5.One Thursday evening,I was trying to parallel-park on a busy street in the city centre.Despite moving back neatly into position between two cars,I was still quite a way from the edge of the pavement.I spent a few minutes inching backwards and forwards but failed to get any closer to it.I was starting to panic,worrying that I'd be late meeting my daughter,when a young man of about 25got out of the car behind me and knocked on my window.

I gratefully accepted.Taking my handbag with me,I jumped out of the car and handed him my keys.As I watched,he drove the car out into the busy traffic before moving back and parking with swift precision."Thank you so much,"I said excitedly.
While it was a simple act of kindness for this young man to perform,I felt it was quite an unusual thing to occur these days.He politely refused further thanks and hurried away.I related this story to my daughter over dinner and then we went to the Pop Up Theatre to see Hamlet.Sitting in the theatre later,imagine my surprise when the actor playing Rosencrantz-or was it Guildenstern?-turned out to be the same young man.
I have seen him in a few other local productions since then.Although I can't remember his name,he'll always be the kind young man who parked the car for me.

B.Her daughter would be late for school.
C.She might fail to meet her daughter in time.

A.She refused it at first.
B.She felt extremely embarrassed.
C.She hesitated about it.
D.She thankfully accepted it.
27.What do we know about the actor?A
