As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldnt lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage. “Whats wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesnt she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat. Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why cant you give me a hand with my luggage?” The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. 6、Marias story happened on her way back to Santo Domingo.

A、T B、F 参考答案:B 解析: 【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后两句 话的含义，我们很容易判断出来：当时周围的人听到 了 Maria 和那个男士的谈话，觉得那个男士很没礼貌， 而不是 Maria。 10、The author mentioned Marias age at the beginning of the story in order to show that she was young but behaved properly. A、T B、F 参考答案:A 解析: 【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。从文中我们可以看 到，当那位男士听到 Maria 的英语时，感到很吃惊， 同时大家觉得 Maria 要比那位男士表现得更得体，这 正好与 Maria 的年纪形成对比。 因此答案选 A，来 突出 Maria 小小年纪，却很有礼貌。 Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king's palace in England.
