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。

It was a bad time for me. I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily(不整洁地). Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail(扶手) to lean against.

That’s when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. ‘Wow!’ I thought. Out loud I said, Do I look that old and tired?” She replied, “You look like you’ve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, walking past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction(毒瘾) problems, asked my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!

Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadnt chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

That’s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled(谦卑的) and encouraged at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

Sharing Beauty

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.

I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.

When she got outside I said to her, Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.

For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.

Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.

One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.

Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, God is in his heaven and all is right with the world, and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

【1】The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.

A. admire the sunset

B. cheer her up

C. offer some help

D. have a chat

【2】 Four years later, the author______.

A. found her dream job

B. put an end to her marriage

C. worked in a laundry room

D. lived in the same community

【3】 After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably ______.

A. disappointed

B. puzzled

C. inspired

D. overjoyed
