Question

A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him round. Thinking nothing of it, he continued.
Finally, he went to the check-out line, but the old lady got in front of him. "Excuse me," she said, "I’m sorry if my staring at(盯著看) you has made you feel uncomfortable,it’s just because you look like my son, whom I haven’t seen for a long time"
"What a pity," replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "as I’m leaving, can you say ’Good bye, mother’? It would make me feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man. So, when the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, mother !"
As he stepped up to the check-out counter(收銀臺), he saw that his total was $127. 50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only buy a few things!"
The clerk replied, "Your mother said that you would pay for her. "

Answer 1

ACBAC
1.根據(jù)文中第一句話“A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things…”可知這位年輕人去買東西。故選A。
2.從第二段的第一句話“Finally, he went to the check-out line, but the old lady got in front of him.”可得知選C。
3.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容，那位女士在收銀臺讓這個(gè)年輕人給她叫母親，離開的時(shí)候沒有付款，而是讓年輕人替他付款，讓收銀員誤認(rèn)為她真是他的母親。所以這位女士不是一個(gè)誠實(shí)的人，故選B。
4.通過倒數(shù)第二段中“he saw that his total was $127. 50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only buy a few things!"”可知這個(gè)年輕人很驚訝，超出了他的預(yù)料。故選A。
5.通過文中最后一句話“The clerk replied, "Your mother said that you would pay for her. "”可知這位年輕人也要為那位女士付錢，那位女士什么都沒付。故選C。
