单选题
Some people don't like anything to be out of place;
they are never late for work; they give back their books to the library on time;
they remember people's birthdays; and they pay bills as soon as they arrive. Mr
Dodds is such a person, he works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only
relatives he has is in the next town, his sister lives there with her husband,
and her son, Mark. Mr Dodds doesn't see his sister, or her family, from one year
to the next, but he sends them Christmas presents and he has not forgotten one
of Mark's seven- teen birthdays. Last week, Mr Dodds had quite
a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too
slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way
of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meals. Straight away,
there was a knock at the door. Mr Dodds opened the door, finding a policeman
standing on the doorstep. "What have I done wrong?" Mr Dodds
asked himself. "Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some
trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello, Uncle," said the policeman. "My name is Mark."
