Question

【题目】（题文）When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down.

I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?" I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.

My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man's face looked like, but he taught me a lesson-people are more important than things.

本文讲述了有一个陌生人帮助作者的故事，作者背着弟弟，把他的鞋丢了，想把弟弟放下，去找鞋。有一位陌生人告诉他，人比东西重要，并乘坐出租车把他们送到他母亲工作的地方。作者记不清那个人的样子，也无法找到他们说声谢谢，为此他感到抱歉。

【1】【1】A

词义猜测题。根据My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you.可知我这一生依赖于很多陌生人的仁慈，但是我无法找到他们，说声谢谢，因此我为此会感到抱歉，故选A。

【2】【2】A

推理判断题。根据It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.可知“你没有找到那只鞋，没关系，但是你丢了你的弟弟，那就不行了”故推断此处表示弟弟比鞋重要，人比任何东西都重要，故选A。

【3】【3】D

推理判断题。根据He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi. 可知这个人不仅告诉我人比东西重要，而且坐着出租车，把我送到妈妈的工作车间，故推断这个人是善良的，故选D。
