Question

Henry was a carpenter of our village. Once I asked him to make a table for my family. A week later, Henry sent us the table and the bill as well.

My wife said to me, "It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?"

"I won't decide about that until I see the bill." I said.

Henry was drinking a glass of water. He laughed and gave me a piece of paper. It said,

Bill

One dining table                 June 10, 2011

Cost of wood                       17.00

Paint                               1.50

Work, 8 hours (1 an hour)             8.00

Total(总计)                         36.50

When I was looking at the bill, Henry said," It's a fine day, isn't it? Quite sunny."

"Yes," I said. "I'm glad it is only the 10th of June."

"Me too, " said Henry." You wait. It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month."

"Yes, hotter and more expensive. The table will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won't they, Henry? " I said, "If it isn't too much trouble, please add it up again. You can forget the date."

"OK, man. You are such a guy." Henry said with a smile in his two blue eyes, and he left with the money he should get.

4.A

【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍了一个有趣的故事，一个木匠算错了费用。

1.A 细节题。根据Cost of wood说明这个桌子是由木材制成的，故A正确。

2.C 计算题。根据　One dining table                 June 10, 2011

　　Cost of wood                        17.00

　　Paint                               1.50

　　Work, 8 hours (1 an hour)             8.00

　　Total(总计)                         36.50

可知真正的价格是26,5，他错把日期也算进去了，故C正确。

3.A 推理题。根据Yes," I said. "I'm glad it is only the 10th of June."

　　"Me too, " said Henry." You wait. It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month."

说明作者已经看清楚他所犯的错误了，他也意识到了，故A正确。

4.A 计算题。根据61题解析可知真正的价格是26.5，他错吧10号的日期也加了上去。故A正确。
