听力材料：

　　Sam had worked 30 years for the same companyand now he had to retire. [26]As a sign ofgratitude, the company held a dinner in his honor."Sam," announced his boss, "It is my great honorto present this gift to you on behalf of thecompany." Sam walked down to the front of thetable and accepted the gift with pride. It was a gold watch and on it was written "To faithfulSam for 30 years of Service." [27]Sam wept, "I am at a loss for words." At home, Sam's wifelooked at the gold watch critically. [28]"For this you worked 30 years? A cheap gold-platedwatch?" "It's the thought, dear," answered Sam. "The important thing is that I am not workingany more." His wife held the gold watch to her ear and said: "Neither is your watch."

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　26. What did the company do to honor Sam?

　　正确答案：C

　　解析：题目询问公司做了什么事以表达对Sam的尊敬。关键是要听到“为了表示感谢，公司为Sam举行了一场晚宴”，即C。公司为Sam举行了一场晚宴，而不是邀请他参加晚会，故A不正确;B、D在文中均未提及。

　　27. How did Sam feel when he saw what was written on the watch?

　　正确答案：D

　　解析：题目询问当Sam看到手表上面的字时，心里是什么感受。关键是要听到“Sam流着眼泪说：‘我不知道说什么才好’。”说明他深受感动，即D。embarrassed“尴尬的，难堪的”;encouraged“被鼓励的”;sad“悲哀的”，均与原文不符。

　　28. What can we infer from the story?

　　正确答案：A

　　解析：题目询问根据故事内容我们可以推断出什么。关键是要听到Sam的妻子说“你就是为这块便宜的镀金手表工作了30年吗?”和“你这块手表也不工作了(不走了)。”可以看出她对Sam公司的做法很不满，觉得公司对Sam不公平，故答案为A。B项与Sam妻子的实际感觉恰好相反，选项C、D的内容文中均未提及。
