Question

Mr. Smith has two sons. One is seven years old, and the other is five. One morning during the

holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for

sweets.

“Sweets are bad for your teeth,” Mr. Smith said. “Take these two oranges instead, and give one to your elder brother,” One of the oranges is quite a lot bigger than the other one ,and as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.

When the other boy saw that his brother had a much larger orange than his own ,he said to

him, “It’s selfish（自私的）to take the bigger one for yourself. If father had given me the oranges,

I’d have given you the bigger one.”

“I know you would,” answered his brother.” That’s why I took it.”

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是人们面对面交流时的一些基本规则也适用于因特网上人们之间的交流，尊重对方，友好对待每一个聊天者是很重要的。

1.twins双胞胎（同年同月同日出生），而史密斯先生有两个儿子，一个七岁，一个五岁，不可能是双胞胎。由此可看出，本题错误，故填F。

2.根据文中第一段第三句One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets.可知他正在洗车子。过去某个时候正在发生的动作用过去进行时，即was/were doing sth，因为文中已给出系动词was，故填cleaning the car。

3. younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets.可知小儿子是在要钱买糖吃，故填（He asked for）some money for sweets.。

4.根据文中he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.可知弟弟拿了个大的，哥哥拿了个小的。故填The young brother.。

5.it is +adj + to do sth for sb 对某人来说，做某事是很自私的。
