閱讀下文并回答問題。

A blind boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up (舉起) a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man walked by. He put a few coins into the hat.

He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.

Soon the hat started to fill up. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized (認出) his footsteps (腳步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” His words were “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.” Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign only told people to put some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they could enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it, because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述一個盲童在路邊乞討，一個過路的人在他的牌子上寫了幾句話，讓這個小男孩乞討到更多的錢。這個故事告訴我們：要富有創(chuàng)造性以及感謝我們所擁有的東西。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing“你認為第一個牌子和第二個牌子講的都是相同的事情嗎？”以及Of course both signs told people the boy was blind“當然，兩個標志牌都告訴人們這個小男孩是個盲人”可知，他們表達的含義相同，故填Yes。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Soon the hat started to fill up“不久，這個帽子里開始裝滿了錢”可知，故填The hat was full of money。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)A blind boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up (舉起) a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat“一個盲童坐在街上，腳邊放一個帽子。他舉起一個牌子，上面寫著：我是一個盲人，請幫助我。在他的帽子里僅僅有幾個硬幣”可知，小男孩坐在街上乞討，故填Because he begged for money。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知，之前小男孩手中的牌子僅僅寫著“我是一個盲人，請幫助我”，后來一個人過來，在他的牌子上寫著“今天是漂亮的一天，但是我看不到”，所以要有創(chuàng)意，要用不同的方式思考。再根據(jù)The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind“第二個牌子使人們想起他們很幸運，他們不瞎”，所以要感謝我們所擁有的事物。故填Be thankful for what we have. be creative和Think differently。
