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 (懷孕的). 1 told them that they should just keep searching (搜尋) 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.
小題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
小題2:When the writer told him to keep searching, the young husband____________            .
A．was very happyB．continued to ask other questions
C．thanked him and drove awayD．said nothing and drove away
小題3:We can reach a conclusion from the passage that______________ .
A．the writer didn’t agree with his wife
B．the writer’s wife was a kind person as well
C．the writer had no trouble finding the young couple
D．the young couple found a room in a hotel in the end

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B

小題1:本文第一段倒數(shù)第二句為my wife and I are trying to find a room for the night and every place in the area seems to be filled up.所表示的含義為年輕的夫婦晚上找一間房但是找不到，故本題選A。
小題2:本文第二段有兩句為1 told them that they should just keep searching (搜尋) 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.所表示的含義為作者叫年輕的夫婦繼續(xù)找房子，他們沒(méi)有說(shuō)任何話就走了，故本題選D。
小題3:本文的最后提到作者的妻子最后找到了他們，給他們提供了一間房間，隨意我們說(shuō)作者的妻子是善良的，故本題選B。
