Question

I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.

I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.

One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.

I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.

The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr. Young would give me an E, just like he always did.

I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”

He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.

“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.

The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B+; Mechanical Drawing, C-; English, D-; History, C-; Gym, B+; Art, C; Math, D-.

That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了作者的數學老師因為缺少一根手指而被孩子們取笑，所以他很理解作者的數學成績對他的影響，最后他給了對數學頭腦愚笨的作者D-的成績，那次數學分數是作者一生中獲得的分數中最喜愛的。

1. 推理判斷題。根據I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn. 作者不擅長數學和英語。無論自己多么努力，就是不理解為什么別的同學那么容易就聽懂了。所以作者對有些科目頭腦反應遲鈍。選D。

2.細節(jié)理解題。I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. 我去找老師告訴他，如果自己數學再考E孤兒院就會把我送到大監(jiān)獄里。得知作者住在孤兒院。選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據原文老師原本對作者想要數學得及格的請求無能為力，但他很理解作者的數學成績對他的影響，所以他給了作者D-的成績。老師給了這個本來還是數學不及格的學生判分及格。選D。

4.推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段得知總算有人理解作者為什么學不好某些科目。所以作者感激老師一直記著老師。選C。
