Question

One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe(斧頭) fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. Then all at once a beautiful fairy(仙女) came out and asked the man what was the matter.
“I have lost my axe.” he said. “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.” The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “Is this yours?” “No.” said the man.
The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again. “Is this yours?” “No.” again answered the man. Then she showed him the old axe.
“Yes, this is mine.” called out the happy man. “I know that well enough.” Said the fairy, “I only want to see if you can tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one.”

短文大意：一個人的斧子掉到了河里面，一位仙女為他提供了一把金斧子和銀斧子來考驗他是否誠實(shí)。這個人面對金斧子和銀斧子不動心，只想要自己的舊斧子，可見他是個誠實(shí)的人。最后仙女把金斧子和銀斧子也給了他。
小題1:本句意思是他和斧子都掉到了河里面。根據(jù)第一段Suddenly his old axe(斧頭) fell into the water.描述，可知只有他的斧子掉到了河里面，故本句描述錯誤。
小題2:本句意思是，仙女出來問他怎么了。根據(jù)第一段Then all at once a beautiful fairy(仙女) came out and asked the man what was the matter. 描述，可知本句描述正確。
小題3:本句意思是，這個傷心的男人只想要金斧子和銀斧子。根據(jù)短文二三段描述，可知這個男人只想要他的舊斧子。故本句描述錯誤。
小題4:根據(jù)第三段Then she showed him the old axe.描述，可知這位仙女幫助這個男人找到了他的斧子。故本句描述正確。
小題5:這篇短文中的男人面對金斧子和銀斧子不動心，只想要自己的舊斧子，可見他是個誠實(shí)的人。根據(jù)最后一段描述，可知仙女把金斧子和銀斧子也給了他。故本句描述正確。
