Question

A young man went to a town and worked there. He did not have a wife and a servant did the work in his house.
The young man liked laughing a lot. He nailed the servant’s shoes to the floor on Monday, and then laughed, because he put his feet in them and fell down.
The servant was not angry, but smiled. Then the young man put brushes in his bed on Tuesday. The servant got into bed and hit the brushes with his feet. He was afraid. The young man laughed loudly again. Again the servant was not angry, but smiled.
Then on Wednesday the young man said to his servant, “You’re a nice, kind man. I am not going to be unkind to you again.”
The servant smiled and said, “And I’m not going to put any more mud from the street in your coffee.”

1.A 細(xì)節(jié)題從文章第一段的：a young man went to a town and worked there.說是去工作的，選B。
2.C 推理題：從第二段的句子：The young man liked laughing a lot.說明他喜歡笑。推測和仆人開玩笑是為了好玩。
3.C推理題，從常理看，仆人不敢和主人生氣是怕被解雇，而且其它選項(xiàng)明顯不對(duì)。
4.D細(xì)節(jié)題：從最后一段的： And I’m not going to put any more mud from the street in your coffee.可以得出答案。
5.A細(xì)節(jié)題：從倒數(shù)第二段年輕人的話里：You’re a nice, kind man. I am not going to be unkind to you again.可知是因?yàn)槠腿说挠押眯袨閷?dǎo)致的。
