第二篇

I was blind,but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all,I was a teenager girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads,coming across me wandering through the traffic,motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening,I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses,and as usual I ran into something."I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time,I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop,which was a request stop,where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation,because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help,I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.
选项 What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A:Other vehicles also stopped there.
B:It was unreliable for making judgments.
C:More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D:It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
答案B
解析本文第一句提到：“I was blind , but I was ashamed of it if it is known.”我是盲人，但我羞于让人知道这一点。说明她认为被人发现是盲人会很难为情。所以选D项。
由第二段第三句“When it happened a third time , I realized I had been 叩ologizing to a lamppost.”可知她不小心撞到了电线杆上。所以选C项。
根据最后一段可知，她因害怕拦错车使自己难堪，所以放弃拦车。故选 C项。
根据第三段的“I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.”和第四段的“But because I had given up stop-ping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by”可知，根据声音来判断车辆是不可靠的。故选B项。
从“I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself。”可知，她本人不想拦车了，又根据“manage to swallow my pride and ask for someone at the stop for help”, 她决定找人帮忙了，但本站没有人，去下一站当然是希望在那里可以找到人帮忙。
