　　We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It

　　was tall and narrow.

　　“Buy it，” my wife said at once. “We'll carry it home on the roof rack.

　　I've always wanted one like that.”

　　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡ 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

　　In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers

　　seemed unusually polite that evening.

　　The police even stopped traffic to let us through.

　　Carrying furniture was a good idea.

　　After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars

　　behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder？” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us

　　seriously as they passed.

　　But then, with great kindness,

　　they led us through the rush­hour traffic.

　　The police car

　　stopped at our village church.

　　One of the officers came to me.

　　“Right, sir，”

　　he said.

　　“Do you need any more help？”

　　I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer，” I said. “You have been very kind. I was just on the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at

　　the cupboard. “Well, well，” he said, laughing. “It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something

　　else.”

　　My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone

　　between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

　　文章大意：作者和妻子在采花回家的路上，妻子又买了一个橱柜装在车上，其他的司机及警察都以为他们是去给人送葬，所以纷纷给其让路。

　　5．In fact the husband________the cupboard.

　　A. would like very much to buy

　　B. badly wanted

　　C. was glad to have bought

　　D. would rather not buy

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章第二段作者对买柜子的想法：要花钱，又长又笨重，从而推断出作者心里不愿意买，由此可知答案为D。

　　6．Other drivers thought they were________.

　　A. carrying a cupboard to the church

　　B. sending flowers to the church

　　C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture

　　D. going to attend a funeral(葬礼) at the church

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句：警察的车停在教堂及第七段警察看车的情形：看了看花又看了看柜子，说：我们以为是别的什么东西。可推断出此题答案为D。

　　7．The police will be more polite to those who are________.

　　A. driving in gathering darkness

　　B. in great sorrow

　　C. driving with wild flowers in the car

　　D. carrying furniture

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章中对警察关心作者的描述及警察对作者车上东西的看法可推断出警察以为作者去参加葬礼，所以对作者特别客气，由此可推知答案为B。

　　8．What did the husband think of this matter?

　　A. It was very strange.

　　B. He felt ashamed of it.

　　C. He took great pride in it.

　　D. He was puzzled at it.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的描述：然后我才弄清楚事实真相是怎么回事，于是我尽快地把车开回家，可看出作者对此感到很羞愧，从而推断出此题答案为B。
