Question

18．Two children stood outside the door with old coats．"Any old papers，lady？"asked one of them．
 I was busy．I wanted to say no，but I saw that their shoes had holes in them and they were wet．"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot tea．"They came in，saying nothing．Their shoes left prints on the floor．
    I gave them tea and bread to protect （防止） them from the cold outside．Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again．
    The silence in the living room surprised me．I looked in．
    The girl held the empty cup in her hands，looking at it．The boy asked me in a low voice，"Lady，are you rich？"
    Am I rich？Oh，no!I looked at the old things in my room．
    The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟） carefully and said，"Your cups match （相配） your saucers．"

Answer 1

分析 這篇短文講的是作者招待了兩個貧窮的孩子，通過這次經(jīng)歷他們使作者意識到什么是真正的富有，精神的富有要比物質(zhì)富有重要得多．
兩個穿著舊大衣的孩子站在門外，其中一個問（我），"你有一些舊報紙嗎？"
我很忙，我想說"不"，但是我看見他們的鞋子上有洞并且他們的鞋子濕了，"進(jìn)來，我給你們倒杯熱茶．"他們進(jìn)來，什么也沒說．他們的鞋子在地板上留下了印記．
我給他們茶和面包，來讓他們抵御外面的寒冷．然后我回到廚房，又開始做家務(wù)．
客廳里的寂靜使我感到驚訝，我（往里面）看了看．
女孩手里拿著空杯子，看著它．男孩低聲問我："女士，你是富有的嗎？
我富有嗎？不，我看著我房間的舊東西．
女孩把自己的杯子小心地放回盤子里，說："您的杯子和碟子相匹配．"
然后，他們頂著烈風(fēng)，拿著舊報紙離開了．他們沒有說："謝謝"．他們不需要說．他們已經(jīng)做的比這些還要多．他們提醒我，我有那么多需要感謝的．藍(lán)色的杯子和碟子很簡單，但是它們相匹配．在我面前的土豆和肉，我有自己的棲身之處，有一份固定工作的丈夫等，這些也是相匹配的．
我把椅子從火爐旁搬回并且打掃了客廳．留在地板上的他們的小腳印仍然是濕的，我讓它們（腳印）保留著，我想讓它們在那兒提醒我有多么富有．
