What would you do if you were unemployed, homeless and found a large sum of money?
Pauline Nichter, 46, and her husband, Robert, 48, had both lost their jobs and were living in a hotel with their 11yearold son, Tom. They were in danger of losing their car for failure to make payments on it.
One day, Pauline found a wallet containing a credit card, an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2,394 in cash at a shopping center in the Los Angeles suburb of Buena Park.
“For a second I thought about taking the money,” she said. “But only for a second. It wasn't our money and we didn't want to set a bad example to our son.” She delivered the wallet and its contents to the nearest police station. Police admitted that they were surprised when the Nichters walked into the police station with the wallet and the money.
Word of her honesty quickly got out, and a grateful community responded in kind. The Nichters received more than ten job offers and an apartment rentfree for six months. An anonymous (匿名的) donor brought the car payments up to date. Others gave cash. One elderly couple walked into the police station where Pauline had turned in the wallet and asked how much money had been in it. When they were told that amount, the man said, “Then that's what they deserve,” and wrote out a check for $2,400.
At a news conference the tearful Pauline said, “Never in a million years would I have thought this would happen to us. What we have received is far more than what was in the wallet.”
1.How did the persons in the community react to this event?
A. Someone gave them a new house.
B. Someone sent a new car to them.
C. Someone gave them $2,400 in cash.
D. Some people offered them some job opportunities.
答案与解析 D 由文章第五段可知其余三项表述都不正确。
2.“An anonymous donor brought the car payments up to date” means that “someone ________ ”.
A. paid the rest of the payments for their car
B. brought the car payments to them
C. brought them an uptodate car
D. paid all the money for their car
答案与解析 A 对这句话理解的关键是对“brought ... up to date”这个短语的理解。up to date本意为“直至既定日期”,由此可推断出该捐赠者将分期付款的汽车款付完了。
3.The underlined word “deserve” mostly probably means “ ________ ”.
A. pick up B. fail to see
C. fail to hear D. be worthy of
答案与解析 D 该句中they指的是the Nichters,而非这对老夫妇。
4.The best title of the passage would be ________.
A. Honesty Is Money
B. Honesty Rewarded
C. Turning in the Wallet to Be Praised
D. Turning in the Wallet to Be Paid
答案与解析 B 最终一段仆人公的话说明白文章的主题,“付出”和“回报”是文章的主题。
