A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man. “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

答案：
(答案→)D
解析：这篇短文中作者主要通过儿子欲向父亲借10美元买父亲1小时的对话矛盾冲突，表达了儿子对缺少父亲关爱的不满。
【小题1】归纳演绎题。根据短文第一段I make $20 an hour（我每小时挣20美元），可计算出工作10小时可挣200美元。故选D。
【小题2】句义猜测题。联系下文，If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!（如果你要钱去买玩具或其他垃圾，那么回到你的房间想想你为什么那么自私）可知父亲生气了。故选A。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据下文Can I buy an hour of your time? （我能买你1小时吗？）可知答案是D。
【小题4】判断推理题。根据短文 Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.(明天早点回家，我想和你共进晚餐）可知，父亲早出晚归，和孩子在一起的时间很少。故选C。
