Question

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”

“If you must know, I make ＄20 each hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me ＄10?”

The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, the go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish (自私)！”

The little boy went to his room no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed (平靜) down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.

“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on your just now.” said the man, “Here’s ＄10.”

“Oh, thank you Daddy！” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.

“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.

“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have ＄20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. ”

【解析】【主旨大意】小男孩想向父親借錢，來買回爸爸一小時的時間來讓爸爸明天早回家與他一起共進晚餐。我們是不是也因為工作或別的原因而很少與孩子相處呢？[來源:ZXXK]

1.細節理解題 由 ““If you must know, I make ＄20 each hour.””

2.推理題 由下文爸爸的問話“If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, the go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish” “如果你想要錢買玩具或無用的東西，你直接去房間去考慮考慮你為什么這么自私” 可知爸爸對孩子要錢很生氣。

3.由If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, the go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish” “如果你想要錢買玩具或無用的東西，你直接去房間去考慮考慮你為什么這么自私”，可知爸爸意為孩子要錢想買玩具或無用的東西

4.細節理解題 由 文章最后一段可知，孩子要錢想買的是爸爸的一小時的時間，來與他一起共進晚餐。

5.整體理解題  有文章大意可知，由于工作忙， 父親經常很少與孩子待在一塊兒，孩子希望買回爸爸的一小時時間來陪陪他。
