解析

本文讲述的是一把小提琴的故事。首先写报纸上的一则广告引起“我”对童年的回忆:当时“我”家境贫寒,无钱买小提琴,可爸爸还是设法给我买了一把,甭提我有多激动了,买小提琴的第二天我就带它去上课了。然后又回到这则广告,根据上面的电话号码,给那人打了电话。“我”只要了7美元,那人简直不敢相信这是真的。原来那人也是给女儿买的,我希望她女儿也像我当时一样喜爱小提琴。
小题1:B。从上下文来看,“我”家当时很穷(poor),不能拥有小提琴。
小题1:C。“爸爸,我可以有我自己的一把小提琴(violin)吗?”
小题1:B。从上下文可知,当时“我”家里很穷,可爸爸还是给我买了一把小提琴,尽管是旧的,但是“没有人知道我当时心里有多激动”。
小题1:B。我的小提琴随我进行每一次搬迁,而且我小心保管着它。put away 意为“存放,搁起来”。
小题1:D。for表示“由于”。现在由于这则广告。
小题1:D。从后面的 … walked to the telephone and called by means of the number 可知,“我”是拿着报纸去打电话(因为报纸上有电话号码)。
小题1:A。句意为:我女儿非常想要一把小提琴。badly 在此意为“非常,很”。
小题1:C。从下文我重复“7 美元”可知选C。
小题1:A。repeat重复。我重复并补充道。
小题1:D。happy快乐。拥有它,我希望你女儿将会快乐。

Mr Smith was ill and he went to see a doctor. The doctor asked  him to put out his tongue(舌头), and then he said, “OK, You can put your tongue back now. There’s nothing wrong with you, but I’m afraid you have a problem. You hardly ever take exercise.”
  “But, doctor,” Mr Smith said, “I don’t think so.”
  “Don’t tell me what you think,” the doctor said, “I know    what you need. I see a lot of people like you. None of them goes  any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the        television in the evening. You must walk quickly for at least(至少)20 minutes a day.”
  “I don’t want to hear any excuse(借口),” the doctor said. “You must find time for exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat and have health problems.”
  “But I walk every day,” Mr Smith said.
  “Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house, a few more meters from  the bus stop to your office, and a few more meters from your office  to your dining–room for lunch and back. That’s not a real walk.  I’m talking about a walk in the park or by the lake for twenty      minutes every day.”

  “I’m a postman,” Mr Smith went on, “and I walk for nearly(几乎)seven hours every day.”
