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、She tried hard to thread a needle with a small eye.
B、She did sewing with a needle and thread.
C、She showed the judge her clean driving record.
D、She threaded a needle with a small eye very easily.
答案
D
解析
根据短文第四段内容可知:布朗太太听完法官的话后,没说一句话,拿出一个针眼很小的缝衣针,一下子就把线穿过去了。她用实际行动证明了法官的话是站不住脚的。
