　　1.A

　　2.C

　　3.B

　　4.D

　　Andrew想让老板给他加薪，但是他不知道结果。最后老板给他加薪，回家的时候。妻子给他准备了一桌很好的菜，但是他看见了两张不同的纸条。都反应出妻子对他的爱。

　　1.A

　　【试题解析】细节题。根据文章34段WhileAndrewwasgettingreadyforworkoneFridaymorningheannouncedtohiswifethathehadfinallydecidedtoaskhisbossforasalaryraise.可知他计划向老板要求加薪。故A正确。

　　2.2】C

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据本句TohisdelightandsurprisetheeverfrugalHarveyLarchmontagreedtogiveAndrewaraise!让他高兴也很惊讶的是，曾经很吝啬的老板同意给他加薪。本题的关键词是surprise，可知老板同意给他加薪，让他很惊讶，说明老板以前是一个很吝啬的人，不愿意给别人加薪的。选项了只有C项表示相似的意思。

　　3.3】B

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数23段Itread:“Congratulationsmylove!Iknewyou’dgettheraise!IpreparedthisdinnertoshowjusthowmuchIloveyou.Iamsoproudofyouraccomplishments!”和Itread:“Don’tworryaboutnotgettingtheraise!Youdodeserveone!YouareawonderfulproviderandIpreparedthisdinnertoshowyoujusthowmuchIloveyoueventhoughyoudidnotgettheincrease.”可知从这两个纸条里都说明Tina对Andrew无私的爱和支持。故B正确。

　　4.4】D

　　【试题解析】推理题。本文中通过Tina给Andrew留下的两个内容完全不同的纸条可知Tina对Andrew的爱是无条件的，也让Andrew从中获得了很大的信心和勇气。故D正确。

　　【长难句解析】

　　AfterdinnerAndrewwasonhiswaytothekitchentogetdessertwhenheobservedthatasecondcardhadslippedoutofTina’spocketontothefloor.

　　【翻译】晚饭以后，Andrew去厨房拿甜点，在这时他看到另外一种纸条从Tina的口袋滑到了地板上。

　　【分析】本句中的连词when是一个并列连词，表示在那时，在句中连接一个并列句。That引导的是一个宾语从句，作为动词observe的宾语，that可以省略。
