“He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was kind.

“He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully; showing that he was polite.

“He lifted up the book which I had laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.

“And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest (謙遜的 ) .

“When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了一個男孩兒在求職過程中脫穎而出，這是因為他有著良好的行為習慣和道德品質(zhì)。文章通過這個故事告訴我們，優(yōu)秀的行為習慣對一個人是非常重要的。

【1】根據(jù)第六段“He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully; showing that he was polite”可知，這位先生知道男孩有禮貌的原因是，當男孩進辦公室的時候摘下了自己的帽子。故答案為He took off his cap when he came in.

【2】根據(jù)第七段“He lifted up the book which I had laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful”可知，這位先生把書放在地板上的原因是他想測試前來求職的人們。故答案為Because he wanted to test the people who asked for the job.

【3】根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，這位先生選擇男孩的原因一共有六條，分別是orderly、kind、polite、careful、modest以及注重細節(jié)。故答案為Six。

【4】“over”超過，超出。根據(jù)文章最后一段“is worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring”可知，這句話中的“more than”也是“多于，超出”的意思。故答案為More than。

【5】根據(jù)文章大意可知，本文主要講述了一個男孩通過自己良好的行為習慣以及道德品質(zhì)贏得了青睞，故文章告訴我們良好的行為習慣對一個人來說是很重要的。故答案為Good behaviors (行為) and good habits are important for a person.(答案不唯一)
