A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, “Well, there’s nothing really wrong with you, I’m glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I’m that man’s tailor!” True or False: 1. The tailor went to see his doctor because he has got a headache.
2. There is nothing serious with the tailor.
3. The doctor gave the man and the tailor the differnt advice. 4. The tailor was worried because a man couldn’t pay his bills. 4．如何进行推断？
所谓推断，就是根据阅读材料中所提供的信息，推断出未知的信息。 其类型主要有以下几种：
（1）事实推断：这种推断常常针对某一个或几个具体细节，是比较简单的推断。进行这种推断，要首先在文章中找出据以推断的有关文字，然后加以分析，尤其要悟出字里行间的意思。 在阅读材料中，有这样一段文字：
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news.
According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV? A. You often play football with your friends after school. B. Your teacher has got a cold.
C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught. D. The bike in front of your house is lost.
（2）逻辑推断
这类题目往往是要求根据文章所提供的背景，人物的表情，动作和语言来推断出人物的态度或感觉。 ... The boy was surprised, but did not understand. Then the father explained，\，but really this is Life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection（反映）of what we have done. If you want more love in the world，have more love in your heart. If you want to be successful，work hard. This can be used in everything in life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it.

From the story，we know ______ .
A. the boy didn't like others' voice at all
B. the father had his own way to teach his son C. it is not polite to repeat others' voice D. the boy and his father were rather tired （3）对作者的意图和态度的推断
这一类考题大都要求考生就作者对论述对象持什么样的态度做出推断， 如作者对所陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹豫不定，对记述或描写的人、物或事件是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩不一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在字里行间。因此，进行这种推断时，我们既要依靠短文的主题思想作为推力的前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是形容词一类的修饰语。
