    Dwight W. Morrow was an American ambassador (大使) to Mexico   during the 1920s. He is remembered as a smart diplomat (精明的外交家).   He is also remembered by his family and friends for one of his   absent-mindedness (心不在焉).

    Once while on a train, a conductor came to Morrow, asking for his   ticket. He began to search his pockets. No ticket appeared. Morrow   began searching his suitcase (行李箱). "Never mind, sir," said the   conductor, seeing how anxious Morrow was becoming and trying to   comfort him. "When you find your ticket just post it to the station.   I'm sure you have it somewhere."

    "I'm sure, too," said the diplomat as he continued his search.   "But I must find it. I need to know where I'm going!"

    Another time Morrow got off a train in New York and hurried to a   telegraph office, where, feeling not unlike a small boy who had got   lost, he sent the following to his secretary, "I am in New York but   don't know why."

 (3)Morrow was very upset when he couldn't find the ticket       because ______.                   [  ]      A. he had forgotten where he was going      B. he would be punished if he couldn't show his ticket      C. the conductor looked impatient      D. the conductor might think he was lying
