作者通过一件事情告诉大家勇气和诚实是一个人获得尊重的重要因素。
小题1:答案：B 当老师宣布我们七年级实地考察旅行的目的地是游乐园时，整个教室由于女孩们讨论她们要穿什么衣服和带什么样的东西而充满了兴奋的嗡嗡声。故excitement符合语境，意思是“激动，兴奋”。amazement“吃惊，惊奇”；disappointment“失望”；encouragement“鼓励”，均不符合语境。
小题2:答案：B “我”知道(knowing)“我”的父母没有钱让“我”参加这个活动，“我”只能坐在后面听。
小题3:答案：A 根据空后面的“to feel so leftout”可知，depressed“沮丧的，消沉的”符合语境。
小题4:答案：C Danny只告诉大家他不去了。simply“仅仅，只”，符合语境。
小题5:答案：D 当老师问他为什么不去时，Danny站起来陈述了原因。state的意思是“陈述，说明”，符合语境。
小题6:答案：A 根据文中的“too much money”“My dad hurt his back”以及“I can't ask my parents for money.”可以判断出Danny的父亲失业(out of work)了。
小题7:答案：C 根据8空后面的“those whispers”可以判断出，此处应用whispering。
小题8:答案：D 根据2空前面的“I sat back”可知，此处应用seat。
小题9:答案：A “Danny，我为你能理解你父母的处境(situation)而感到自豪。并不是每一个像你这么大的学生都有那样的能力。”20空前的situation是提示。
小题10:答案：B 参见上题解析。age“年龄”，符合语境。
小题11:答案：D 虽然(Although)在那天之后，并不是每个人都接纳了Danny。
小题12:答案：C 但他却赢得了我们中许多人的尊重。win over的意思是“获得，赢得”，故答案为C项。win back“重新获得”，win out“摆脱困境”。
小题13:答案：C be impressed by意思是“对……印象深刻”，符合语境。
小题14:答案：B 作者从来没有向他的朋友承认(admit)他没有钱去。
小题15:答案：C 根据上下文内容可知，这里表示“相反”的意思，故答案为C项。
小题16:.答案：D 相反，为了相处融洽，“我”向他们撒谎“我”为什么不能做那些事情，编造一个接一个的借口。fit in“相处融洽，适应”，符合语境。
小题17:答案：A 参见上题解析。come up with意思是“提出，想出”，符合语境。
小题18:答案：B Danny的自信使我们大家更容易(easier)理解……
小题19:答案：C 根据语境可知，他的父母拥有什么或没有什么，这并不能决定(determine)他是谁。
小题20:答案：D 与其说是Danny出色的外表，倒不如说是他的勇气和诚实，使他成为“我”永远无法忘记的人。more...than...的意思是“与其说……倒不如说……”。故答案为D项。
