A．whenB．asC．beforeD．while

分析 在公共汽车最后来之前，约翰在公交站头已等了将近半个小时了．

点评 本题考查时间状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结合语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项的意思，

He went downstairs where his mother and two sisters were washing up the tea things in kitchen．"These new trousers are too long．"he said"They need shortening by two inches．Would one of you mind doing this for me？"His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything．
But as soon as his mother had finished washing up，she went quietly upstairs to her son's bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches．She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters．

The younger sister went to the cinema，but when she came back，she also remembered what her brother had said．So she ran upstairs with her scissors，needle，and thread，and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers．

2．Last Christmas，when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade，our school held its yearly Holiday Shop．At the Holiday Shop students can buy things like necklaces，key chains，and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts．Since my brother really wanted to take part，my mom gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts．
My mom didn't know that he had picked out a special necklace for her．When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day，he couldn't wait to show it to me．He pulled out a little green box and opened it．Inside was a golden chain with golden letters that spelled out："Grandmother"．
"Wow!"I said．"It's beautiful．"Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read，he didn't realize that the necklace said"Grandmother"instead of"Mother"．I knew that on Christmas morning，when he found out he had bought the wrong necklace，he would be unhappy，so I said nothing more about it．My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from Mom until Christmas morning．
When he wasn't looking，I took the necklace and put it in my backpack．The next day I took it to school and asked the woman who ran the Holiday Shop if I could change it for the"Mother"necklace．She said yes．When I got home that day，I put the necklace under my brother's bed．
When my mom opened it up on Christmas morning，my brother was so  exalted!My mom's eyes were filled with joy．She knew what had happened，which made the necklace even more special to her!

3．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin； I wasn't a good student； I talked too much； I was too proud and so on．I tried to bear all these things as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked，"Are the things she said true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you are really like？Well，you now have the girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said，mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half of the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it，"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just closing your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something that is said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Don't shut your ears．Listen to other people's opinions，but hear the truth and do what you think is right．"
