Some time ago , I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg I didn’t think there

Some time ago , I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg ．I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there were a whole lot of antique shops near my home ．So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me ．I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception ．I was quite wrong ．The man wouldn’t even look at my chair ．
The second shop , though slightly more polite , was just the same , and the third, and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong ．
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind ．I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper , “ Would you like to buy a chair ?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes , not a bad chair ．How much do you want for it , sir ?” “Twenty pounds ,” I said ．“OK ,” he said , “I’ll give you twenty pounds ．” “It’s got a slightly broken leg ,”I said ．“Yes I saw that , it’s nothing ．”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited ．“What will you do with it ?” I asked ．“Oh , it will be easy to sell once the repair is done ．” “I’ll buy it ,” I said ．“ What do you mean ? You’ve just sold it to me ,” he said ． “Yes , I know but I’ve changed my mind ．I’m sorry , I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it ．” “You must be crazy ,” he said．Then suddenly the penny dropped ．“ I know what you want ．You want me to repair your chair．” “ You’re right ,” I said ．“ And what would you have done if I had walked in and said , ‘ Would you mend this chair for me’ ?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it ,” he said ．“We don’t do repairs , not enough money in it and too much trouble ．But I’ll mend this for you , shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused （感到有趣） by the whole thing ．

(答案→)D 解析：本文叙述了作者想修理一把椅子，结果带着它跑了四家门市，都不理作者，也不给修理，到了第五家他变了一方法，进门就问你要这把椅子吗，这次店主很快给出答应，20元要这把椅子，紧接着作者又问，你要坏椅子做什么，店主说买了修好后再卖，最后作者以25元把椅子又给买回来，其实作者花了5元修好了椅子。【小题1】推理判断题。根据作者进入第五家的门市说的话，可以推知，故选D。【小题2】词义猜测题。根据Yes , I know but I’ve changed my mind ．I’m sorry , I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it .You must be crazy I know what you want 可知选C。【小题3】细节理解题。根据I’ll mend this for you , shall we say for a five?故选A。【小题4】推理判断题。根据作者去了前四家说了同样的话，可是没有人理会，于是就换了一种思维，结果愿望实现了，可以看出作者爱动脑思考，是非常聪明的，故选C。
