问题补充：
One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

答案：
(答案→)B
解析：这篇短文讲述了一个眼睛盲了的小孩在路边乞讨，旁边牌子写着“我是盲人，请你帮助我”，但没有几个人给他钱。一个路人帮他把牌子改成“今天天气很好，我却看不见。”很快他就得到了很多人的帮助。同样的意思，不同的表达和创意，结果就不一样。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据文中描述What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”他写的是“今天是美丽的一天，但我却看不到”，故选B。
【小题2】词意猜测题。结合后文“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”你就是早上改了我牌子的那个人吗？你些了什么？可知此句为The boy recognized his footstep sand ask, 男孩认出了他的脚步并问道。故选D。
【小题3】细节理解题。从文中内容可知I am blind. Please help me.我是盲人，请帮助我，故选C。
【小题4】判断推理题。在那个人改了牌子之后，Soon the hat began to fill up.帽子很快就装满了（钱），从而判断A正确。
