Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears.

試題分析：本文就是我們漢語成語“掩耳盜鈴”的故事。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章中的When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door,可判斷選B。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文章中的When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door以及在文章的最后，這位小偷還在疑惑，說明他認(rèn)為捂住自己的耳朵，別人就聽不見鈴聲了，所以是安全的。故選A。
小題3:推理判斷題。鄰居聽到鈴聲“不一般”，故認(rèn)為發(fā)生了奇怪的事情。故選C。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)鄰居說的那句話，鄰居打小偷是為了懲罰他。判斷選B，。
小題5:綜合判斷題。根據(jù)文章的最后一句話說明A是錯(cuò)誤的；掩耳盜鈴的小偷不知道鄰居為什么會(huì)出來判斷B是錯(cuò)誤的；小偷捂上自己的耳朵就認(rèn)為別人聽不到，才大膽去偷鈴，C與文章相符。

This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.
So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod（鋼棒） into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.
The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.
Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.
“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!”
As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
