問題詳情：

Two children stood outside the door with old coats. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes had holes in them and they were wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea. ” They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left prints on the floor.

I gave them tea and bread to protect (保護) them from the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the living room surprised me. I looked in.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at the old things in my room.

The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match(相配) your saucers. ”

Then they left, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. They had reminded me that I had so much to thank for. The blue cups and saucers were simple, but they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over my head, my husband with a job—these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind me how rich I was.

【回答】

1. A  由文中第二段的Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea.（進來，我給你們泡杯熱茶。）和第三段的I gave them tea and bread to protect（保護）them from the cold outside.（我給他們茶和麪包來抵禦外面的寒冷。）可知選A。

2. C  由文中孩子的話語Your cups match your saucers.（你的茶杯和茶碟很配）可知孩子們對這個家庭的羨慕，由此看出他們對於該家的印象就是“富有”，故選C。

3. A  因為孩子們離開之前根本沒有説謝謝，不可能選D；作者的丈夫有工作，排除B；客廳很安靜，令我驚訝，排除C；而整個倒數第二段説的就是，孩子們的言行讓作者感悟到了對生活的感覺，那就是：你感覺一切*，那也會萬事順利的，故選A。

4. B  猜測句意要結合語意、語境和上下文，前句意為“他們的小腳印仍在我的地板上”，後句意為“我想讓它們在那裏，提醒我自己有多富有”，故可推知這裏是“不管它們，讓它們在那裏”，故選B。

5. D  本文講述了我給兩個孩子熱茶、麪包的故事，其主旨就在於表達我對富有與否所持的觀點：你對生活的觀點決定了你是否富有，故選D。
