One Sunday morning, when I was driving along a road, I saw something I couldn’t believe. A little girl, who was less than two years old, was pushing her stroller (婴儿车) across the road. The traffic was not heavy that morning.
I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.
Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying “bad girl” to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.
I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. “Do you feel cold, Mom?” asked my son. I just shook my head.
After this happened, I thought about how thankful I am. Even though the father didn’t say “Thank you”, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it’s only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
I didn’t really “save” her, but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.
小题1: The little girl ran away from the author because _____.| A．she wanted to look for her father | | B．she wanted to stay on the road | | C．she needed to catch her stroller | | D．she didn’t know the author at all |
小题2:When the author saw the little girl, _____.| A．there weren’t many cars on the road | | B．the girl feared to go across the road | | C．the girl had lost her way | | D．she was driving to work in a hurry |

小题4:Why were the author’s hands shaking?| A．Because the weather was very cold at that time. | | B．Because she failed to be understood by the girl’s father. | | C．Because she was not feeling well. | | D．Because she was too excited to keep calm. |
