Lisa began walking up the steep hill leading from the group of shacks where she lived. She wore a small, faded green hat with a rim big enough to shade her eyes from the sun. Looking down, she saw the powdery soil scatter with each of her steps. Every time she stopped, the dust would settle in a thin mist over her dark, bare feet. She reached the top of the hill and stopped to rest on a big rock by the side of the path. Sitting there, she saw her mother come out and stand on the small porch. She was a big woman—not like Lisa, who was small and thin. Lisa took after her father who had also been small, or so her mother said. Lisa didn’t remember her father well enough to recall what he looked like. He left after Lisa’s fifth sister was born.
Lisa looked down again and saw her mother turn in her direction, her hands resting on her hips. "What you doin’ just sittin’ there?" Lisa could imagine her saying. "Girl, don’t you know I’m waitin’ for things from the store?"
"Come on now, stupid. Get up," she told herself. "She’s really gonna be mad if you don’t get going quick! " She walked on hurriedly, over the hill. The dirt path that she had been walking on there turned into a proper pavement with a sidewalk running along each side.
Every time Lisa walked through town she never knew whether she should walk in the road or on the sidewalk. She didn’t want to be noticed. When walking down the clean, tree-shaded street she would always realize she had no shoes on and that she wore a faded dress and hat. Now she stopped and tried brushing some of the dust from her clothes. Seeing that this had no effect on the dull and dirty color of the dress, she gave a sigh and again started to walk.
She walked another ten minutes before she reached the store. Lisa stepped inside and felt the air conditioning all around her.
"Wonder if they’d mind me spending the night here?" she thought, and then laughed. "Let me see—bread, sausage, lettuce. I guess that’s all." As she reached the cashier, she suddenly wondered, "Oh, no! Do I have enough money?"
"Seventy-two cents."
She sighed and handed the man three quarters.
"Seventy-two out of seventy-five. Here you go—three cents."
As she turned to leave the store, a bright poster drew her attention. It read: "Has the heat got you down? Try an ice-cream bar. Only cents." Lisa walked over to the display and stared at the frozen chocolate bars. Her hand held only three cents. She looked up at the sign again, then down at the freezer and pulled one out, just as another customer walked around the corner. Lisa looked up and saw him watching her. She hurried down the aisle, glancing back to see if he was following. The man called out: "Wait! Hey, wait! You didn’t pay for that! " He turned to the cashier. "Hey, that girl—she didn’t pay."
"Huh? Ah—they come in here and do that all the time. Never been taught any better. Oh, let her go." The cashier said.
Lisa ran fast down the black pavement. Her feet burned as they slapped the hard road. She held on tightly to the groceries and to her ice-cream and kept running. She stopped when she reached that rock and sat on it. The groceries slid through her arm onto the ground, but she continued to hold the ice-cream. With her free hand she slowly removed the wrapper. The ice-cream bar, soft from the heat, fell off the stick and onto the ground. Lisa sat very still and stared at the dry ground.
From below a voice called to her.
"Lisa? Come over here! I’ve been waiting for ya. Come on! Girl! " But Lisa didn’t move. [br] Lisa had to "get going quick"(Para. 3)because
选项
A、her mother yelled at her when she was resting.
B、her mother would beat her if she didn’t go to the store.
C、she had to come back home before dusk.
D、she had to buy some groceries for her mother.
答案
D
解析
根据接下来的段落可知Lisa要去镇上的小店买一些食物(bread,sausage,lettuce),由此可见,本题应选D。第2段中的imagine表明那些话都是Lisa自己的想象,因此当她坐在石头上休息的时候,她妈妈并没有朝她喊叫,故排除A;第3段原文中说“如果不赶紧走的话,妈妈一定会非常生气的”,B中的beather与之不符;C没有原文依据。
