Harry put on his act of being()annoyed A.slightly B.little C.barely Dgrossly 选哪个请解释？
选了三个小故事.两个是伊索寓言.另一个是讲美国第一任总统华盛顿关于诚实的故事"樱桃树".
1.The Wolf And The Lamb
A WOLF meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The Dog And The Shadow
A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.

3.The Cherry Tree
WHEN George Washington was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping everything that came his way.
One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea- sticks, he found a beautiful, young English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.
Some time after this, his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything about it.
Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the room.
"George," said his father, "do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have taken five guineas for it!"
This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he cried: --
"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet."
The anger died out of his father's face, and taking the boy tenderly in his arms, he said: --
"My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees! yes, though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!"

选择B，做定语从句，修饰 coincidences。
Harry put on his act of being( )annoyed. 括号里面选择A。
slightly是副词修饰形容词annoyed，表示“有点儿”，程度不是很深。
一. 句子的翻译：
哈利装出有点生气的样子。
二. 分析四个选项：
A. slightly，/ˈslaɪtli/ ；
adv. 稍微，轻微地；（指某人身材）纤弱地，瘦小地；
解释：这里既然是装出来，肯定是有点生气，是轻微地生气；
B. little， /ˈlɪt(ə)l/ ；
adj. 小的，比较小的；用于强调对某人或某物的意见；年幼的；短暂的，近的；微不足道的；可爱的，可怜的；
det. 一点儿，少得几乎没有；少量的，一些；
adv. 极少，轻微；几乎不；短时间地，一会儿地；
解释：little不能修饰形容词annoyed，只能修饰不可数名词；a little可以修饰形容词。
C. barely， /beli/ ；
adv. 勉强才能；几乎不，几乎没有；刚刚；仅仅，只有；贫乏地，光秃秃；<古>公开地，不加掩饰地；
解释：barely是构成否定句，放在助动词后面，实义动词的前面；不能否定形容词。
D. grossly， /ˈɡrəʊsli/；
adv. 很；非常；
解释：这里是装出来的，不可能是程度那么深，因为grossly表示的是极其，非常的意思。
三. 句子重点词组：
put on an act，装腔，装模作样；
例句：
He put on an act, which showed him up completely.
他这番表演，真可谓淋漓尽致。
Louisa put on an act, pretending she did not care about him in the least.
路易莎装腔作势，装出她一点也不把他放在心上的样子。
Harry put on his act of being mildly annoyed.

Harry put on his act of being (slightly) annoyed.即选择A.句子意思是: 哈里装出有点扫兴的样子。
