Question

I am usually in a bad mood after a long day at work, but on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood．I planned to have a good meal and watch Bridget Jones’s Diary.
My local supermarket is always busy．The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while．I let her have it．On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.
In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air．In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒车) into a parking space.
Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier．I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.
As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me．“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (犹豫地)．“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused．“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy．My mom had a dress just like that.”
    She looked at me meaningfully．I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes．“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window．Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (无意识地)．“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.
    After a pause, I opened the box．Inside was a beautiful gold necklace．It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.
    Later, I thought back on the day．I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion．The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

Answer

【小题】C

【小题】A

【小题】B

【解析】

1.1】由文章第一段中的on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood以及后面几段描述的作者把停车位让给别人，给一个露宿者钱等事情，可知C选项的描述与此一致。
2.2】根据第六段中的I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes，可知作者当时穿的那条裙子是有洞的，故可推断，作者的生活并不是富裕的。
3.3】通读全文，可知作者在那天连续做了几件好事，结果一个陌生人送了她一条金项链，可知这是好心有好报，故选B。
