{{B}}A{{/B}}
I was down town yesterday, and decided to stop at the bank to see Alice Green. I thought she might have time to have lunch with me. When I got to the bank, I was told that she had just been out for a few minutes. I asked them if she would be back by 11: 30 or 11: 45, and they said yes. I had some time, so I decided to wait for her. Then I walked over to some chairs by the windows and sat down. I decided to watch the front door because I knew she would come back in that way. I waited and waited, but she didn't come through the door. Finally, I decided not to wait any longer. It was 12: 30, and I was sure that she wouldn't be back until after lunch. I got up, and was surprised to find that it was Alice. When I said that someone had told me that she had been out, she told me that she hadn't left her office all morning.
单选题 The writer went to the bank to ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】从本文开头的两句可知道，作者来银行是看望爱丽丝并请她吃饭，故B、C、D三项应排除。
单选题 When the writer got to the bank, ______ in fact.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】本题需要通过全文方可作出正确解答，作者走进银行时，被告知爱丽丝已回家，而事实上她一直在办公室里，故B为正确答案。容易混淆的是C项，由于爱丽丝不知作者到达，故不存在等待之说，另两项明显错误。
