Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，按要求完成下列各題。

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……平靜)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(枕頭)，

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

【解析】

一個男人整體忙于工作而沒有時間陪孩子，有一天他下班回家，他的兒子想給他要錢買他一個小時的時間，讓爸爸跟他共進晚餐。

【1】根據(jù)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，這個父親以為孩子要錢是為了買玩具，他很生氣，沒有給孩子錢。注意這個反意疑問句的回答，No, he didn’t.意為“是的，他沒給”。

【2】根據(jù)短文第一段中He found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door可知，這個人的兒子5歲了。故答案為.He’s five years old . /5 years old .

【3】根據(jù)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，這個父親一小時能掙20美元。故答案為$20 an hour./ $20

【4】根據(jù)短文的最后“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?可知，小男孩跟爸爸要錢是為了買爸爸一個小時的時間。故答案為.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是一個副詞，修飾謂語動詞，意為“真的”。故答案為.I really want to have dinner/supper with you.
