A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buse

s came by, not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.

The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door, on her arm, and drove off.

The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too were shouting.

When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.

After the driver' s bossed at a tax-support governmental company(CTA) heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension (停职) without pay. That struck me as rather light.

But Bill Baxa, the company' s public-relation man, "That' s a pretty serious punishment.

Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver make $14 an hour. Multiply(乘)that by 40 and you can see that he lost."

Yes, that come to $560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week' s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I' 11 slam the door shut, shut the bus quickly and take them for a fast one block run.

And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr Baxa? Anyone?

I didn't think so.

The nurse half-entered one of the buses because ______.

A.the bus they wanted didn't stop

B.She wanted the driver to stop the bus

C.She wanted to get some information from the driver

D.She and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner

We walked so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. M
um pointed to a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to have a seat. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors. "

"Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldn't see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book.

After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, " Thank you. "

Outside, mum told me: "Dagmar is fine. No fever. "

"You saw her, mum?"

"Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush. "

When she took a mop from the small room what mum really wanted to do was ______.

A.to clean the floor

B.to please the nurse

C.to see a patient
