Early in Thanksgiving week,the boys and girls arrived at the class holding their hard-earned money. And they couldn't wait to go shopping.In the supermarket, we bought a turkey and some other items. Then someone saw a “necessity”. “Flowers!” Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I made a pitch (说教)for practicality. It was more sensible to use any extra money to buy staples (主食)that could be made into meals. After all, I pronounced,“You can't eat flowers.” “But Mrs. Sherlock,” came the voice,“we want flowers.” Defeated, I helped them choose a pot of beautiful chrysanthemums(菊花)and put the plant into the cart. Soon we were on the way to the house of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. When we arrived, a woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us. As each box was carried in, the old woman oohed and aahed—much to her visitors' pleasure. When Amy put the chrysanthemums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it had been a bag of flour, I thought. When we were back in our car, we could see the kitchen window. The woman walked across the room, past the turkey, past other items,straight to the chrysanthemums and put her face in their petals. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. In that one brief moment, the children had seen the power they possessed to make another person's life better. And I had seen that sometimes a person needs a pot of purple flowers on a dark November day. 1.What's the author's purpose in asking the students to earn money? A.To teach them to help with housework. B.To show that “no pain, no gain”. C.To give them a moral lesson on devotion. D.To better their Thanksgiving dinner at school. 2.What's the author's reason for not buying flowers at first? A.They could only be made into meals. B.They were not as practical as staples. C.They couldn't be given to others as gifts. D.They were too expensive for students. 3.Why did the woman seem surprised at the sight of the chrysanthemums? A.She wished it had been a bag of flour. B.She wanted to show her hospitality. C.She pretended that they were her favorite. D.She hadn't expected to receive flowers. 4.What did the author think of the whole activity? A.Carefully designed. B.Completely predictable. C.Vaguely aimed. D.Mentally fruitful. 答案 1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的I wanted the children to know that it's more blessed to give than to receive.可知,老师想让学生们明白给予比接受更幸福。 2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,老师就“实用性”进行劝服,认为用钱买可以做饭的主食更重要,毕竟花儿只能看不能吃,没有主食实用。 3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的When Amy put the chrysanthemums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised.可知,当Amy把菊花放到(厨房)操作台时,那位老人感到惊讶,作者认为老人希望那盆花是一袋面粉。而根据下文对老人闻花的描述可知,她非常喜欢这盆菊花,因此推出老人感到惊讶是因为她没有料到学生会送花给她。 4.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为这次活动让学生和自己都明白了一些道理,也就是说,他们都从精神上收获很多。
