Question

17．My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store．I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have．They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet．
One of the clerks，Charlie，was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day．I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair．His family needed money．It was obvious that he was having a difficult time．
We wanted to help him，so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan．We had his secretary contact him，asking him to come in for an eye exam for free．We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them．Although Charlie questioned what was going on，the doctor just to ld him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses．When we went in to pay the bill，the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about．I'm sure that upon hearing her story，ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many．

Answer 1

分析 文章講述了我是商店的老顧客同情關心店員的生活，幫助一名員工解決生活困難給他配了一副眼鏡的故事．

解答 21．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair可知他的眼鏡壞了又買不起新的，所以沒戴眼鏡，所以答案選C．
22．B 推理判斷題，根據(jù)句子 he couldn't afford a new pair．His family needed money．It was obvious that he was having a difficult time．可知他掙錢少，家里需要錢，他沒有足夠的錢養(yǎng)家，所以答案選B．
23．A 猜測詞義題．此處指醫(yī)生被我們的舉動所感動，于是沒有要檢查費，眼鏡要只收了半價可猜測waived是動詞"放棄"，所以答案選A．
24．B 主旨大意題．文章講述了我是商店的老顧客同情關心店員的生活，幫助一名員工解決生活困難給他配了一副眼鏡的故事，所以答案選B．
