Question

One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to   1   a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.

    The next day she told her students: “From today on, for every person you don't like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person's name and the date   2   it and then put it in the plastic bag.” Day after day, some of the students' bags were very   3  . They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts 4   , on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them   5   students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time   6   they wouldn't forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and   7   nasty(惡心). They all tired to get rid of them.

【解析】

【主旨大意】本篇短文通過講述一個有智慧的老師叫學生把生活中不喜歡的人名寫在馬鈴薯上，日積月累，馬鈴薯變多了，且變壞了，從而讓學生明白不要把別人的仇恨放在心上，在生活中要學會寬容。

1.由下文知，老師叫學生每人帶一個塑料袋和一袋馬鈴薯到學校，因此用動詞bring。

2. 由題意“把名字和日期寫在馬鈴薯上”，因此用介詞on。

3. 由前文“一天天，學生的書包變重了”，因此用heavy。

4. 由后文“坐在車子里時，要放在座位上”可推知，前文“晚上睡覺時放在被子里”，因此選D。

5.由動詞原形get知，應選B，因為選項中只有動詞make后接動詞原形。

6.由題意“他們不得不一直關注它，以致于不會忘記”，so that以致于，因此選C。

7. 由前文“馬鈴薯變壞了”知，聞起來惡心，smell聞起來，因此選C。

8. 由題意“我們經常性地把寬容作為一份禮物送給其他的人”，other people其他的人，因此選B。

9. 由前文知，悲傷和仇恨放在心里，因此用hearts。

10. 由題意“你已從這位老師身上明白了一些事情嗎？”，因此選A。
