Question

A teacher let her class play a game. The teacher told each child to bring a bag with some potatoes. Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes in his/her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated. Some children had two potatoes, some had three and others had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they went for a week. After a week, the teacher asked, ”How did you feel?” The children started complaining about the unpleasant smell coming from the rotten potatoes when they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes everywhere they went.
Then the teacher said,” This is the same when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?”

試題分析：本文敘述了一位老師讓學生用土豆來代替所憎恨的人，憎恨幾個人就在書包了帶幾個土豆，走到哪帶到哪。一周后，學生抱怨腐爛的土豆氣味。由此，老師教育學生腐爛的土豆氣味，我們一周都忍受不了，那一輩子心里裝著憎恨的氣味會是什么樣？
小題1:推理判斷題。根據第一段的Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes in his/her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated.可知孩子書包里土豆的數量是孩子討厭的人數，因此包里有兩個土豆，說明他有兩個憎恨的人。故選A。
小題2:細節理解題。根據第一段的The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they went for a week.可知教師要求學生走到哪，裝有土豆的書包就帶到哪。故選B。
小題3:詞義猜測題。根據第一段的the unpleasant smell可知土豆的味道不好聞，因此此處是指土豆腐爛了。故選D。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據最后一段的If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?”可知腐爛的土豆氣味，我們一周都忍受不了，那一輩子心里裝著憎恨的氣味會是什么樣？也就是說一輩子憎恨別人是不會讓人快樂的。故選B。
小題5:標題歸納題。根據最后一段的The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.可知憎恨的氣味污染著你的內心，讓你不快樂，因此寬恕了別人也就寬恕了自己。故選D。
