smiled and walked on. ”可知，当别人对Chajam说脏话 时，他不在乎，只是微笑。因此选D.

测，这个人很不理解Chajam面对别人的脏话仍然保持 微笑的行为。此处B项符合语境。

3. C 细节理解题。由第五段“Then he found an old jacket.He threw it to the man and said, ‘ Try it,and it will suit you. ’”可知，Chajam把这个穿戴很好的人带到脏房间 后，让他穿一件旧夹克衫。C项符合题意。

障碍句分析：

  It was so worn-out that it even had some holes in it.它是如此的破旧，甚至上面有一些破洞。

  “so +形容词或副词+ that”引导结果状语从句，意思是 “如此……以至于……”。如果主句谓语动词是be动词，so 后用形容词;若为实义动词，则用副词。
