一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）
1. William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, was born in a small town. As a boy, he was quiet and shy. In fact, he was so quiet that everyone thought he was stupid. Because of that, the people of the town liked to play jokes on him.
“Here, William,” one of them would say. “Here is a nickel(五美分硬币), and here is a dime（十美分硬币）. Which one do you want?”
He always chose the nickel, and then they all laughed at him.
Finally, his mother took him aside and said to him, “I know that you are a smart boy, but sometimes you let people think you are not so smart. Why do you always choose the nickels instead of the dime? Don't you know that a dime is worth much more than a nickel?”
“Certainly, I know it,” William answered
slowly. “But if I choose the dime, they won't play the trick on me any more. Then I won’t get any more nickels.”
