Question

An old farmer lived on a farm with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early to read his Bhagavat Geeta. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it, What good does reading the Bhagavat Geeta do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out (漏出) before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the same took place. He told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water with a basket.

The old man said, " You're just not trying hard enough,"  So the boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.

"You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Krishna in our lives."

试题分析：本文通过爷爷让孙子带着曾经装煤的篮子去打水，让他必须带着水回来可是孙子每次无论跑的多快，走到爷爷的面前就是空篮子，孙子告诉爷爷这事是不可能做到的，可是爷爷让他看看篮子有什么变化，发现篮子的里里外外都被洗的很干净。爷爷告诉他，虽然你不懂它的意思，其实你也被它改变了。

1.这是推理判断题。根据His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. 孙子模仿自己的爷爷，可以推出孙子是非常喜欢爷爷的，故选B。

2.这是细节理解题。根据I don't understand it, What good does reading the Bhagavat Geeta do?" 孙子看不懂Bhagavat Geeta，当然觉得读这个没有意义。故选D。

3.这是细节理解题。根据It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.装煤的篮子由于多次被水冲，结果里外都很干净了，故选A。

4.这是细节理解题。根据根据第三和第四自然段可以看出爷爷叫孙子多次去河边用篮子打水，故选C。
