Question

阅读理解 　　It was about midday．I'd left work early in the morning to cash a check．I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks． 　　I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk．He had a really strange expression on his face－just sort of a blank(茫然的)stare．I thought he was looking at me until I realized he was staring over my shoulder． 　　I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor．Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks．They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol(手枪)． 　　Whether or not they said anything I can't remember to this day, or whether people just automatically(自动地)put their hands up I don't know．I put my hands up but I just didn't know what to do． 　　For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing．I was wondering who was on the other end of the line．Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet． 　　Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and clerks to start filling their bags with cash．While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on． 　　They jumped back over the counter．One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over．The other two swore at him again．Then they left through the door, warning us, “Don't move．Stay like that with your hands up for ten minute．” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence． (1) What does the writer mean by saying “…a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph? [　　] A． More customers than usual were staying in the bank． B． Fewer bank clerks than expected were working in the bank． C． There were usually more than a dozen customers in the bank． D． More banks should be open to serve customers in the city centre． (2) The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because ________． [　　] A． he was feeling upset at that moment． B． he felt puzzled and sensed something terrible． C． he was required to keep silent at work． D． he was threatened with a gun by robbers． (3) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
