PASSAGE TWO
Why did the shop assistant lead the elderly woman to find the DVD instead of finding it for her?
The elderly woman reminded her of her departed mother.
(细节题。 文章第五段提到店员没有立刻离开去帮老太太找光碟, 而是请老太太跟自己一起走, 告诉她在哪里可以找到光碟。 随即解释了这样做的原因“I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who‘d passed away the previous Christmas”, 因为老太太让店员想起了去世的母亲, 店员是很享受老太太的片刻陪伴。 故答案应为“The elderly woman reminded her of her departed mother.”。 )
What does the last sentence in Para. 16 imply about the daughter‘s attitude towards her mother?
She began to change her attitude and cherish her mother.
(推断题。 文章第十六段提到虽然很不习惯, 但女儿慢慢地用手搂住母亲的肩膀, 温柔地带母亲向人潮中走去。对比前文中女儿对母亲极其不耐烦和漠不关心的态度, 在店员建议她珍惜母亲之后, 她改变了对母亲的态度,开始珍惜母亲了。 故答案应为“She began to change her attitude and cherish her mother.”。 )
