How to Become Cleverer
once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”.
“That’s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.”
“Really?”
“Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.
A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.
“Not in my head,” said the boy.
The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”

答案解析：
本文叙述了一个男孩因为妈妈经常说他“傻孩子”，所以去问渔夫怎样才能变聪明。渔夫说吃鱼头可以变聪明，他就花了三英镑买了个鱼头，两口吞下了。之后，他感觉自己上当了。
小题1:细节理解题。根据“It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed.”渔夫说鱼头对脑子好，吃了会变聪明。可知男孩两口吞下鱼头，是因为他把鱼头当成能变聪明的良药了。故答案选C。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第一句“once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer，”可知男孩来找渔夫是为了问他怎样能变聪明。至于买鱼头，是后来渔夫让他买的。故答案选B。
小题3:词义猜测题。根据上下文，渔夫说吃鱼头能变聪明，所以他就吃了。吃完后，渔夫问有什么感觉，他回答“Not in my head” ，所以词句意思应该是“男孩没感觉自己变聪明”。故答案选D。
小题4:细节理解题。根据“Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” 可知，男孩花费三英镑可以买到一整条鱼还能找回一英镑。故选C。
小题5:推理题。根据文章中男孩吃鱼前后的情况，可知并没有什么帮男孩变得更聪明，他本来就不傻。故答案选C。
