A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again.“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him ing back, but he was not ing fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

(答案→)B 
解析:【小题1】细节题:选B。根据第2段中的 Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised.可知答案为B。男孩惊讶的是Paul告诉他汽车的事。
【小题2】细节题:选A。The urchin 指着 Paul 的车对他的弟弟说:“And someday I’m going to give you one just like it…”所以 the urchin 希望也能给他弟弟一辆车。
【小题3】推理题:选D。The urchin 要 Paul 把车停在他家门前后,立即扶着他残疾的弟弟出来,让他看看Paul的车,然后告诉弟弟他想为他做的事,所以他只是想告诉他弟弟他的愿望。
【小题4】推理题:选D 。The urchin 在坐过 Paul 的车后没有忘记弟弟,并且承诺也要给弟弟买一辆车,可见他对弟弟有着一份深深的爱。答案选D,而A、B、C三项与文章不符。
