一百元的價(jià)值

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.

Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.

“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.

“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (無論) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (價(jià)值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.

You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

【答案及解析】

1.

選C。根據(jù)第4段中的No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value可知答案。

2.

選D。根據(jù)第5段中的you are always valuable to those people who love you可知答案。

3.

選D。根據(jù)第5段中的Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE可知答案。

4.

選A。老師第一次問Who would like this ¥100 bill? 時(shí)，同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：The students began to put up their hands at once.老師第二次問Who wants it now? 時(shí)， 同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：The hands went back into the air. 老師第三次問：Who still wants it? 時(shí)，同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)是：Hands went back into the air. 很顯然，Hands went back into the air 中的back有類似again的含義，故選A。

5.

選D。通讀全文可以看出，老師利用這張百元大鈔作“教具”，其目的是想告訴同學(xué)們，無論你怎樣折騰這張百元大鈔，它的價(jià)值都不會(huì)因此而減少。所以答案選D最佳。
