Zhou decided to ask his son why. The answer was a big surprise. Zhou's son paid a man 25 yuan and asked him to be his “father” at a parents' meeting!

“I did badly in my exams and I was afraid my father would find out，” says the boy.“ I didn't want him to be unhappy with me.”

The boy is not the only student to do that. Six of his classmates have used their pocket money to do that.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】No，he didn't.

【2】He paid a man 25 yuan and asked him to be his “father” at the parents' meeting.

【3】Because he did badly in his exams and didn't want his father to be unhappy with him.

【4】他甚至没有被邀请参加一场家长会！

【5】Students should make friends with their parents.

【解析】

试题本文介绍了学生花钱请人代替家长参加家长会的事情，老师对这一不良现象做了分析。

【1】根据第一段最后一句He wasn't even invited to a parents' meeting!可知“周这学期没有参加家长会”。本题考察反义疑问的答语，应依据事实作答。所以本题反义疑问句要做否定回答：No, he didn’t.

【2】根据第二段最后一句Zhou's son paid a man 25 yuan and asked him to be his “father” at a parents' meeting!可知“周的儿子付了25元钱雇人，在家长会上充当他的“父亲”。 所以答案为：He paid a man 25 yuan and asked him to be his “father” at the parents' meeting.

【3】根据第三段“I did badly in my exams and I was afraid my father would find out，” says the boy.“I didn't want him to be unhappy with me.”可知，周的儿子让人充当他家长参加家长会的原因在于：因为他考试考得很差，不想让父亲对他不满意。所以答案为：Because he did badly in his exams and didn't want his father to be unhappy with him。

【4】本句He wasn't even invited to a parents' meeting!为一般过去时态的被动语态。he代词，他，在句中作主语；even副词，甚至；wasn't invited被动结构，没有被邀请；a parents' meeting一场家长会。固定搭配invite sb. to …，邀请某人参加…。所以答案为：他甚至没有被邀请参加一场家长会！

【5】students 名词复数，学生，在句中作主语；should情态动词，应该；固定搭配make friends with，与…交朋友；their parents他们的父母。所以答案为：Students should make friends with their parents.

在做英汉互译的题目时，要分析句子结构，弄清句子的时态与语态，翻译时用词会更加准确；掌握反义疑问句作答的技巧——依据事实作答；熟记英语中常用的固定搭配。
