Question

    My wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的) restaurant to give it a try. As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn't aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.

After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next , Debra said. "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn't listen.

That was not the end ofit. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $ 100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother's.With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers.I left the waiters and waitresses a tip that would cover all ofour meals and we were on our way.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者与妻子在素食餐馆吃饭时遇见了Debra, 他们对她表现出的善意让Debra坚持为他们付饭钱。这件事之后，作者每到新的餐馆吃饭，就会把这种善意传递下去，请别人吃饭。

1.推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话“After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in.”可知Debra出去几分钟后，和妈妈一起进了餐厅，由此可以推断Debra出去是为了将妈妈带过来。选A项。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段“Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.”以及第三段的“Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted”可知尽管作者和妻子拒绝了，Debra坚持要为他们付饭钱。选C项。

3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers.”可知服务员看到作者他们之间的交流后流泪了，故选D项 touched（受触动的，感动的）。

4.推理判断题。根据第一段中“She wasn’t aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat.”可知这是Debra第一次进那个素食餐馆，后文“With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers.”可知服务员感动于陌生人之间的善意，综合上下文可知这是作者和Debra第一次见面，故选C项。
