Question

【題目】

It was raining hard and nearing dark. I was late for an appointment (預(yù)約) in a nearby city that I know only by GPS. And now my phone has died. The usual exits (出口) were closed. I didn't know how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I might not make it there.

I stopped at a KFC in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter.

“I'm sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I'm lost?” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky she had her phone, for it was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.

The young girl and the mother didn't pay me much attention when I made a call. The appointment told me how to get there by another road.

Before I left. suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash (現(xiàn)金) and pulled out all I had, a $20 bill. I gave it into the mother's hand and then turned to leave quickly. I heard her daughter calling after me, “Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” And yet, they really helped me.

【1】The writer asked the mother and her daughter for help because his phone didn't work.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中And now my phone has died. I stopped at a KFC in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter. “I’m sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I'm lost?”可知，作者的手機(jī)是沒有電了而不是壞了，所以這里的描述是錯(cuò)誤的，故填F。

I gave it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly.。可知那個(gè)婦女的手機(jī)也因?yàn)榧磳⑶焚M(fèi)而停機(jī)，說作者幸運(yùn)，是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在手機(jī)還能夠使用，并不是作者有足夠的錢來付話費(fèi)，所以這里的描述是錯(cuò)誤的，故填F。
