Question

Henry was a carpenter of our village. Once I asked him to make a table for my family. A week later, Henry sent us the table and the bill as well.
My wife said to me, "It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see the bill." I said.
Henry was drinking a glass of water. He laughed and gave me a piece of paper. It said,
Bill
One dining table                 June 10, 2011
Cost of wood                       17.00
Paint                               1.50
Work, 8 hours (1 an hour)             8.00
Total(總計)                         36.50
When I was looking at the bill, Henry said," It's a fine day, isn't it? Quite sunny."
"Yes," I said. "I'm glad it is only the 10th of June."
"Me too, " said Henry." You wait. It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month."
"Yes, hotter and more expensive. The table will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won't they, Henry? " I said, "If it isn't too much trouble, please add it up again. You can forget the date."
"OK, man. You are such a guy." Henry said with a smile in his two blue eyes, and he left with the money he should get.

試題分析：文章介紹了一個有趣的故事，一個木匠算錯了費用。
1.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)Cost of wood說明這個桌子是由木材制成的，故A正確。
2.C 計算題。根據(jù)　One dining table                 June 10, 2011
　　Cost of wood                        17.00
　　Paint                               1.50
　　Work, 8 hours (1 an hour)             8.00
　　Total(總計)                         36.50
可知真正的價格是26,5，他錯把日期也算進去了，故C正確。
3.A 推理題。根據(jù)Yes," I said. "I'm glad it is only the 10th of June."
　　"Me too, " said Henry." You wait. It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month."
說明作者已經(jīng)看清楚他所犯的錯誤了，他也意識到了，故A正確。
4.A 計算題。根據(jù)61題解析可知真正的價格是26.5，他錯吧10號的日期也加了上去。故A正確。
