ill just backtrack the way i came.”i started driving. nothing looked familiar, but at first that didnt bother me since id never been to this neighborhood before. i kept driving, and soon i sensed that something was wrong. i recognized nothing, not the neighborhoods, not even the street names. my husband would be worried about me. i looked down at my watch. it was now 2:30. id left work at 11:30 pm.i stopped my car. i thought id better take stock of my situation. my gas gauge (汽油量表) was slowly going down. in total defeat i put my head down on the steering wheel and asked for help. i lifted my head. i saw a shadow down the road in front of me. it was a car. what was a car doing in the middle of nowhere at 2:30 in the morning?hesitantly, i got out of my car and knocked on the window of the other car. an elderly man slowly rolled his window down.i said, “im lost and dont know how to get back into town.”in silence, he started driving. i drove behind him.finally i recognized a familiar street. as i turned to head home, i lost sight of my guiding angel. when i pulled into my driveway the warning light for my gas tank turned on.66. the first paragraph tells us that the writer _.a. lived near her workplaceb. used to go home by busc. worked in a womans hospitald. had been working at night for a week67. why did the writer stop her car?a. to consider and judge the situation.b. to check whether there was gas.c. to prevent the car breaking down.d. to turn to somebody for help.68. how did the old man help the writer?a. he told her the way to the town.b. he led her by driving in front.c. he called the police to help her. d. he sent her to her home with his car.69. when the writer got home, _.a. she thanked the old man very muchb. her husband was waiting for her anxiouslyc. the oil in her car was just going to run outd. she was totally frozen on the cold night70. what might be the suitable title for the passage?a. keep up and you will succeed at last. b. meeting a friendly old man in trouble. c. giving a ride to my coworker at night. d. losing my way on a cold winter night.dgrowing up in the usa, i was ashamed of my mothers chinese english. because of her english, she was often treated unfairly. people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.my mother has realized the limitations of her english as well. when i was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend i was her. i was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. one time i had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). i said in a young voice that was not very convincing, “this is mrs. tan.”and my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “why he dont send me cheek already two week lone.”and then, in perfect english i said: “im getting rather concerned .you agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”then she talked more loudly. “what he want? i come to new york tell him front of his boss.” and so i turned to the stockbroker again, “i cant tolerate any more excuse. if i dont receive the check immediately, i am going to speak to your manager when i am in new york next week.”the next week we ended up in new york. while i was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken english. when i was a teenager, my mothers broken english embarrassed me. but now, i see it differently. to me, my mothers english is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. it is my mother tongue. her language, as i hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. it was the language that helped shape the way i saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.71 why was the authors mother poorly served?a. she was too shy to speak clearlyb.
