Question

    Zak’s grandfather, Stan, was very famous. Why? Because he had a very, very, very long white beard(胡子).

One day Zak asked his grandfather, “When you sleep, do you put your beard over or under the quilt?” “I’m not sure. I never care about that,” said his grandfather, “I’ll look tonight.”

Stan got into bed that night and pulled up the quilt. Then he remembered his grandson’s question. Aha! His beard was under the quilt. But wait. Did that feel right?

He lifted his beard from under the quilt and put it above it. This also didn’t feel right. So he put the beard under the quilt again. But he soon felt it would be better if it were out. The beard went in and out—first under the quilt, then over it, under, over, all night long.

Stan spent a sleepless night. In the morning, he was so tired and unhappy that he cut his long beard right off! Stan’s wife was so happy. She advised Stan to cut that beard off many times, but he never did it. Now a simple question made him do that.

【解析】

扎克的爷爷长着很长的白胡子，扎克的奶奶好多次建议爷爷把胡子剪掉，爷爷不听，没想到扎克一个简单的问题让祖父剪掉了胡子。

1.根据“Because he had a very, very, very long white beard(胡子)”可知斯坦是因为他的长长的白胡子而出名，故填T。

2.根据“Stan got into bed that night and pulled up the quilt. Then he remembered his grandson’s question.”可知爷爷记得孙子的问题，由此推断爷爷斯坦在意孙子，故填F。

3.根据“Aha! His beard was under the quilt.”可知一开始他的胡子就在被子下面，故填T。

4.根据“The beard went in and out—first under the quilt, then over it, under, over, all night long.”可知爷爷是因为一晚上都在放胡子，所以没有睡好，感到疲惫，故填F。

5.根据“She advised Stan to cut that beard off many times, but he never did it. Now a simple question made him do that.”可知爷爷剪掉胡子不是因为奶奶的建议而是因为孙子这个简单的问题，故填F。
