     Anna arrived far too early. Usually she left things to the last minute, but today was a very special occasion
(场合). It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand that she hoped to cause the plane to arrive
sooner. Thoughts raced through her mind. "Do I look all right? Will he notice that I'm wearing a new suit? Will
he even recognize (认出) me?" After all, it was a year almost to the day since she had last seen Joe. She fished
a mirror out of her handbag and inspected her face. Too much make-up? Joe had never made any comment
but she knew that he did not approve of (赞成) heavy make-up-"gilding the lily (锦上添花)", he called it. It was
funny how much importance she attached to making a good impression on him. After all, friends do not judge
each other by appearance. All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted
everything to go off right.
     Looking out of the window, Joe caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds of the town far below.
This was his third visit, and looked like becoming an annual (每年的) event. Certainly it was very flattering (高
兴的) that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again. The Chairman of
the Organizing Committee, as a matter of courtesy, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done
previous occasions. This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the
city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to come and meet him.
1. Anna looked in her mirror because _____.
A. she wanted to make a good impression on Joe
B. she knew that Joe disapproved of heavy make-up
C. she had too much make-up on
D. she wanted to check that her new suit was alright
2. Anna thought that Joe might not recognize her because _____.
A. she was wearing a new suit
B. he had not seen her for about a year
C. he might expect someone else to meet him
D. she had changed a lot in the past year
3. When did Anna get to the airport?
A. Shortly after the plane had arrived.
B. At the last possible minute.
C. Just before the plane was due to land.
D. About an hour earlier.
4. How many times had Joe been to this town?
A. Three times before.
B. Twice before.
C. Four times.
D. Several times before.
5. Joe did not want the Chairman to meet him because _____.
A. the Chairman was not willing to meet him
B. he was not sure which day he would travel
C. he feared that might cause a lot of trouble to the Chairman
D. he thought that Anna would be there to meet him
