Question

Mr. Knight was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.
Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.
Mr. Knight soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as a price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”
The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.
Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had actually(in fact) paid nine. There were three men. $9´3="$27." The assistant kept$2. $27+$2="$29." Where is the missing dollar?

【小題1】C 細節題。根據第二段1,2行Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would.說明最后這三個人一起住在一個小房間里，故C正確。
【小題2】D 細節題。根據第二段Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.說明每個人付了10美元，故Ｄ項正確。
【小題3】B 細節題。根據最后一段5,6,7行I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.說明這個人自己扣留了2美元。故B正確。
【小題4】D 推理題。實際上Mr. Knight得了25美元，那三個人每個人付了9美元一共是27美元，
the assistant扣了2美元，根本沒有所謂的多余的一美元，故D項正確。
