Passage 1
A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought his daughter should give one or two of her new books to a little neighbor boy named Robert.
Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. “After all, that leaves you with nine,” said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist and couldn't shut his big stupid mouth on the subject.
A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up “father” in the Oxford English Dictionary to feast his eyes on the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn't find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too. A-B, L-M, V-Z. He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes.
“A man came to the door this morning,” said his little daughter, “and he didn't know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine.”
How does the writer feel about taking picture books from a little girl?
从第二段第一句可知作者认为拿走小女孩的书就像拿走小宝宝的糖果， 这样的举动会伤害小女孩的情感， 所以选择 D。 选项 B： 对小孩不会有任何影响， 是父亲对女儿的想法， 而不是作者的看法。
In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________.
从第二段第一句的后半句可推断爸爸拿走了小女孩的两本书并把它们送给了罗伯特。 所以选择 D“爸爸做了他想做的事”即把书送给了罗伯特。
Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl's attitude toward her father?
A、 B、 D 均为小女孩送给陌生人书的理由， 只有 C 是送书的结果， 因此只有C 选项可以表明小女孩对待她爸爸的态度。
What does the writer think of the father?
A、 B、 D 选项所给的信息均未在原文体现。 只有 C 所给信息“作为儿童心理学家， 他并不是很理解他女儿的心理。 ”与原文符合。
This short story tells us that ________.
此题综合全文可得出 B“己所不欲， 勿施于人”正确。 其它选项意思分别为A“失败是成功之母”； C“先人后己”； D“万事开头难”。
