A、Tommadeagoodimpressiononthegirlatfirst.

B、ItwasthefirsttimethatTomhaddatedagirl.

C、Tomwasblind.

D、Tomwashandsemeandpopularwiththegirls.

【正确答案】A

【答案解析】答案选A。细节判断题。从Thetwoweresatisfiedwitheachother

可知，相亲过后，两人对对方都很满意，所以A选项正确，汤姆第一次见对方就

留下了很好的印象。B项所表述内容在文中找不到根据，不能判断这是汤姆第几

次约会。根据文章描述，汤姆只是near-sighted,沅不到盲了的地步。文章仅讲

23

述了汤姆和某一个女孩相亲的精力，对他的个人魅力以及是否受女孩欢迎并未提

及。
