［析］ 這篇文章有英國幽默的味道。英國的幽默是十分特別的，它一般都是講述一個故事，但當結(jié)尾時僅幾句話則道出天機來。對于這樣的文章要從頭認真看到尾，不要在考場中為了趕時間自認為是全懂了，其實則不然。造成不必要的丟分。從1題可以看出作者十分不情愿地為其妻子買了個書架呢。第二段則出現(xiàn)"buy it"這樣的祈使句。初學者不易看出里面的原委。要知道祈使句在對話中常常帶有命令，或不客氣之意，所以從這里開始已看出作者的情緒了。其后的what can i do?又是一句抱怨的話，"我還能作什么嗎?"其后又是一句風趣的抱怨：ten minutes later i was twenty dollars poorer即暗示十分不情愿地又花了20美元。所以其答案是d。其后2題則是推理題，從作者買了書架之后一連串的奇怪事情發(fā)生了。首先是其他的駕駛員開車對他十分的禮貌，甚至警察阻擋其他車輛讓他先行。所以其答案是b。第3題則一句道破天機。因為前兩件事已使作者感到奇怪了。后來警察竟然親自駕駛汽車為他開道。而且警察并不知道他要去什么地方就把他帶到教堂來了。這是因為英美人一生三件大事都要在教堂做：其一是出生時在教堂洗禮，其二是結(jié)婚，其三則是死亡。所以警察不問其由而將他帶到教堂是為了幫助他。所以答案是c。當警察講到we thought it was …er something else?時，顯然有個詞是不好意思講出口的，所以道出了文章的真實情況。這時不難對5題作出答復其答案是c。
