Ⅳ. 阅读理解（本题30分，每小题2分）

阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 A

A man got a new car and he was very proud of it。One day，when he came back home, he saw his three-year-old son happily hitting the new car with a toy hammer. He broke off the paint on the car. The man was so angry that he ran to his son，grabbed the hammer from him， and used the hammer to hit the little boy‘s hands as hard as he could as punishment． The poor boy cried out loud but his father didn‘t care．

When the father calmed down, he took his son to the hospital as fast as he could． Although the doctor tried to save the broken bones, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy‘s hands in the end．

When the boy woke up in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently（天真地） said, ―Daddy， I‘m sorry about your car．‖ Then he asked, ―But when are my fingers going to grow back？‖ The father felt very sad．

Think about this story when someone steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge（报复）. Think first before you lose your patience with someone． Cars can be repaired， but broken bones and hurt feelings often can‘t．

People make mistakes． We are allowed to make mistakes. We often fail to remember the difference between the people and their actions． We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

Think before you act．
