13.Heidi looked across the road and saw three tired-looking people.One was older,in his 50s,about Dad's age.The others were his son and daughter-in-law.It had clearly been a long,hot day for them.To add to this,Heidi realized that they had discovered that the battery had been stolen from their car.They lived in Avondale,which was 25to 35miles away.Heidi went to see if she could help them or get them some help.She had the impression that they didn't have anyone else they could call.It seemed as if there was nothing she could do,so she got back into her car and started for home.
On the way,she couldn't stop thinking how terrible it must be for these folks who were essentially stranded.So she went into Pep Boys,an auto supply store.She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost.
The clerk asked:"What year?"Heidi replied:"Does it matter?"To which he replied that the year of the car mattered because the battery needed to fit the mounting(装备).So she guessed 1980-thinking,if it's within a year or two,the battery won't be that different.She paid about$40 for the battery,and because she didn't have another to trade in,there was an additional environmental fee of$10.
She took it to the folks who were,of course,still there.She told them that she just couldn't go home knowing that they had no way home.They were so surprised.Anyone would have been.The older gentleman told her that he had prayed for help.I guess Heidi was the answer to that prayer,he said.
Heidi had spent her whole day's earnings on the battery.When she told me her story,I asked:"Was it worth the day's work?"You know what she said,don't you?"Oh,yes."
51.The underlined word"stranded"in Paragraph 3probably meansB.
A.hurt B.having no way out C.disappointed D.having no plan
52.What did Heidi do when she saw they were in trouble?D
A.She decided to stay with them.
B.She called Pep Boys for help.
C.She offered to drive them home.
D.She bought a new battery for them.
53.How much did Heidi earn a day?A
A.$50 B.$40 C.$30 D.$10.
