Question

20．One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk．He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase．I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store．
On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties．His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful，bright smile covered his face．I gave in immediately．The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding．
"Beautiful day，isn't it？"I remarked，passing．Then I turned back．"I really owe you a debt of thanks，"I said softly．
His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered，"Sir，but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something？"In that moment I felt transformed．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stand ten feet tall．
"Yes，"my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，"tell him I said，‘Thank you!'"
"Thank you？"The woman seemed slightly puzzled．
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．"Just tell him that，"I insisted．"He'll understand．I am sure!"
Oh，what a smile can do!Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on，I became smile-conscious，and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere，with everybody．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了不同的表情給作者帶來的不一樣的感受．通過文中的故事，作者告訴我們要微笑著面對一切，因為微笑有巨大的力量．

解答 56．B．細節理解題．根據文章第一段．He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intendedpurchase．可知服務員對他表現并不熱情；故選B．
57．A．細節理解題．根據第二段．Igave in immediately．The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding．可知，作者看到這個年輕人的笑臉時，自己心里的不快和郁悶也消逝了，他也感到高興起來了，臉上露出了笑臉；故選A．
58．C．細節理解題．根據文章最后一段：Ishall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．作者很感激那位再未謀面的人，作者感激他，那天給自己上了一堂珍貴的課，使作者變成了一個在潛意識里愛笑，對人生充滿樂觀的人；故選C．
59．D．最推理判斷題．根據文章最后一段"From that day on，I became smile-conscious，and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere，with everybody"，作者體會到了笑的威力之大，決定以后也會對別人多微笑．故選D．

點評 考察學生的細節理解和推理判斷能力，做細節理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
