听力原文： The day started badly, I woke up late because I forgot about the alarm clock the night be- fore. I got dressed in five minutes and called a taxi to go to the airport. Thirty minutes later the taxi had still not arrived. I called the taxi company, and they explained that the taxi broke down. So, I decided to take my own car to Heathrow, picked up my bag and left the house. But when I got in the car, the engine wouldn't start. I realized that 1 left the headlights on last night. I decided to try the taxi company again, but when I put my hand in my pocket, my telephone wasn't there. I left it in the kitchen so I 'went back inside to get it. I opened the door and could' hear the radio, which I forgot to switch off. "This is the BBC News at eight o'clock on Sunday the seventh of April," I heard. "Eight o'clock," I thought, "but it's only seven o'clock," and I looked at my watch to check. Suddenly, I remembered. It was eight o'clock! The clocks changed that week- end! There was no point going to the airport now. The plane had already taken off. But as I sat there listening to the news, I realized how lucky I had been. A plane crashed just after take-off at Heathrow, and it was feared that all 217 people aboard died.

A priest (牧师) had to give services in several churches every Sunday, and one of them was in the center of a big city where there were lots of offices, but where very few people hived. As a re- suit, hardly anyone ever went to this church on Sunday. The priest used to go there in a taxi, and one Sunday he arrived as usual and told the taxi-driver to wait while he read the service. When he entered the church, he found that there was only one man there, so he inquired whether he would be willing to have a shortened service.
"No," replied the man firmly and without any hesitation, "I' d like to have the full service, without omitting anything.”
When the priest said the last prayer(祈祷) and left, he discovered that the man in the church had been his taxi driver, whose meter (计程器) had been adding up the expense throughout the service.
How did the driver possibly go into the church？
A．He went with the priest.
B．He followed the priest.
C．He went through another door by running.
D．He went into the church faster before the priest while he did not notice him.

Taxi Riding
In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver？ I began studying this question after watching the "Taxicab Confessions," a series of documentaries in which hidden cameras record the secrets of unsuspecting taxi riders. I found the results varied.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced: "Well, it's my first day back in New York in seven years. I've been in prison." Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. "Yeah, I shot a man in Reno," I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, so I could say casually, "Just to watch him die." But nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver:" Reno？ That is in Nevada？"
Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired. "This is America," a Haitian driver said. "One door is closed. Another is open." He argued against my plan to bum down my boss's house: "If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job." A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. "Why you want to go there？ Go home and relax. Don't worry. Take a new job."
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word "BANK" on it, I tried hailing a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy-Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb assistance I received.
"Is anyone following us？"
"No," said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.
"Let's go across the park," I said. "I just robbed the bank there, I got $25,000."
"$25,000？" he asked.
"Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it？"
"No, man. I work 8 hours and I don't make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too."
As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
"Hey, there's another bank," I said, "could you wait here a minute while I go inside？"
"No, I can't wait. Pay me now." His reluctance may have had something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect unconditional support.
From the Ghanaian driver's response, we can infer that
A．he was indifferent to the killing.
B．he was afraid of the author.
C．he looked down upon the author.
D．he thought the author was crazy.
