阅读下文并回答问题。

A blind boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up (举起) a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man walked by. He put a few coins into the hat.

He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.

Soon the hat started to fill up. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized (认出) his footsteps (脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” His words were “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.” Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign only told people to put some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they could enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it, because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述一个盲童在路边乞讨，一个过路的人在他的牌子上写了几句话，让这个小男孩乞讨到更多的钱。这个故事告诉我们：要富有创造性以及感谢我们所拥有的东西。

【1】细节理解题。根据Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing“你认为第一个牌子和第二个牌子讲的都是相同的事情吗？”以及Of course both signs told people the boy was blind“当然，两个标志牌都告诉人们这个小男孩是个盲人”可知，他们表达的含义相同，故填Yes。

【2】细节理解题。根据Soon the hat started to fill up“不久，这个帽子里开始装满了钱”可知，故填The hat was full of money。

【3】细节理解题。根据A blind boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up (举起) a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat“一个盲童坐在街上，脚边放一个帽子。他举起一个牌子，上面写着：我是一个盲人，请帮助我。在他的帽子里仅仅有几个硬币”可知，小男孩坐在街上乞讨，故填Because he begged for money。

【4】推理判断题。根据全文可知，之前小男孩手中的牌子仅仅写着“我是一个盲人，请帮助我”，后来一个人过来，在他的牌子上写着“今天是漂亮的一天，但是我看不到”，所以要有创意，要用不同的方式思考。再根据The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind“第二个牌子使人们想起他们很幸运，他们不瞎”，所以要感谢我们所拥有的事物。故填Be thankful for what we have. be creative和Think differently。
