Question

Harry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning. After breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in  the shops.

Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!

Yesterday Harry’s mother found his shoes were  worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”

试题分析：文章讲述了一个类似郑人买履的故事。Harry的父母望子成龙，只让他学习，其余事情一概大包大揽。但是当他父亲因事外出，而母亲劳累病倒的时候，Harry 甚至连车站都找不到，母亲给他鞋样让他照着去买鞋子，但是当他试好之后，却因为没带鞋样而打算放弃买鞋。

1.A细节理解题。从文章第二段The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before可知Harry的父亲在家常做家务活，所以A选项正确。

2.D细节理解题。根据文章第一段hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him.可知D选项正确。

3.B细节理解题。由文章第二段Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus可知没有父母的帮助他连车站都找不到，所以B选项正确。

4.B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Harry所做的和所说的he remembered something and took them off.和“I’m sorry. I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”可以推断B选项正确。
