5．We were the only family with children in the restaurant．I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly eating and talking．Suddenly，Erik said happily，"Hi there．，His eyes were wide with excitement．I looked around and saw the source of his happiness．It was a man with an old coat，dirty，oily and worn．His shirt was dirty and his hair was uncombed and unwashed．"Hi there，baby； hi there，big boy，"the man said to Erik．Everyone in the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man．
We ate in silence，all except for Erik．The old man was having fun with my beautiful baby．My husband and I were embarrassed．We finally got through the meal and headed for the door．My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot．The old man sat still between me and the door．"God，just let me out of here before He speaks to me or Erik，"I prayed．As I drew closer to the man，I turned my back trying to avoid any air he might be breathing．As I did，Erik leaned over my arm，reaching with both arms in a baby's pick-me-up position．Before I could stop him，Erik had moved himself from my arms to the man's．Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby completed their love relationship．Erik，in an act of total trust^nd love laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder．No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time．I stood feeling moved．
The old man rocked and cradled'Erik in his arms for a moment，and said"You take care of this baby．Thank you，ma'am，you've given me my Christmas gift．"I said nothing more than a muttered thanks．With Erik in my arms，I ran for the car．"My God，forgive me．"I had just witnessed the love shown through a child"'who saw a soul，and a mother who just saw a suit of clothes．

分析 文章講述了作者一家在飯店吃飯時，從開始抵觸衣衫襤褸的老人親近自己的孩子到目睹孩子對老人愛的流露．懺愧自己只看到了老人外在破爛的衣服而孩子卻看到了老人內(nèi)心那顆愛意滿滿的心．從而告訴我們不能以貌取人，要真誠地信任、愛戴彼此．
解答 39．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中第二段七、八兩句"God，just let me out of here before He speaks to me or Erik，"I prayed．As I drew closer to the man，I turned my back trying to avoid any air he might be breathing． 可知，作者祈禱在那位老人和自己或Erik說話之前離開這里．并且在經(jīng)過老人的時候，還轉(zhuǎn)過身盡量避免吸進老人呼吸的空氣．由此可知，作者想遠離這位老人．故選D．
40．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中最后一段最后一句"My God，forgive me．"可知，作者祈求上帝的原諒，感到抱歉的心理．故選C．
41．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中最后一段倒數(shù)第二句I had just witnessed the love shown through a child who saw a soul，and a mother who just saw a suit of clothes．可知，作者剛才看到了孩子愛的流露，孩子看到的是老人內(nèi)心的愛意，而作者自己當(dāng)時只看到了老人身上破爛的衣服．由此可知，作者以貌取人．故選A．
42．D 寫作意圖題．根據(jù)文章作者講述的故事，從開始抵觸衣衫襤褸的老人親近自己的孩子到目睹孩子對老人愛的流露．懺愧自己只看到了老人外在破爛的衣服而孩子卻看到了老人內(nèi)心那顆愛意滿滿的心．作者借此故事，告訴我們不能以貌取人，要真誠地信任、愛戴彼此．故選D．
