Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Arm Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of hex route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a Very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can’t leave you here," she said. "This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home."
"You’ll drive me home on the bus?" I asked, perplexed(困惑的).
"No, I’ll take you in my car," she said.
"It’s a long way," I protested(抗议,反对).
"Come on," she said. "I have nothing else to do."
As we drove from the station in her ear, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. "I’m just passing the favor along," she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. "That wouldn’t make it a favor," she said. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along."
选项
A、He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.
B、No driver would give him a ride.
C、He didn’t know the mutes.
D、He perhaps would have to take a taxi.
答案
A
解析
文章一开始交代自己的车在路上抛锚,找不到便车,只好坐公共汽车;然后交代自己坐上公共汽车,但还得转乘另一趟公交车。然后作者说:This clearly was going to be a long night。由这些内容及常识可以推知作者这么说的原因就是不知道自己要到什么时候才能换乘到那趟公交车,选[A]。
