Question

One evening, I found an electric (电动的) model car on my 6-year-old son’s desk. We hadn’t bought one like that for him. At dinner, I asked my son about it.

“I exchanged my paper model plane from a little girl in the neighborhood.” he said.

We were surprised. The paper model plane really cost nothing. But the electric model car might cost 15 dollars at least. We thought our son might tell a lie. But we said nothing.

The next day, I took my son to the little girl’s home with the electric model car. I was going to make sure whether my son told us a lie, and to return the model car to the girl.

But the little girl’s mother told me that it was true.

“The electric model car belongs to my daughter. It is up to her. I respect her decision.” She said. “Since your son likes the electric model car, it belongs to him.”

Then I took the girl with us to a toy store. I bought an electric model plane to her. And I wanted the girl to understand whether it was worth exchanging an electric model car for a paper plane.

Since then, they have been good friends all their lives.

Education is really an art. It was lucky that we didn’t scold (训斥) our son before we learned about the fact.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：作者的儿子用自己的纸飞机模型从一位小女孩那里换取了一辆模型电动小汽车，起初作者感到怀疑，后来从小女孩的妈妈那里知道这是真的，那位妈妈也尊重自己女儿的选择。从而告诉我们：教育是一门艺术，我们必须学习它。在我们了解事实之前，我们不应该责骂孩子。我们应该学会照顾孩子的幼小的心灵。

1.根据短文中的句子“I exchanged my paper model plane from a little girl in the neighborhood.” he said.可知，小男孩用自己的纸飞机模型从一位小女孩那里换取了一辆模型电动小汽车，故答案为An electric model car.

2.根据短文中的句子“The electric model car belongs to my daughter. It is up to her. I respect her decision.”可知，小女孩的妈妈尊重自己女儿的选择，答案为She respected her (daughter’s) decision.

3.主旨大意题。从短文最后的句子“Education is really an art. It was lucky that we didn’t scold (训斥) our son before we learned about the fact.”我们可以找到答案，Education is an art, and we must learn it. / We shouldn’t scold a kid before we learn about the fact. / We should learn to care for the kid’s young heart.
