新疆伊犁州特克斯县2024年中考一模英语试题
Richard is a trader and he is very mean (吝啬) with his money. One day, Richard went to a noodle house for lunch. He asked, "How much is a bowl of beef noodles?" The boss answered, "8 dollars." Richard asked again, "What about the beef soup?" "For free." said the boss. Richard said at once, "OK! Give me a bowl of soup, please." After drinking, Richard wiped (擦) his mouth and left.
Richard came to drink the free soup in the following three days. That made the boss a little angry. On the fifth day, when Richard came for the free soup again. The boss said angrily, "Today the prices are not the same as before. 8 dollars for noodles and 16 dollars for the soup!" Richard thought for a while and said, "OK! I need a bowl of beef noodles and an empty bowl."
The boss gave Richard what he ordered. To his surprise, Richard poured the soup into the empty bowl and only ate the noodles. Then he said to the boss, "I had a bowl of noodles for 8 dollars, but I didn't drink the soup. Now you have to give me 8 dollars back."
