We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights , and there my wife saw the bookshelf.

It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架) . I've always wanted one like that . "

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too .

As it was getting darker, I drove slowly . Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through . Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind . Why don't they overtake (超车) ?"

Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past . But then , with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂) . One of the offices came to me.

"Right, sir, " he said. "Do you need any more help now?"

I didn't quite understand . "Thanks, officer, " I said . "You've been very kind. I lived just down the road. "

He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, Well, " he said and laughed . "It's a bookshelf you've got there ! We thought it was-er, something else . "

My wife began to laugh . Suddenly I understood why the police drove here .

Look at the picture. It's a small room. We can see Betty in it. There is a bed and a desk in her room. What's on the wall? It's a map of England. We can see a photo (照片) near the map. It's Betty's photo. We can see a clock on the table. There are some flowers near it. Is her black cat on the bed? No, it's her hat. Where's her bag? It's on the bed, too.

1. Whose (谁的) room is it?

2. Is the room big or small?

3. What's on the wall?

4. Where are the flowers?

5. What colour is Betty's hat?

参考答案

解答：阅读题对于初学者来说略有困难。学生希望直接从文章中找到答案。有的题可以但有的题却不能。这篇文章介绍的是一幅画。没有提到房间是Betty的，但所介绍的物品与她有关，故房间是Betty的。

1、答案为It's Betty's.

2、文章的第二句表明房间小，故答案为It's small.

3、墙上除了有英国地图外，旁边还有一张照片，故答案为There is a map of England and a photo.

4、文章没有说花在桌子上，但钟在桌子上，花在它的旁边，当然花在桌子上，故答案为They're on the table.

5、文章也没讲Betty的帽子是什么颜色，但把床上的帽子误认为黑色的猫。由此可见她的帽子是黑色的，故答案为It's black.
