　　She handed me a five dollar bill through the car window, then turned and walked away．I don't know her name, nor where she was going ,but I know I will never forget that stranger who generously saved me from a lot of frustration(挫折)and prevented me from walking a mile or more to my destination．

　　When we finally were able to exit, we tried to find parking lots near the hosting hotel．But they were all full．Not expecting this, neither of us had brought change; all we had was a twenty dollar bill．When we did find some space in a lot two blocks away from the conference, we were unable to pay the automatic(自动)box for parking．So we needed five dollars．

　　We asked several people approaching the pay box if they could change a twenty．“No”,“No”were their answers．So, dejected, we walked back to our car, got inside, and started to back out．We were going to look for other parking spot on the street that would surely have taken us a longer distance away．

　　That day My husband, Leo, and I were already a half hour late for an important conference．We had taken the wrong fork in the expressway, and found ourselves stuck in traffic that was blocked for four miles due to a serious accident．

　　Just then, one tapped on the window on the passenger side．It was a short, medium-built woman, who was all bundled up in jacket and scarf, wearing jeans and boots．Surprised, I was reluctant, at first, to roll the window down．What could she possibly want? I lowered the window just enough to hear what the woman had to say．Through the window, she shoved a five dollar bill．“I don't have change,” she said, “but here is an extra five dollar bill．Use it to pay for your parking spot．” I was floored! Was this woman, whom I'd never seen before, actually giving me this much money? Yes, that was exactly what she was doing! She wouldn't take the check I offered her for the cash．She just walked away．

(1)

What kept the author and her husband from arriving on time?
[　　]
A．	They had a traffic accident．
B．	They took a wrong turning．
C．	Their car broke down half way．
D．	The traffic was heavy on the freeway．

(3)

[　　]

(4)

A．	She was frustrated for coming too late．

　　The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said good-bye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

　　The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

　　“No, sir,”the men answered.

　　The director was angry.“Why not?”he asked.

　　“Well, sir.”one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

　　“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

　　But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don't you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested,“and then play it backwards. It'll look like a sunset.”

　　“That's a very good idea!”the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

　　The camera crew went out early the next morning end filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director.“Here it is, sir.”they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

　　They all went into the studio (摄影棚).“All right.”the director explained.“Now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset’behind them.”

　　The“sunset”began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

　　A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study．“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts．I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it．Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

　　“Forty．”

　　“No, thirty．I made a note of it．I always pay our governess thirty．Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

　　“Two months and five days．”

　　“Exactly two months．I made a special note of it．That means you have sixty dollars coming to you．Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks．And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but－not a word．

　　“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars．Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(从事)only with Dick．Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch．Twelve and seven-nineteen．Take nineteen off…that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars．Correct?”

　　Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up．Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but－still not a word．

　　“Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars．The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but － forget it．When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten．Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes．You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it．So, that means five more dollars off．The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．”

　　“You didn't．” sobbed Julia．

　　“But I made a note of it．”

　　“Well…if you say so．”

　　“Take twenty seven from forty one－that leaves fourteen．”

　　Both her eyes were filled with tears．Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose．Poor girl!

　　“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife．Three dollars, nothing more．”

　　“Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen－that leaves eleven．Here's your money, my dear．Three, three, three, one and one．Here it is!”

　　I handed her eleven dollars．She took them and pocketed them．

　　“Merci(法语：谢谢),”she whispered．

　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room．I was overcome with anger．“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked．

　　“For the money．”

　　“But you know I've cheated you－robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

　　“In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．”

　　“They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you．．．I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you．．．Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)－to be such a fool?”

　　Embarrassed, she smiled．And I could read her expression, “It is possible．”

　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars．She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out．I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压榨)the weak in this world !”

(1)
