Question

There was a doctor in our city who was famous for his skills. Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.

The child’s mother was very much thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”

“Fifty pounds”, he answered.

The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.

【解析】

試題分析: 講述了一位醫術高超的醫生，因為將一個重病的小孩子治愈并康復，所以小孩子的母親來感謝醫生。這位母親想要以手工制作的錢包報答醫生，可是醫生拒絕接受禮物，只需要付給他應得的醫藥費即可。

1.】細節理解題。從第一段Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again小孩子是患了重病的，.多虧了他的醫術和治療，這位小患者康復了，而且很快就能再次站起來，跑了。可知選B。

2. feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.我覺得單靠錢是不能報答你的，所以我親手做了這個小錢包，以示感謝，希望你會收下它。故選C。

3. lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. 當醫生拒絕錢包，讓女士付錢時，她是從自己做的錢包里取出來的，可見當時這位女士是打算多送點錢給醫生，所以以送錢包做個幌子而已，這可以看出女士不是吝嗇的，她是很大方的。由此女士應該是會認為這個醫生很正直，對其有尊敬之意。故可以排除掉B,C,D項。故選A。
