The Closest Answer
Little Bob comes home from school with a new book under his arm.

"It's a prize, Mum." he says.
"A prize? What for, dear?" his mother asks.
"The teacher asks me how many legs an ostrich has and I say three."
"But an ostrich has only two legs." his mother says.
Bob says, "I know it now. But all the other pupils say four, so I am the closest."
(1) 选择正确的句子并打√号。
() An ostrich has two legs.
( ) An ostrich has three legs.
( ) The teacher is good at his job.
(2) 翻译文中画线句子。

(1)（√）An ostrich has two legs. (2)但是所有其他学生说四条，所以我是最接近的。

(1)根据文中"But an ostrich has only two legs."可知第一个句子正确；文中Bob说自己答three，但这是错误答案，第二个句子错误；文中未提及老师工作是否出色，第三个句子无法判断。(2)画线句子为"But all the other pupils say four, so I am the closest."，"all the other pupils"译为“所有其他学生”，"say four"译为“说四条”，"so"译为“所以”，"I am the closest"译为“我是最接近的”。


翻译:
### （1）
（√）鸵鸟有两条腿。
（ ）鸵鸟有三条腿。
（ ）这位老师很擅长他的工作。
### （2）
但是现在我知道了。不过其他所有学生都说四条腿，所以我的答案最接近。
