With some difficulty, Palladis detached Balintore from an apparently enthralling discussion and guided him through a turbulent throng to the Landrover on the other side of the street. They got in, and Palladis pressed the starter. But the noise of the engine had the effect of a bugle calling obedient soldiers to the parade-ground. As soon as it was heard, the crowd surrounded the car with confused cries, disorderly singing, and a few urgent demands for a speech.
Moving very slowly, Palladis reached the end of the village without accident; and by then the crowd had diminished. But when he began to drive a little faster, a reckless boy tried to run in front of him; and tripped and fell. To avoid him. Palladis swerved abruptly to the right and crossed the road at an angle of sixty degrees. With a violent tug on the wheel, he straightened his course, but skidded on a grass verge and slid in to a deep ditch.
In a moment, the crowd was at full strength again, and now many voices rose in commiseration and as many shouted contrary advice. Willing hands tried to heave and haul the Landrover on to the road, and others, equally willing, labored to push it deeper into the ditch. With some difficulty, Balintore and Palladis got out of the steeply tilted car. There were loud exclamations of sympathy and horror when it was seen that both were bleeding freely from cuts on forehead or cheekbone. But Palladis quickly took charge, and organized a working party that succeeded with some difficulty, pulling the Landrover on to level ground.
The off-side front wheel, however, was no longer parallel with its neighbor. The car could not be driven, but would have to be pushed or towed. And for this additional labor, the villagers were more than willing; they were eager to help and prove their continuing goodwill.
Palladis and Balintore got in again, and as many as could lay a hand on the disabled car shoved and pulled it on an irregular course to the house. Those who were not pushing or pulling encouraged the others with loud cries and an occasional broke chorus. The noise they made brought Honoria out to see what was happening. (376 words)
To compare Balintore with Palladis, what do we learn from their behaviors?
选项
A、Balintore was kinder to the villagers than Palladis.
B、Balintore was more patient than Palladis.
C、Palladis was not as polite to the villagers as Balintore.
D、Palladis was more in control of the situation than Balintore.
答案
D
解析
文章一开始就指出Palladis抓住时机把Balintore拉走。第二段讲述他为了避让孩子,急转车子不幸掉进了沟里。第三段讲的是Balintore在从汽车里钻出来后,立即组织群众把汽车拉到路上。这一切都证明了他会把握时机进行工作,故选D。
