Mr. White was the owner of a hotel in the town. One weekend all of the hotels were full because a large meeting was being held in the town. On Saturday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. White explained(解釋) that there were no rooms for them. The men didn't want to go because they had no place to stay.
Mr. White wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share(分享) a room. The three men said that they would.
Mr. White told them that the room would be $10, and then they went up to their room.
Mr. White soon began to feel sorry.“Thirty dollars is too much for the small room.”He called his assistant over and said,“Here is $5. Give it to the men in Room 418. They paid too much for the room.”
The assistant took the money. While he was on his way to Room 418, he thought,“How can three men divide(分) $5? I'll give each of them only $1, and I'll keep $2. They'll be happy to get something back. I'll make a little money and Mr. White will never know.”So, he returned $1 to each man.
Each man had first paid $10. After the assistant gave $1 back to him, each one had actually (實際) paid only $9. $9×3=$27. The assistant kept $2. $27＋$2=$29. Where is the missing dollar?
1．The meeting was held on ________.
[ ]
2．If there had been empty rooms in the hotel, ________.
[ ]
A．each of them would have had a room

3．We can know that ________.
[ ]
A．the money was lost
B．the assistant kept more than $2
C．there was a mistake in calculating(計算)
D．the missing dollar was nowhere to be found
4．Which of the following is not true?

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work, so a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.
"I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!"
"No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but their horses were in the way!"
【小題1】The military camp was built in the village to _______.
| A．stop the soldiers going to towns |
| B．stop the soldiers meeting their friends |
| C．train the new soldiers |
| D．make the young men live quietly |
| A．something was wrong with their buses |
| B．their horses died on the way back |
| C．it took them much time to run back |
