Question

One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.

Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage!”

“What’s courage?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.

“Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.

“Mum, do you have courage?”

“Certainly.”

The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”

After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.

Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”

In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should defeat(戰(zhàn)勝) is nobody but ourselves.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中第一段She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared她向外看了看又走回來了，因?yàn)樗�害怕黑。所以選C。

2.判斷推理題。Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.然后她攥緊拳頭，毫不害怕地走出臥室走向洗手間。從而判斷她是一個(gè)人去的，故選A。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中描述the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away擔(dān)心“勇氣”會(huì)跑掉，小女孩緊張的握著拳頭，故選B。

4.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中最后一段In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind.事實(shí)上，大多數(shù)時(shí)候，我們害怕的不是其他東西而是我們內(nèi)心的恐懼。所以選C，內(nèi)心的恐懼才是真正的問題。
