I couldnt reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought Id just go east.A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going. “Ten more miles,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver.“I just cant leave you here,” she said. “This isnt the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”“You will drive me home on the bus?” I asked, astonished.“No, I will take you in my car,” she said.“Its a long way,” I insisted.“Come on,” she said, “I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in the car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “Im just passing the favor（善意的行为） along,” she said.When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldnt accept. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along,” she said.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（ ）1. There was something wong with the writers car _.A. late at nightB. early in the morningC. an hour before sunsetD. thirty minutes after sunset（ ）2.

Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount（数量） of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（ ）6.
