temperature,which turns out to be one hundred and two degrees.He is given medicine and is told that there is nothing to worry about unless the fever goes over one hundred and four degrees.The boy stays in bed,but does not pay any attention to his surrounding,he does not listen to the story his father reads to him.He only stares at the foot of the bed,looking very strangely.,14,His father goes out to hunt for a while and tells the boy to sleep,but when he returns from hunting he is informed that the boy would not let anyone enter the room because he is afraid that they will get what he himself got.,15,The father goes to his son and finds him in the same position as he left him.Again he takes his temperature and it is still one hundred and two,nothing to worry about.So he tells his son to take it easy.The son agrees but suddenly asks the question how long it will take until he will die.The father is shocked and explains to the son that people never die from a fever of one hundred and two.,16,After a while the son tells the father that he heard from a boy in France that people will die when they get a fever over 44 and he himself has one hundred and two.The father explains to him that there is a difference between the thermometers in America and Europe,which is the same with kilometers and miles.The boy relaxes and the next day he begins to complain about little things that are of no importance.,17,Summary on the text：The story is about an incident that happens between a father and his son.The small boys misunderstanding of the difference in measuring

a very sick and,miserable,boy of nine years.When I put my hand on his forehead I know he had a fever.“You,go up to bed,”I said,“youre sick.”“Im all right,”he said.When the doctor came he,took the boys temperature,.“,What is it,?”I asked him.,1.take ones temperature 量体温,21,“One hundred and two.”Downstairs,the doctor left three different medicines in different colored,capsules,with,instructions for

about,influenza,and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not,go above,one hundred and four degrees.This was a light,epidemic,(流行性的）of flu and there was no danger if you

on the ice-coated mounds（土堆）of brush several times before they would flush（惊起飞走）.Coming out while you were poised unsteadily on the icy,springy（有弹力的）brush they made difficult shooting and I killed two,missed,five,and started back pleased to have found a covey close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day.,27,At the house they said the boy had,refused to,let anyone come into the room.“You cant come in,”he said;“You mustnt get what I have.”I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him,white-faced,but,with,the tops of his cheeks,flushed,by the fever,star,ing,still,as he had stared,at the foot of the bed.,1.with+n+表伴随,He likes sleeping with his eyes open.,He is standing there with his arms crossed,28,I took his temperature.“,Something

of,death.7.The boy refused to let anyone come into the room because he complained that they did not understand his terrible tension inside.8.What led the boy to think that he was going to die was that he mistook the Fahrenheit scale for the Celsius one.,(T),(F),(T),35,9.The father made an,analogy,between the difference of two thermometers and that of miles and kilometers.10.The next day the boy cried easily at trifling matters.The reason for this is probably that as a spoilt boy,he often complained about unimportant things.,(F),(T),36,男孩的行为,(,the boys action,),:,1.Why did the boy shut the
