Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，按要求完成下列各题。

A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy. He found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

The boy asked, “Daddy, how much do you make every hour” The father was angry at his son’s question. When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked him for $10. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn’t answer his son.

The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour, the man calmed himself down(使……平静)and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.

“Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” the man went into his son’s room and said.

“Here’s the $10 you asked for.”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” The little boy said. Then he reached under his pillow(枕头)，

pulled out some crumpled (压皱的)money and said, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow, 75.我很想和你共进晚餐。”

【解析】

一个男人整体忙于工作而没有时间陪孩子，有一天他下班回家，他的儿子想给他要钱买他一个小时的时间，让爸爸跟他共进晚餐。

【1】根据短文中When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked him for $10. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn’t answer his son可知，这个父亲以为孩子要钱是为了买玩具，他很生气，没有给孩子钱。注意这个反意疑问句的回答，No, he didn’t.意为“是的，他没给”。

【2】根据短文第一段中He found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door可知，这个人的儿子5岁了。故答案为.He’s five years old . /5 years old .

【3】根据短文第二段中The boy asked, “Daddy, how much do you make every hour” The father was angry at his son’s question. When he said $20 an hour可知，这个父亲一小时能挣20美元。故答案为$20 an hour./ $20

【4】根据短文的最后“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?可知，小男孩跟爸爸要钱是为了买爸爸一个小时的时间。故答案为.An hour of his father’s time.

【5】want to do sth.想要做某事；have dinner/super 吃晚餐；with和…一起。really是一个副词，修饰谓语动词，意为“真的”。故答案为.I really want to have dinner/supper with you.
