The journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o’clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late. I walked around the house many times over, checking to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found everything looked unfamiliar(不熟悉的) to me. I began to have a feeling of nervousness mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep(陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I thought I had to stop the car for a moment to think carefully.
I stopped my car and walked out of it. On the one side of the road, small trees grew closely together, while on the other I could now see the countryside far away and a town nearby.
I waked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and gave me a sign to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine.
1.Why did the writer set off later than planned?
A. Because he checked the house again and again.
B. Because he was feeling sad about leaving the house.
C. Because packing his backpack took longer than expected.
D. Because there was no one to help him get everything ready.
2.What caused the writer to start driving more slowly?
A. He wanted to look at the beautiful hill carefully.
B. He suddenly feared that he might get lost.
C. The road became steeper and steeper.
D. He realized he was driving too fast.
3.What can we infer about the white-haired man?
A. He was surprised to see the writer. B. He greatly enjoyed being alone.
C. He used to be homeless. D. He was a nature lover.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The writer’s purpose in starting the trip.
B. The writer’s courage in traveling alone.
C. The writer’s mixed feelings about his trip.
D. The writer’s experience of driving on the hill.
