Question

Blue Ocean Aquarium is a great place for families to take a holiday. Children love to see the sea animals and watch movies about sharks in it.

Last Saturday morning, Mr. Jackson took his wife and two little sons to the aquarium. At the ticket office, he asked, “How much shall I pay to get in？” The woman at the ticket office answered, “The price is 20 dollars for each adult or any kid older than five. We let kids in free(免费地) if they are five or younger. How old are your kids？” Mr. Jackson said, “The older one is six and the younger one is three. I think I must buy three tickets.” The woman was surprised. She said, “Sir, don't you want to save 20 dollars? If you tell me your older son is five, I won't know the difference.” Mr. Jackson said with a smile, “Yes, that sounds right, but my kids know the difference.”

【解析】

短文大意：蓝色海洋水族馆是家庭度假的好地方，孩子喜欢看海洋里面的动物，Jackson带着他的妻子和两个儿子去水族馆，因为一个孩子小于5岁，可以免费，所以他们买了三张票，售票员问Jackson，你为什么不说你的孩子不到5岁，就可以省下20元了，可Jackson认为我们应该对身边的人说实话，尤其是对孩子，故事告诉我们诚实比金钱重要的多。
