試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了作者有一次和父親去看馬戲表演遇到的經歷。一家夫婦倆帶著8個孩子在買票，由于支付不起費用正在為難之際，父親略施小計巧妙地幫助了這一家人，這個經歷讓作者感到很欣慰。
小題1:考查動詞以及對語境的理解。waiting for：等待，looking for：尋找，working for：為……效力。根據語境，一家人在排隊等候買票。故應選A。
小題2:考查形容詞及語境的理解。根據下文but they were clean的描述可知與上文存在語氣的轉折，說明他們的衣著昂貴。故選C。
小題3:考查數詞及語境的理解。聯系下文eight for children and two for adults.的描述可知，他們需要買10張票。故應選B。
小題4:考查名詞及語境的理解。根據下文He asked again, “How much?”的描述可知，售票的小姐告訴他票價而他沒有聽清。故選C，price：價格.
小題5:考查名詞及語境的推斷。根據前文When he heard that的描述，他聽到售票小姐的話，幾乎不相信自己的耳朵。故選B，ears：耳朵。
小題6:考查對語境的理解。聯系上下文，這家子既然來看馬戲演出，肯定是帶錢的，當售票小姐說出價錢后明顯是感覺到錢不夠。故選A，enough：足夠的。
小題7:考查動詞短語及語境的理解。根據短文My dad took a twenty—dollar bill and dropped it on the ground.的描述可知，作者的父親把一張20美元的錢丟到了地上，而買票的人把它撿了起來。結合語境，他撿起的是一張鈔票，應用代詞it，且應置于動詞與副詞之間，故應選A。
小題8:考查動詞及語境的理解。根據語境，買票的人知道發生了什么事。What’s going on?是固定句型，表示“發生什么事了？”，故選B。
小題9:考查名詞及對語境理解。聯系上下文，買票的人知道眼前發生的一幕，于是他撿起鈔票并表示感謝。故應選C，bill：鈔票。
小題10:考查副詞及語境的理解。hardly：幾乎不， nearly：幾乎 ，really：真的。根據語境，20美元的錢對他和他的家人真的是很多了。故選C。
