后因为没有食物，鹦鹉饿死了。由此告诉我们一个道理，有时我们会忘记生活中什么是必要的事情。有时候我们需要立刻做许多事情，但是我们开始忘记处理最重要的事情。

【1】词义猜测题。根据"This bird doesn't talk," she told the pet shop owner“她告诉店主：这个鸟不说话”可知，这个女人应该买了鹦鹉，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据The woman bought a mirror and left、The woman bought a ladder and left以及The woman then bought a swing and left可知，这个女人在店主这里买了镜子、梯子和秋千，故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据"Yes, right before he died." the woman answered. "in a low voice, he asked me; Don't they sell any food at that pet store?“这个女人回答：是的，在他死之前，他用微弱的声音问我，在那个宠物店里不卖食物吗？”可知，因为鹦鹉没有吃食物，所以死掉了，故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据"Yes, right before he died." the woman answered. "in a low voice, he asked me; Don't they sell any food at that pet store?"'“这个女人回答：是的，在他死之前，他用微弱的声音问我，在那个宠物店里不卖食物吗？”可知，这个鹦鹉说话了，故选A。

【5】细节理解题。根据"Yes, right before he died." the woman answered. "in a low voice, he asked me; Don't they sell any food at that pet store?"'“这个女人回答：是的，在他死之前，他用微弱的声音问我，在那个宠物店里不卖食物吗？”可知，这个女人忘记给鹦鹉买食物了，排除A；根据We sometimes have lots of things to do at once, but we forget to deal with the most important things first“有时候我们有很多事情要同时做，但是我们忘记了先处理最重要的事情”可知，我们不应该忘记最重要的的事情，排除C；根据The woman bought a mirror and left. The next day she came back, saying that the bird still wasn't talking以及全文可知，这个鹦鹉最需要的是食物，而不是镜子、梯子和秋千，故选B。

细节理解题是考试时经常考查的一个题型。做细节理解题时，首先要先读题干，划题干中的关键词，再根据关键词定位至文中即可找到正确答案。例如第2题。根据关键词bought以及from the pet shop owner定位至The woman bought a mirror and left、The woman bought a ladder and left以及The woman then bought a swing and left，这个女人在店主这里买了镜子、梯子和秋千，故选C。
