【題目】 At 12, my father decided to take me a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.

We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.

We reached the end of the line and felt frightened when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us. Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer(換乘) and he didn't want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.

What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to make them change their minds with this very story.

【1】What happened to the author and his family on the train?

A.They failed to get off the train at the right time.

B.They couldn't understand the signs of the train.

C.They had a quarrel about where to go first.

【2】How did the man help the author and his family?

A.By paying for their train tickets.

B.By showing them the return way.

C.By inviting them to travel together.

D.By leading them to where they wanted to be.

【3】What impressed the writer most about the old man?

A.His honestyB.His kindnessC.His gentlenessD.His happiness

【4】Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph?

A.Seeing is believing.B.Being kind is a good manner.

C.Traveling enriches one's life.D.Helping brings great pleasure.

【5】What's the purpose of the author's writing the passage?

A.To explain an unexpected problem.

C.To share an unforgettable foreign experience.

D.To show the importance of learning a foreign language.
