At two o’clock a bank robber stole in.  “This is a holdup,” the man said rudely.  He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George.  “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part-close to six thousand dollars.  The robber snatched them and turned to leave.
Then while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took hills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly.
The door was shut and the bank robber was gone.  George fainted.
As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money.  He had eight thousand dollars.  He was very happy.
The next morning, while the others were examining the bank’s records, George was called into Mr.  Burrow’s office and was introduced to Mr.  Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank.
“Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed, too.  I retired yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes.  Now, I have put the money back in your money-box-all six thousand. ”

試題分析：通過閱讀短文我們可以知道喬治在劫匪搶劫的同時，也把一部分錢塞進了自己的口袋。結果第二天假扮劫匪的銀行前總裁來還錢，并說明了自己假扮劫匪的目的是什么。讓喬治的小把戲漏了餡兒。
小題1:根據(jù)短文描述,可知這是一個非常有意義的故事,故選D.
聯(lián)系上文描述,可知卡拉瑟斯只是為讓每個人注意即將來臨的危險,故選D。
小題2:通過卡拉瑟斯先生的行為結合他的談話，可知他這么做的動機就是想提醒人們注意，就是小銀行也會遭到搶劫，故最佳答案為D，讓人們時刻準備著來臨的危險。
小題3:通過短文描述可以知道卡拉瑟斯先生歸還了6000美元，但是只要對比銀行的賬目就會發(fā)現(xiàn)還少了喬治拿走的那部分，因此對于此時的喬治來說，應該是害怕，故選A,喬治嚇得渾身冰涼.
點評：本文幾個小題和短文既緊密相連又不能直接找出答案，必須在弄懂全文后才能推理出來。所以答題前必須要認真閱讀短文，弄清題意，根據(jù)相關信息認真分析。

Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（職業(yè)的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回報）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
小題1:Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A．hardB．colourfulC．easyD．rich
小題2:From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
小題3:Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A．Because she thought they never said anything good.
B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
小題4:In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A．silentB．modestC．talkativeD．trouble-making
小題5:Which is the best title（標題）of the passage?
A．My Unlucky ChildhoodB．A Storyteller’s Childhood
C．My Kind GrandmotherD．More talking leads to success
