Question

Once upon a time，there were two good friends．One was called Jack and the other was called James．One day，the two friends were walking through the desert．During the journey they had a quarrel，and Jack couldn’t control himself and hit James in the face．James felt hurt，but he didn’t say anything．Instead，he wrote in the sand，“Today my best friend Jack hit me in the face．”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis(綠洲)．They decided to get some water there．Suddenly James had trouble in the water，he fell into the mire(泥潭)and was in danger．Jack saved him at once．When he felt all right，he wrote on a stone，“Today my best friend Jack saved my life．”Jack was very surprised and asked James，“After I hurt you，you wrote in the sand and now you write on the stone．Why?”James replied，“When someone hurts us，we should write it down in the sand so that the wind of forgiveness can blow it away．But when someone does anything good for us，we must write it on the stone，so no wind can blow it away．”

Since then，the two good friends have never quarreled with each other again and they got on better with each other．

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了兩個好朋友在沙漠中發生爭吵，結果一個打了另一個，被打將這件事寫在了沙子上；他們繼續行走，在取水時，剛才被打的人掉進了泥潭，他的朋友救了他，他將這件事刻在了石頭上。這篇文章告訴我們應該忘記仇恨，記住別人的恩惠。

1.根據Instead，he wrote in the sand，“Today my best friend Jack hit me in the face．”可知，本題應該選D。

2.根據They decided to get some water there和he fell into the mire(泥潭)and was in danger可知，本題應該選B。

3.根據When he felt all right，he wrote on a stone可知，本應該選A。

4.根據They kept on walking until they found an oasis可知，文中并沒說a few days later．所以本題選C。

5.根據“When someone hurts us，we should write it down in the sand so that the wind of forgiveness can blow it away．But when someone does anything good for us，we must write it on the stone，so no wind can blow it away．”可知，A和B都符合題意，所以本題選D。
