Last June my brother wanted to buy a car.He had had an old one before,but it had broken down several times during the spring. “What you want is a secondhand car.”I suggested. “If you give me the money,”he said, “I'll get one tomorrow.” “I can’t give you the money,but what about Aunt Myra. ”I replied, “She must have enough.We haven’t seen her since Christmas but she always says that we should go and see her more often.”

We told our parents where we were going.They weren't very happy about it and asked us not to go.So we didn't.But later that same day something strange happened.A doctor rang to tell us that Aunt Myra had gone into hospital for an operation. “We can’t all go and see her at the same time,”said my mother. “you two go today,but don’t mention the money.”

When we got there,Aunt Myra  seemed quite happy. “I’m not seriously ill,”she said, “but the doctor insists that I’m getting too old to drive my car.You can have it if you promise to take me to the seaside now and again.”We agreed,and now we quite enjoy our monthly trips to the coast with Aunt Myra.

　　I hitched (钩住) the traveling-can containing the food on to the carrier．I rolled the bicycle the short distance from the house to the road while Edna in a green-and-red dress walked beside me．Mounting the vehicle with the can on the back and Edna on the cross-bar proved a little tricky; but I am rather good with bicycles．I solved the problem by getting on the seat first and keeping the bicycle stationary with one foot resting firmly on the ground．Then Edna climbed on the bar sitting sideways;and I pushed off．The excitement of having her so close within my arms and the perfume of her hair in my nose would have proved overpowering if I'd had much time to consider it．I hadn't．The road to the hospital turned out to be quite hilly, not steep but just enough to take the wind out of one; and with the kind of passenger I had, I didn't care to admit too readily (爽快地) to being tired．So I raced up all the little hillocks until my heart raged like a bonfire (篝火) which was very stupid of me．

　　“You are very strong,” said Edna．

　　“Why?” I said, or rather out of breath, in one enormous expiration (呼气) as I rounded the summit of yet another small hill．

　　“You are eating all the hills like yam (山药)．”

　　“I haven't seen any hill yet,” I replied, getting back some

of my breath as I pedaled (踩自行车踏板) freely down the small, friendly descent that followed．These words were hardly out of my mouth when a stupid sheep and her four or five lambs rushed out of the roadside on my left．I braked sharply．Unfortunately Edna's back was resting on my left arm and prevented me applying the brake on that side effectively．So only the brake on the front wheel performed fully．The bicycle pitched (直冲) forward and crashed on the road．She was thrown farther up the road and as soon as I got up, I rushed to help her to her feet again．Without taking my eyes from the food I murmured that I was very sorry．

　　“It was not your fault,” she said．“It was the stupid sheep．”

　　Then I noticed with the corner of my eyes something that was bending down．I turned then and saw where she had grazed (擦伤) her knee on the road．

　　“Oh dear,” I said, “Edna, I am sorry．”

She left her frock (长袍) which she had held up a little at the knee and came to dust my shoulder where my new white shirt carried a thick patch of indelible (洗不掉的) red-earth．Then she bent down and picked up the traveling-can and began to wipe away the sand, and the spilt soup with green leaves．To my surprise she was crying and saying something like “ My mother will die of hunger today．” Actually I think her crying was probably due to hurt pride because the food lying on the road showed how poor her family was．But I may be wrong．At the time, I was greatly upset．

　　“Can she manage bread and corned (盐腌的) beef?” I asked．“We could buy some outside the hospital．”

　　“I haven't brought any money,” said Edna．

　　“I have some money,” I said, feeling the first breath of relief since the accident happened．“And we could get some disinfectant (消毒剂) for your knee．I'm terribly sorry, my dear．”

1．We can infer that, at the beginning of the passage, the writer had just________．

[　　]

A．offered to marry Edna

B．lied to her

C．offered to take some food to her mother in hospital

D．offered to give Edna a lift to visit her mother in hospital

2．The way the writer rode his bicycle over the hills shows that ________．

[　　]

A．he was very strong

B．Edna was so attractive that he couldn't concentrate

C．he wanted to impress Edna

D．he was not very observant

3．The accident could probably have been avoided if ________．

[　　]

A．he had not braked sharply

B．both brakes had worked properly

C．he had not been so busy admiring Edna

D．he had looked when he was going

4．Why was Edna crying?

[　　]

A．She had hurt her knee．

B．She thought that her mother would have to go hungry that day．

C．The food lying on the road showed her family was poor．

D．We cannot be sure．

5．After the accident the writer was________．
