One day, when my wife and I were leaving a restaurant, I heard a man’s voice from a car in the car-park. After a quick look at the ear, 1 noticed the Pennsylvania license plate (牌照) at once, so I knew they had come from far away. The young man had his head partly out of the window and spoke to me as I moved closer, "Excuse me, my wife and I are trying to find a room for the night and every place in the area seems to be filled up. Do you have any suggestions for us where we might find a room?"
Well, that didn’t surprise me. After all, it was the busy time of the year for tourism. As he spoke, I noticed that his wife was pregnant (***的). 1 told them that they should just keep searching (搜寻) and wished them good luck in their search. The young husband didn’t say any other word and backed out of the car-park and headed off. We also got into our car and drove home.
After a short drive, I couldn’t get this young couple out of my mind. Here they were, traveling in a different state, tired, the wife pregnant. It was at that moment that my wife told me we needed to go back and find that couple. We went back and looked for them. We even went as fat as the mountain. I’m happy that this story had a happy ending. We found them in the end, gave them a room, and now we are close friends.
小题1:The main problem the young couple had was that they couldn’t_______________.
A. find a place for the night B. find a doctor
C, find their way D. afford to stay at a hotel
小题2:When the writer told him to keep searching, the young husband____________ .| A．was very happy | B．continued to ask other questions | | C．thanked him and drove away | D．said nothing and drove away |
