Mrs. Brown was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of’ driving, been punished for a driving offence.
Then one day she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.
When Mrs. Brown came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Brown opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt.
When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, "Now it is your turn. I suppose you drive a car, trod that you have no doubt about your own eyesight."
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it.. After half a dozen attempts, he had still not succeeded. The case against Mrs. Brown was dismissed and her record remained unbroken.
选项
A、Because her eyesight was too poor with old age.
B、Because she was too old.
C、Because she wanted to make a new record.
D、Because she had a terrible physical condition.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。短文第三段提到"the reason... she had simply not seen it”(法官认为她遇到红灯没有停的原因可能是因为她年纪大了,视力较弱,以至于看不见红灯。)由此可知,法官认为她视力差。
