問題詳情：
A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night. So she rented an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words: “Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance: $3,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”

【解析】本文介紹一個非常成功漂亮的女演員。她的家離市區很遠，於是她租了一棟昂貴的公寓，並請來一個粉刷工為她粉刷牆壁，為了讓粉刷工認真工作，她送給他去看演唱會的門票。演唱會結束後，這名粉刷匠給她一張紙條寫着：“觀看你的演唱會四小時價值3美元，但是我在下午五點以後一小時收費15先令。”
1．細節理解題。根據粉刷工紙條上的內容：Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance: $3“觀看Ball小姐唱歌跳舞四小時價值3美元。”可知Miss Ball是這個女演員。
2．細節理解題。根據She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her.“她希望這樣能使他更好的工作並更願意為她工作。”可知，是為了是他更高興。故選A。
3．細節理解題。根據He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month“他拿着票什麼也沒説，並且直到月末什麼也沒説。”可知，他拿到票就去看演唱會了。故選B。
