After saying “Good morning” to Mr. King, Bill told the owner about his bad dream. Last night he

dreamed Mr. King’s plane crashed after it took off. Mr. King was surprised to hear this. He

decided to go by land.

Bill’s dream came true. That morning the plane really crashed just after it had taken off. Later

Mr. King returned to his office and heard the accident. To express his thanks, Mr. King gave Bill

5,000 dollars with a letter.(44)Mr. King told Bill that a man like him should be sent away. Bill was

surprised and asked, ”Why?” Mr. King said,” Go home and read the letter, and you will know

why.”

Bill went home and opened the letter in a hurry. After he read it, he became sad. In the letter

there is only one sentence. But it was enough to tell the reason.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Mr.King was surprised to hear the dream.

【2】A night watchman can’t sleep on his duty, but you did.

【3】一天早上他很早去办公室准备出差到另一个城市。

【4】金先生告诉比尔像他这样的人应该开除。

【5】A bad dream.

【解析】本文主要说的是比尔给他老板讲述他做的一个噩梦。他昨晚梦见金先生的飞机起飞后坠毁。金先生很惊讶听到这个，决定从陆地走。那天早上，飞机真的在起飞后不久就坠毁了。后来金先生为了表达他的感谢，王先生给了比尔5000美元和一封信。

【1】根据文中Mr. King was surprised to hear this.可知答案该为Mr.King was surprised to hear the dream.

【2】根据短文可推测到老板开除比尔是因为值班人不能睡觉，但比尔睡了，所以信中的句子可能是A night watchman can’t sleep on his duty, but you did.

【3】Get ready to准备去做某事；go to the airport去飞机场；set out for a city出发去一个城市。故答案为：一天早上，他很早去办公室准备出差到另一个城市。

【4】Send away开除，解雇。故答案为：金先生告诉比尔像他这样的人应该开除。

【5】读短文知，本文主要说的是比尔给他老板讲述他做的一个噩梦。所以可给本文命题为A bad dream。
