One day ,I happened to(碰巧)talk to a stranger on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say that Chicago was a very big city. He was silent(沉默)for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.
He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player, and that he even had his own tennis eourt(网球场). He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the country had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several people like that. For example, my brother and my next door neighbour. I said that my brother was a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court. I told him that my next door neighbour went to Sacramento last summer and lived in the house next to my brother's. For a moment, we looked at each other. But we did not say anything.
"Would your friend's name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?" I asked finally. He laughed and said, "Would your brother's name happen to be Dr. Ray Hunter?" It was my turn to laugh.

单选题 How many people does the story involve(涉及)?

单选题 Which of the following is the title(题目)of the story?

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】本文通过作者和陌生人的交谈，最后发现在茫茫人海中，两个拥有网球场的人居然都是他们所熟悉的人。这真是百分之一的巧合，C项恰当地表达了这一巧合。

单选题 The writer said that Chicago was a very big city. That means ______ .

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】作者所说芝加哥是一个大城市，他的真实意思是他不认识陌生人的朋友。A项意思与本文相反；陌生人只是问作者是否认识他的朋友，并无要作者找他朋友之意，故B、C两项也应排除。

单选题 When the stranger told the writer that only two people in the country had their own tennis courts, He meant that ______ .

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】陌生人这句话的含意是拥有网球场的人很少，那么作者很有可能认识他的朋友，故D为合乎逻辑的选择。拥有网球场的人不一定是著名人物，也不一定是网球运动员，故A、B两项错误。陌生人也无意要作者为他找到朋友，故C项也应排除。
