My wife said to me quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said, in a loud voice,“It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?”
“I’ll decide about that when I see the bill. ”I said.
John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:
One dining table 10 November, 1998
Cost of wood $17. 00
Paint $1. 50
Work, 8 hours ( $1 an hour ) $8. 00
Total $36. 50
When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It’s been a nice day, hasn’t it?Quite sunny. ”
“Yes. ”I said. “ I’m glad it’s only the tenth of November. ”
“Me, too. ”said John. “You wait — it’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month. ”
“Yes,colder — and more expensive! A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John?”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes?I gave his bill back to him.
“If there isn’t too much trouble, John,” I said,“please add it up again. You can forget the date…”
I paid him $26. 50 and he was happy to get it.

解析
试题分析:短文大意:这篇短文主要讲述了木匠约翰把日期当做花费,跟作者多要了10美元,但是作者发现了这个问题,最后按照实际价格付了账单。
小题1:推理判断题。阅读短文可知,约翰把日期当做花费加在了一起,他和作者谈论天气的目的就是想分散作者的注意力,故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John?”描述,可知作者认为在十二月三十日做一个饭桌要花20美元,故选C。
小题3:细节理解题。根据约翰列出的账单可知,这张饭桌的实际花费是26.5美元,故选A。
小题4:细节理解题。在约翰给出的账单中,他把十二月十日这个日期也当做花费加在了一起,可见他想愚弄作者,想多要点钱,故选B。
小题5:推理判断题。阅读短文可知,作者看出了约翰的账单的问题,可见他是一个聪明的人。故选B。
