中考真题2024年四川省内江市阅读理解B篇-邮差善意的谎言：延续母亲的希望
“Amma, your son has sent money to you,” said the postman to the old lady. She was sitting outside her house. Seeing him, Amma’s face lighted up. “Let me first talk to my son,” she was looking at him with hopeful eyes. But the postman tried to avoid it, “Amma, I don’t have so much time. Don’t talk with your son every time.”
The postman wanted to go but Amma stopped him. She said, “It will take just a while.” Hearing this, the postman dialed (拨号) a number on his mobile phone.After talking to her son on the phone, Amma was happy.
Then, the postman handed eight 100-rupee (卢比，货币单位) notes to Amma. After counting the money, she took out one note and gave it to the postman.
“Why, Amma?” asked the postman. Amma smiled and said, “You bring me money and also let me talk to my son. It must cost money, right? So keep it.” Amma went inside after giving him lots of blessings (祝福).
The postman left and met his friend Ramu. “Every month you give your own money to Amma. Not only that, you give me money to talk to her on the phone as her son! Why?” Ramu asked.
The postman said, “Her son worked in a foreign country and used to send money to his mother every month. But one day, her son was missing. Now, he’s still out of touch. I don’t want to tell this to Amma. So I send her some money and ask you to talk with her on the phone.”
