Question

When Paula Grzelak-Schultz spotted a piece of paper tucked under her windshield(挡风玻璃) wipers, she thought she was getting fined for leaving her car in a bar parking lot overnight. With a heavy sigh, Grzelak-Schultz removed the paper and unlocked her car.

Hardly had she unfolded the paper when she got shocked. It was a letter from the manager of Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar in Sherwood Park, Canada.

“Just wanted to thank you for leaving your car parked overnight,” Jay McLean, managing partner at Original Joe’s, wrote. “I’m not sure if you had consumed alcohol at our restaurant or not, but we wanted to thank you for not drinking and driving.”

Inside it,, Grzelak-Schultz also found a voucher（代金券） for 1 pound of chicken wings.

“Please accept this as a thank you for being responsible,” McLean wrote. “Life is valuable, have a great weekend.”

Grzelak-Schultz was touched.

“I was sure it was going to be a ticket or a scolding from someone for leaving my vehicle there for so long,” Grzelak-Schultz told CBS News. “I was truly surprised and so pleased that the manager took the time to acknowledge my good judgment.”

She decided to share the man’s good deed on Facebook.

“Wow! I’m so impressed. Definitely going back,” Grzelak-Schultz wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday that has since gone widespread with nearly 8,500 shares. “Not just because of the voucher, but also because of how well this guy treats his regular customers.”

Exactly a week later, Grzelak-Schultz returned to the restaurant to thank McLean for his kindness, and discovered that she’s not the only customer to receive this leter.

“He’s been doing it for over a year, with no expectations.” She explained. “Just being a good guy.”

【解析】文章介绍Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar的经理给在自己店停车场停车的客人写感谢信，感谢他们没有酒后驾车，作者很是感动，并在Facebook上发文了。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第七段I was sure it was going to be a ticket or a scolding from someone for leaving my vehicle there for so long,可知要么是票，要么是责骂信，故选A。

2.推理判断题。根据第七段I was truly surprised and so pleased that the manager took the time to acknowledge my good judgment.可知作者吃惊是因为别人认可了她的良好的判断，认为她是由责任心的人，故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据最后一句话“He’s been doing it for over a year, with no expectations.” She explained. “Just being a good guy.”可知他只是心地好，与人为善，很纯粹。故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据文章的描述，一开始以为是罚单，故很难过；然后看到了是一封感谢信，很是吃惊；再然后感到收到了经经理的认可很开心，最后发现他给每一个顾客都写，故印象深刻，因此答案为B。

【名师点睛】

推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude  indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。比如第三题题干中就有一个表推断的关键词learn，what can we learn……？从文中可以知道什么？典型的推理题，接下来就是给每一个选项中到文中去找到关键词或句来支撑选项，当然最后答案可定只有一个。本题，根据最后一句话“He’s been doing it for over a year, with no expectations.” She explained. “Just being a good guy.”可知他只是心地好，与人为善，很纯粹的一个好人，因此A项是对的，那么B项，他想希望吸引更多的客人，文中没有一个词有这方面的隐含意思，故错误，C项，他想在网上出名，文中根式没有只言片语能支撑这一点，故错误，D项，他想取悦那些老顾客，不管是第一次来还是老顾客他都会这么做，故这个表述也错误。因此，任何一道推理题都必须建立在原文理解的基础上，再结合自己的思考，肯定会得出最终答案。
