1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段and waiting for travelers to ask him to help them with their luggage,描述，可知這個(gè)搬運(yùn)工人的工作是幫助人們搬運(yùn)行李。故選C。

2.推理判斷題。聯(lián)系前文“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London, porter?” 描述，可知這個(gè)人擔(dān)心的是，自己是否能趕上10:35的火車。故選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)because I don’t know how fast you can run along rails. 描述，可知這個(gè)老搬運(yùn)工是在給這個(gè)人開玩笑。故選A。
