Question

【题目】A young man went into a car shop. He was wearing old shoes and a dirty jacket. He needed to have his hair cut badly. The young man looked at an expensive car carefully and then turned to speak to the shopkeeper.

“How much is this car?” he asked.

“250,000 yuan,” the shopkeeper said.

“I’ll have six of them,” the young man said.

The shopkeeper smiled. He found it hard to be polit.

“You’re joking, of course,” he said, “I’m afraid we can’t help you. This car is not for sale.” The shopkeeper showed the young man the door and the young man left the shop without a word. He went to another shop on the other side of the street and asked for six cars. The second shopkeeper was polite and helpful. The young man happily paid for the cars.

短文大意：一个穿着破烂的青年人走进一家汽车商店，他想买6辆汽车，一辆为自己，另外5辆买给他的朋友。在买车时受到了第一个店主的歧视，不愿意卖给他汽车。而第二家汽车商店的老板态度很好，彬彬有礼，青年人高高兴兴地买了车。实际上那个青年人非常有钱，从而告诉我们不能从穿着打扮上去判断一个人是否有钱。

【1】句意：一个穿着旧鞋和一件脏夹克的年轻人走进了一家汽车商店。根据上文中的句子“A young man went into a car shop. He was wearing old shoes and a dirty jacket.”一个年轻人走进一家汽车商店。他穿着旧鞋和一件脏夹克。in+衣服，表示穿着什么衣服，也可以用现在分词wearing作后置定语，修饰A young man，故答案为wearing/in。

【2】句意：他想为自己买一辆车，为朋友买五辆车。根据上文中的句子“He said that the cars were for himself and his five friends.”可知，所买的六辆车是为他自己和他的五个朋友准备的。答案为himself。

【3】句意：店主向那位年轻人指了指商店的门。根据上文中的句子“The shopkeeper showed the young man the door and the young man left the shop without a word.” 店主向年轻人指了指商店的门，年轻人一言不发离开了商店。show sth. to sb.给某人出示某物，故答案为to。

【4】句意：因为他认为那个年轻人太穷了，买不起这六辆车。根据上文中的句子“The young man looked at an expensive car carefully and then turned to speak to the shopkeeper.”和“I’ll have six of them,” the young man said.青年人所要买的六辆车都很贵，第一个店主瞧不起他，认为他买不起，故答案为six/expensive。

【5】句意：我们不能通过一个人所穿的衣服去判断他是否富有。前文讲过一个穿着破烂的青年人在买车时受到了第一个店主的歧视，实际上那个青年人非常有钱，从而告诉我们不能从穿着打扮上去判断一个人是否有钱，答案为clothes。
