日本一公园售票员免收外国游客门票致千万日元损失
A worker at a popular garden in the heart of Tokyo has cost the facility millions of yen because he was “too frightened” to ask foreign visitors to pay the admission fee.
The unnamed man, who has since retired, said he had stopped collecting admission fees of 200 yen for adults and 50 yen for children since April 2014, and had continued to allow foreign visitors in free of charge for about two and a half years. As a result, about 160,000 people entered the garden without paying. It had lost at least 25 million yen in total.
The man said that being yelled at by a non-Japanese visitor years ago had made him wary of overseas guests. “I don’t speak any other language and I got scared when a foreigner began yelling at me a long time ago,” he said. The man handed out tickets without charging for them, then asked a colleague with access to the garden’s database to cancel the sales so there would be no difference between recorded and actual revenue(总收入).
The ruse(诡计) worked until late December 2016 when another member of staff saw him behaving strangely when issuing a ticket to a foreign visitor and reported it to management. The man’s salary was cut off 10%. He asked to take retirement and offered to return half of his retirement bonus, about 300,000 yen.
1.Mr and Mrs Green go to the garden with their 15-year-old son, they should pay ______.
A 150 yen
B 300 yen
C 450 yen
D 600 yen
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句The unnamed man, who has since retired, said he had stopped collecting admission fees of 200 yen for adults and 50 yen for children since April 2014, and had continued to allow foreign visitors in free of charge for about two and a half years. 可知成人门票是200日元，小孩是50日元，因此两个大人和一个小孩应该花费450日元买门票，故选C。
2.The ruse worked because _______.
A the man could get access to the sales data
B another staff person helped the man to cancel the sales
C the man worked alone without any monitor
D all workers supported the man
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句The man handed out tickets without charging for them, then asked a colleague with access to the garden’s database to cancel the sales so there would be no difference between recorded and actual revenue.可知那位工作人员免费发放门票一直没被发现是因为另一位可以接触到销售数据的工作人员帮助他删除了对应的销售记录，因此实际门票收入才能和电脑上的销售数据保持一致，故选B。
3.What does the underlined word “wary” mean in Chinese?

解析：选A。推理判断题。根据全文内容：日本一公园工作人员向外国人免费发放门票导致公园遭受重大损失，可知这是有关于旅游方面的报道，应该出现在旅游栏目，故选A。
