Mr Parker was born in a small village. His father was so poor that he couldn’t send him to school. The boy had to help his parents to do some farming and learned English and maths by himself when he was free. Later on he was made to leave his home village and hoped to find a job in a city. And as soon as war broke out, he joined the army(军队). He couldn’t forget his terrible past and fought with the enemies bravely(勇敢的). So he became a general when he was fifty. He was honest and friendly to his soldiers and often punished those who tried to pocket a portion of the soldiers’ pay(克扣军饷). And his soldiers liked him very much.
Once Mr Parker heard from a soldier. In the letter the young man said the food in their military camp(军营)was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons. The old man went there at once without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers’ bedrooms and found there were a lot of fleas. He became angry and asked the soldiers, “What do you think of your food, young men?”
The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing. Only a new soldier said, “Very bad, sir!”
“What did you have for lunch today?” asked Mr Parker.
“A fried chicken, some fish and pork, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine(酒).”
“Really?” Mr. Parker called out in surprise. “It’s the King’s(国王)lunch, I think!”
“So do I, General,” said the young man. “But it’s my birthday today. I paid  three hundred dollars for them all in the restaurant!”

小题1:B细节理解题。根据文章第一段He was honest and friendly to his soldiers and often punished those who tried to pocket a portion of the soldiers’ pay(克扣军饷). And his soldiers liked him very much.可以判断他受到敬重的原因是他不仅对士兵友善而且对士兵也公正公平，故选B。
小题2:D细节理解题。文章第二段讲述将军收到信后没有告诉任何人就去了军营，查看了那里的一切情况，由此可知他是去亲自看看信里反应的情况是否属实，答案选D。
小题3:C推理判断题。根据文章第三段The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing.可以判断士兵们害怕跟在将军身边的军官，答案选C。
小题4:B细节理解题。根据文章末尾“But it’s my birthday today. I paid  three hundred dollars for them all in the restaurant!”可知B选项正确，其他选项内容错误。
