On the morning of the first day, when he saw a woman coming towards the door of tire agency, he immediately opened the door for her and began to describe the tour. "The bus leaves Fairfield at 9:30. It's air-conditioned and very comfortable. We first take you down to the old harbor. From there we drive along the coast and through an old residential area. At 12:30, we go to the Park Restaurant for a first-class meal. Then we go to the zoo in the park. From 3 till 5 we show you the shops in the old town, where you can buy traditional handicrafts, jewellery and pottery. We then go to the area where you can visit the natural history museum and the art gallery. Finally we come back along 8th Avenue, past the concert hall and theaters. You can count on a really wonderful day. "At last he stopped. The woman smiled and thanked him very much. Then she said she had lived in the town all her life and thought his description was very good. However, she only wanted to know what time the next bus left for Green Valley.

Martin Luther King Jr.
By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. as its leader, the bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already an overwhelming success. King would later write that his unanticipated call to leadership "happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through. " "it is probable that if I had, I would have declined the nomination. "
Although press reports at the time focused on his inspiring oratory, King was actually a reluctant leader of a movement initiated by others. (The boycott began on DeC.5,1955. ) His subsequent writings and private correspondence reveal a man whose inner doubts sharply contrast with his public persona. In the early days of his involvement, King was troubled by telephone threats, discord within the black community and Montgomery's "get tough" policy, to which King attributed his jailing on a minor traffic violanon. One night, as he considered ways to "'move out of the picture without appearing a coward," he began to pray aloud anD.at that moment, "experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced Him before. "
He would later admit that when the boycott began, he was not yet firmly committed to Gandhian principles. Although he had been exposed to those teachings in college, he had remained skeptical. "I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation was an armed revolt." he recalleD."I felt that the Christian ethic of love was confined to individual relationships. "
Only after his home was bombed in late January did King reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was seeking a gun permit and was protected by armed body- guards.) Competing with each other to influence King were two ardent pacifists: Bayard Rustin, a black activist with the War Resisters League, and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley, a white staff member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in King's house, while Smiley informed fellow pacifists that King's home was "an arsenal. "
第 31 题 What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott?
A.He hadn't expected it.
B.He had to think about it carefully.
C.He would refuse to accept it.
D.He was prepared to accept it.

Questions are based on the following passage.
Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favorite lunch spot near Emory University, must be hers.But she could not open the door.Nor could she open the door of the identical Leaf behind it.Cautiously, she tried the third Leaf in line and happily drove away.More than 14,000 electric vehicles are now registered in Georgia; California is the only state with more.But the juicy state incentives for buying them are coming under attack.
Residents can claim an income-tax credit for 20% of the cost of leasing or purchasing an electric vehicle, up to $ 5,000.Combined with a possible federal tax incentive worth $ 7,500, smart Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars.Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Atlanta than in any other city, according to Don Francis from Clean Cities——Georgia, which promotes the use of cars like these.
Such trends motivated Chuck Martin, a representative in Georgia"s House, to sponsor a bill to end state incentives for electric vehicles.He argues that the income-tax credit costs too much——about$13.6m in 2013——and that only urban types benefit from these sorts of cars.Mr.Martin"s bill was voted down in committee in February, but seems to be still breathing.Another House bill, mostly to finance transport projects, would reduce the credits; it is now before the Senate.
Fans of electric vehicles say Georgia now leads the country in clean transport.Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of 1.3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night.And the sales tax collected on this power stays in the state, whereas cash spent on petrol largely goes elsewhere, says Jeff Cohen, founder of the Atlanta Electric Vehicle Development Coalition.
Cutting the credits altogether might also harm Georgia in other ways.A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics, says the state could lose $ 252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas- guzzlers (耗油量大的汽车) instead.That is because drivers will spend $ 714m on petrol to get around(in contrast with the $ 261m they would have paid in electricity bills), and will no longer waste their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax credit in Georgia"s shops.But the state"s incentives may be safe in the legislature after all; the president of the Senate drives an electric car himself.
What can be inferred from the case of Olivia Pedersen? 查看材料
A.Traffic jam is common near Emory University.
B.The Georgian may prefer Nissan Leaf most.
C.Olivia"s favorite lunch spot is pretty popular.
D.There are many electric vehicles in Georgia.
