这篇短文作者通过讲述一个商人的故事告诉我们：愤怒是会传染的，当我们对某事生气的时候，我们可能会把怒气发泄到其他人的身上，所以我们应该学会控制自己的愤怒。

【1】句意：一天,当一个成功的商人打开他的车门的时候,一只正在他车底下睡觉的狗突然出来,咬了他的腿。on 在…上面；near在…附近；in front of在…前面；under在…下面。根据常识可知，狗不可能在车的上面睡觉，故A不对；如果狗在车附近睡觉的话，不可能商人一打开车门，狗就咬他，故B不对；如果狗在车的前面睡觉的话，商人就能看见它了，所以也不可能被咬了。故应选D，在车下面睡觉，比较合情理。

【2】句意：他朝着这只狗扔了一块石头，尽管他没有能够打中它。although 尽管，虽然，引导让步状语从句；if如果，引导条件状语从句；unless除非，如果不；so因此，所以。根据句意threw a stone at the dog以及he was not able to hit it可知，这两句话之间是转折的关系，故应选A。

【3】句意：一到他的办公室，这个商人就召集他的工人们开会。cleaning 打扫；repairing 修理；filling装满；reaching到达。根据空后的his office是一个地方可知，商人来到了办公室，故应选D。

【4】句意：逐渐地，商人的愤怒传遍了这个公司。ran into 偶然碰见；came over过来，顺便拜访；spread through 蔓延开来；rose up上升。根据上句话He took out his anger(愤怒) on them.可知，商人把自己的愤怒发泄在工人们身上，所以这种怒气在公司里蔓延，故应选C。

【5】句意：这个男人大喊道：“我去办公室不是为了踢球，我是去工作，所以不要问我这么愚蠢的问题。”answered 回答；shouted大喊；repeated重复；said说。根据下文His wife was troubled about being shouted at可知，商人回到家怒气还没有消，对着他的妻子大喊大叫，故应选B。

【6】句意：他的妻子对无缘无故被吵感到很苦恼。for no reason 无缘无故地；没有理由地；after a while 过了一会儿；in that case 假如那样的话；by the way顺便问一下。根据上文The businessman was still angry after returning home.可知，商人怒气未消，回到家就对妻子大喊大叫，妻子并不知道怎么回事，所以这里是“无缘无故地”，选A。

【7】句意：你对学习不感兴趣。time 时间；interest兴趣；choice选择；attention注意力。根据上文She turned her anger on their son who was watching TV. 可知，她的儿子正在看电视，所以她认为她的儿子对学习不感兴趣，故选B。have no interest in …对….不感兴趣，是固定短语。

【8】句意：儿子也变得很苦恼。relaxed 放松的；lonely孤独的；upset心烦意乱的；helpless无助的。根据上文Turn off the TV now!” she shouted.以及下文He picked up a stone and threw it at the dog可知，他的妈妈对他大喊大叫，所以儿子感觉很气恼，拿狗撒气，故应选C。

【9】句意：他捡起一块儿石头，生气地朝狗扔过去。angrily 生气地；actually 事实上，实际上；simply仅仅，只；painfully痛苦地。根据上文Turn off the TV now!” she shouted.可知，他的妈妈对他大喊大叫，他很生气，所以拿狗来撒气，故这里应是“生气地”，选A。

【10】句意：有时候当我们因为某事生气的时候，我们会把愤怒发泄在其他人身上。another 另一个；any other其他的任何一个；other 其他的，形容词；others其他人。根据文意He took out his anger(愤怒) on them、She turned her anger on their son who was watching TV.和He picked up a stone and threw it at the dog可知，文章中的商人、他的妻子、儿子都把自己的愤怒发泄在其他人的身上，故应选D。

这篇短文通过讲述商人的故事，来告诉我们一个道理：愤怒是会传染的，我们要学会控制自己的愤怒。文章的前五段的内容是叙事，最后一段总结出道理，是一篇以记叙为主，掺杂议论的文章。故事比较容易理解，学生们阅读的时候也能结合自己的实际感同身受，这对把握文章主旨是非常有利的。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意；然后逐空做题，注意要根据上下文的语境提示和空前后的搭配。先解决简单的题目，当文章变得更加完整的时候，难题也会迎刃而解。这一题型的特点是选项中给的词往往词性相同，单独来看，都可以放在空上，但结合语境只能有一个是正确的。因此做题时要注意“词汇+语境”，辨析选项的单词的意思和用法，根据语境选择正确的答案。例如第2小题，选项中是四个介词，分别表示不同的逻辑关系，根据句意，前一句话threw a stone at the dog是“朝狗扔石头”，后面这句话是he was not able to hit it“没有击中”，可知这两句话之间是转折的关系，故应选A，although，“尽管，虽然”，引导让步状语从句。再如第8、9小题，这两个题目是有关联的，第8小题的选项都是形容词，第9小题中的四个选项都是副词，结合文意可知，商人的妻子把她的怒气发泄在儿子身上，儿子被吵了一回，心情非常的烦恼（第8题），所以将气撒在一只狗的身上，所以这里应该是“生气地”把石头朝狗扔过去，故选A。
