Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. “Oh，no!”he thought to himself.“Another day at that office；a boss who shouts at me all the time.”
As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds.”
Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11：30 Frank arrived at work.“Please explain why you're so late，”his boss said.“Go and jump in the lake,” replied Frank. “I've just come into a little money so this is goodbye.Find yourself someone else to shout at.”
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men，neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr Smithson,” one of them said，“We're from Bigwoods Football Pools. I'm afraid there’s been a terrible mistake……”
小題1:What do we know about Frank? ____________________________________.

A．good luck is always against a lazy fellow.
B．don’t count your chickens before they are hatched(孵化)

D．the chances of getting rich quickly always lie in the Football Pools

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:C
小題5:B

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Frank在公司經(jīng)常受老板的氣，但是有一天他受到一封信說他中了50萬的獎，他很高興，終于不會再受老板的氣了。當(dāng)老板再次批評他的時候，他毅然決然的辭職了。但是當(dāng)天晚上，兩個人來到Frank的家告訴他，他們犯了一個錯誤......
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章中第一段的這句話a boss who shouts at me all the time.”可知，F(xiàn)rank的老板總是對他大聲喊叫，所以我們可以推測出Frank和老板的關(guān)系不是很好。故選D。
小題2:句意猜測題。根據(jù)文意可知，因為Frank上班遲到了，所以遭到了老板的批評，但是這時的Frank以為自己中了大獎，所以不把老板當(dāng)回事了，所以這里的jump in the lake意為去跳到湖里去吧，即去死吧。故選A。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段，當(dāng)Frank聽到敲門聲時，他rush to the door,他沖到了門那，可見他非常的興奮，加上他意為自己中了大獎，所以他應(yīng)該是以為是他的朋友們來祝賀他來了。故選D。A意為有人來道歉；B意為他的同事來安慰他；C意為他的鄰居來詢問足球彩票的事。這些選項都不符合文意。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，F(xiàn)rank以為自己中了50萬的大獎，所以當(dāng)Bigwoods Football Pools的人來到家里，并且說他們犯了一個錯誤的時候，F(xiàn)rank應(yīng)該是感到很緊張，他害怕是自己中獎的事有什么出錯的地方。故選C。因為這里Bigwoods Football Pools的人還沒有說是什么事情，故不應(yīng)該是disappointed 失望或worried 擔(dān)心；curious 好奇的。不符合文意。
小題5:主旨大意題。這篇文章講了Frank以為自己中了大獎，就跟自己的老板鬧掰了，但是結(jié)果他中獎的事可能出了問題。所以通過這樣一個故事作者想告訴我們在事情還沒有完全定下來之前，不要給自己不留后路，因為一切可能都還有變化。故B選項最符合這個意思。

My mum put all the apples on the table and asked us, “Which do you like?” I was about to say “the biggest one” while my brother took one step ahead and said what I wanted to say. My mum said angrily, “A good child should give the best to others instead of being self-centered.” I learnt a quick lesson and said, “Mum, give me the smallest one.
