There were a thousand reasons not to stop.

题目内容：

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (搁浅) motorists，isn't it?

That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005：I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.

I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by，just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her，a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her，and was tinkering (修补) with her car's engine.

“Is there anything I can do to help？” I asked.

“No，thank you，”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it，the woman tried to give him some money，but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did；his family was sitting in the station wagon，waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often？”I asked.

“Somebody has to，”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps？”And for him，that was enough.

答案解析：

小题1:答案　A　[推理判断题。对比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不给这位汽车抛锚的女士以帮助，但后者却这样做了，因此作者通过本文想表达的思想是：无论你自己多么忙也应该给别人以帮助。]

小题2:答案　C　[推理判断题。综合前两段的信息可知，作者在强调自己没有帮助汽车抛锚的女士的原因，其中之一是作者的汽修技能很差，因此断定，作者怀疑自己即使停下来也帮不上什么忙。]

小题3:答案　A　[推理判断题。对比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不给这位汽车抛锚的女士以帮助，但后者却这样做了，因此作者通过本文想表达的思想是：无论你自己多么忙也应该给别人以帮助。]
