Question

求高手帮我做篇英语阅读、万分感谢！

Several years ago, while visiting a city with my mother and sister, my money was stolen. Deciding to cut our visit short, we stopped for dinner at a crowded restaurant on our way home. After we had been waiting for a table for nearly half an hour, the restaurant owner looked over at me and said, “smile! It can’t be that bad!”
　　 Just recently, I was leaving work early with a severe headache. I was in great pain and could hardly focus my eyes. The man on the elevator with me said, “ smile, It’s Friday, you should be happy.”
　　 Why is it important to these strangers that I smile? While I understand that they were probably trying to be nice or friendly, I don’t like the way they talked to me. These men knew nothing about me or my condition. For all they know, I could have been returning from the hospital after finding out I had only a few months to live.
　　 My feeling is, if someone wants to share their own happiness with others, or wants to see those around them smiling as they are, they should give others a reason to smile. If a stranger tries to make a pleasant conversation with me, or makes a humorous comment, my natural response is to smile or laugh. However, if someone says “smile”, any smile I might give them will be fake. Is that really what they want to see?
　　6. What did the writer decide to do when he found his money stolen?
　　A. Report it to the local police.
　　B. Stop their visit and return home.
　　C. Borrow some money from his mother.
　　D. Find a restaurant for dinner anyway
　　7. It can be inferred from the passage that while waiting for a table in the restaurant, the writer probably looked very ______.
　　A. hungry B. patient C. anxious D. calm
　　8. The writer feels that those strangers who tell him to smile ______.
　　A. have no right to ask him to do so
　　B. can’t understand his conditions
　　C. should ask why he is not happy
　　D. should have a better way to cheer people up
　　9. According to the writer, if you want someone to smile, you should _______.
　　A. smile to the person first
　　B. tell the person to smile directly
　　C. say something pleasant to make the person smile
　　D. give the person a reason why smile is important
　　10. In the last paragraph, the word “fake” probably means ______.
　　A. unreal B. weak C. careless D. enthusiasm

Answer 1

看过了，我选B、C、D、C、A。
6.B 解释：文中有Deciding to cut our visit short, we stopped for dinner at a crowded restaurant on our way home. 其中cut short意为“突然中断”，而后半句最后on our way home指明了作者一家在回家的路上。综上就是作者决定中断旅程并返回家。

7.C 解释：文中the restaurant owner looked over at me and said, “smile! It can’t be that bad!”
结合常理丢钱包后作者应该是焦急不安的，所以店老板会对他说笑一笑，事情没那么糟糕。其他三个选项应该容易排除。

8.D 解释：文中While I understand that they were probably trying to be nice or friendly, I don’t like the way they talked to me. 作者明白让他笑一笑的陌生人可能出于友好，但他并不喜欢他们的说话方式。并且最后一段也给了My feeling is...作者认为陌生人如果想让别人笑，他们应该制作出一些笑点。也就是以一种更好的方式，而不是作者所不喜欢的方式。
其中B的话，如果不对的话，大概因为can't understand并不等于原文里的know nothing about.我觉得陌生人未必不能理解作者的处境，只是不知道而已。所以我倾向于选D。

9.C 解释：结合第8题，作者认为陌生人如果想让别人笑，他们应该制作出一些笑点，文中they should give others a reason to smile. C就是其中一种方式，而D的意思是告诉人们笑为什么很重要，成了给别人讲道理了，我觉得听大道理我是笑不出来- -

10.A 解释：如果知道fake的意思很容易选A。如果不知道，结合文意，相对于natural的smile，不自然的笑也就是虚假虚伪的客套的笑了。

属于个人理解，可以参考。

Answer 3

几年前，当参观城市与我的母亲和姐姐，我的钱被偷了。决定缩短访问时间，我们停下来吃饭在拥挤的餐厅在我们回家的路上。之后，我们一直在等待一个表将近半个小时，饭店老板的看着我说，“微笑！不能说坏！“最近，我下班早有严重的头痛。我很痛苦，几乎集中了我的眼睛。这个人在电梯里跟我说，“微笑，今天是星期五，你应该是快乐的。”为什么是重要的这些陌生人我微笑？虽然我明白，他们可能想好，或友好，我不喜欢他跟我讲话的方式。这些人知道什么对我或我的条件。因为他们都知道，我已经从医院回来后发现，我只有几个月的生活。我的感觉是，如果有人想分享自己的快乐与别人，或想看到他们周围的人微笑着，他们是，他们应该给别人一个微笑的理由。如果一个陌生人试图使一个愉快的交谈与我，或是一个幽默的评论，我的自然反应是微笑或大笑。然而，如果有人说“微笑”，任何的微笑我会给他们是假的。这真的是他们想看的东西？

为什么第一题不选D哇？第三题不选B？第四题不选D？求解释，我阅读一直做不好- -

追答

Deciding to cut our visit short, we stopped for dinner at a crowded restaurant on our way home.
这句话说，他们决定缩短旅程，（然后）在回家的路上停下来在一个拥挤的饭馆里吃晚饭。---这正是6题的答案。
D 停下来吃饭，并不是问题‘当发现钱被偷了后，他们决定做什么？’的答案。你可能只看懂了文章的一部分，需要多读几遍，理解了文章的逻辑，就好了。

多做阅读，慢慢积累，做题就容易了
