阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers.Our car looked like a flower shop inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and then my wife noticed the cupboard. It was tall and narrow, and it stood outside a furniture shop.“Buy it, ” she said at once.“We'll carry it home on the roofrack(行李架).I’ve always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was £20 poorer, and the cupboard was tied on to the roofrack.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, ”There is a long line of cars behind.Why don't they overtake, I wonder? ” In fact a police car did overtake.The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed.But then with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic.The police car stopped at our village church.One of the officers came to me. I was puzzled.“Thanks, officer, ” I said.“You’ve been very kind.I have just down the road.” He was staring at our load:first at the flowers, then at the cupboard.“Well, well, ” he said, laughing, “It's a cupboard you’ve got here! We thought it was…er, something else.” My wife began to laugh.Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes.I smiled at the officer.“Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could. |
