名師點評
這篇記敘文講述了一個母親巧妙引導孩子依靠自身努力達成目標的故事。Joe向父母要錢買電腦，在父母沒有同意并且要求他自己想辦法的情況下，他絞盡腦汁，終于想出送報紙掙錢的方法。閱讀這篇文章要注意體會Joe的父母教育孩子的這種做法的真正目的，把握上下文提供的信息和詞義的差異是解題的關鍵所在。
答案簡析
1. B。根據文章可知，Joe是向他的'父母要錢買電腦。
2. C。他在路上邊走邊想這個問題，。think about sth.是固定搭配，意思是“考慮……”。
3. D。由文意可知：要過很長時間（a long time）以后才能為鄰居掃雪掙錢，所以可以推斷此時不是冬天（winter）。
4. A。沒有工具是他不能為鄰居割草的原因，這里為因果關系，所以選because。
5. A。第14題后內容有提示。
6. B。right away意為“立刻，立即”。Joe認為他甚至可以通過每周分期付款的方式“立刻”得到電腦。
7. D。pay for sth. 為固定詞組，意為“付……款”。
8. B。catch up with 為固定詞組，意為“追上，趕上”。
9. C。it was possible to do sth. 意為“做……是有可能的”。
10. B。每晚“大約”花費三小時，用about。
11. B。因為Dick已經送報紙了，他熟悉報社經理的電話號碼，所以他把電話號碼“給”了Joe，故選gave。
12. C。這里應選一個連接代詞引導賓語從句，同時在從句中作賓語，故選擇what。
13. A。根據下文媽媽的言談可見她很滿意，故選擇smiled。
14. C。母親肯定了這是一個好主意，說明這是一個great idea。
15. B。母親在聽到Joe要自己打電話后，非常滿意，“開心地”笑了，故選happily。
