Question

    One day last winter, my dad and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family in front of us. There were eight children. All were perhaps under the age of 12. You could tell that they didn't have much money. Their clothes were not expensive but clean. All of them were standing in line, two by two behind their parents. I could feel that the children had never seen the circus before .They were very excited. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, "Eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets so that I can take my family to the circus" The ticket lady answered the price. The man’s wife looked sad. The father asked again in surprise, "How much did you say?” The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn't have enough money. How could he tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money? At that time my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out twenty dollars and dropped it on the ground (In fact, we were not rich). My dad picked up the money and said to the father, “Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket. "The man knew what happened at once. He looked at my dad and took my dad’s hands. He was so thankful that he couldn't say a word. My dad and I went back home. We didn't see the circus, but I would never forget that day.

【解析】

本文讲述了去年冬天我和爸爸去马戏团，买票时前面有八个小孩加两个大人，但是买票时那位父亲的钱不够，但是又不知道如何能让孩子们不知道，这是我的父亲丢了20美元在地上，并告诉那位父亲这是你丢的钱，那位父亲很感激，最后我们没有看成表演，但是那一天让我很难忘。

1.句意：去年冬天的一天，我和爸爸排队买音乐会的票。

根据“One day last winter, my dad and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus ”可知是马戏团的门票，所以这句话是错误的。故选F。

2.句意：只有八个人在我们前面。

根据“Finally, there was only one family in front of us. There were eight children.…Eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets ”可知是10个人，故选F。

3.句意：8个孩子的父亲没有足够的钱买票。

根据“The man didn't have enough money.”可知是没有足够的钱，所以是正确的，故选T。

4.句意：8个孩子的父亲往地上扔了20美元。

根据“At that time my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out twenty dollars and dropped it on the ground”可知是我的父亲往地上扔了20美元，所以这句话是错误的，故选F。

5.句意：我和爸爸最后没有去看马戏。

根据“We didn't see the circus, but I would never forget that day.”我们没有看马戏表演，但我永远不会忘记那一天。所以这句话是正确的，故选T。
