本文是一则寓言故事。讲述了一只猴子非常淘气，经常招惹野牛，但野牛从不生气。野牛说，正是因为猴子的淘气才让自己学会了耐心。听到野牛的话，猴子非常羞愧，立刻向野牛道歉，最终它们成为了好朋友。这个故事告诉我们：看问题时如果变换一种角度，坏事也许就是好事。

【1】细节理解题。题干意为：根据文章，这头野牛住在哪里？A项：在农场；B项：在动物园；C项：在森林；D项：在村庄。根据第一段第一句“Once upon a time，in a forest，there was a buffalo（野牛）”可知，野牛住在一片森林里。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。题干意为：猴子每天都做什么？根据第二段第一句“The other animals in the forest knew that the monkey always made fun of the buffalo.”可知，他总是戏弄野牛。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。题干意为：当知道猴子的行为时，其他动物给了野牛什么建议？根据第二段第三句“They even advised the buffalo to catch the monkey and punish him.”可知，其他动物建议野牛抓住猴子惩罚他。故选A。

本题的第2题，要求考生能根据题干中的关键信息“monkey”和“every day”准确定位至第二段第一句；其次是考生能将题干中的played a trick on和文中made fun of做同义替换，它们都有“拿……取乐”的意思。这样，该题就会迎刃而解。
