这篇短文给我们讲述了一个故事，一个贫穷家庭里的男孩想要一个鼓，但是她的妈妈没有钱给他买，只能给了他一块木头玩。但几经周折男孩用他所拥有的东西去帮助别人，最后也获得了他想要的东西—鼓。

【1】上句话说的是这个女人问自己的儿子想要什么，下句话说的是她去了市场，但是没有钱买鼓。由上下句话我们可以知道她的儿子想要一个鼓。故应选E。意为：这个孩子说他想要一个鼓。

【2】根据这一段的内容she found a piece of wood and gave it to her son to play with…The old woman was trying to start a fire to cook some food, but she didn't have any wood.可知，这个男孩遇到了一个老太太，她想生火，但是没有木头；下文就提到老太太把自己做的面包给了这个男孩。由此我们可以推测，男孩是把他的木头给了老太太，故应选D。意为：听到这个，这个男孩把他的木头给了她。

【3】根据下文The boy gave the woman the piece of bread, and she gave him a pot.可知，壶匠妻子的孩子在哭，这个男孩就把自己的面包给了她，所以我们可以猜测她的儿子是饿了，没有吃的才哭。由此可知应选C。意为：这个女人说她没有食物给他饥饿的孩子。

【4】根据这一段的内容可知，这个人的衣服和钱都被抢了。下文提到The man was so happy, he gave the boy his horse.这个人很高兴，还把自己的马给了这个男孩，由此可推测，这个男孩是把自己的衣服给了那个人，故应选B，意为：这个男孩把他的新衬衫给了那个男人。

【5】根据下文There were musicians, the bridegroom(新郎), and his family. Everyone looked sad. The bridegroom's father said, “We are waiting for a horse. If it doesn’t come soon, we will be late for the wedding.可知，这里提到了一个婚礼，因此应选A，意为：最后在他回家的路上，他遇到了一大群人要去参加一个婚礼。
