“If it rings one more time, I’ll hang up,” Amy thought hopefully, as she waited for someone to answer. Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do. 
“Hello,” a woman’s voice said. There was no backing out now. 
“May I speak to Missy, please?”
“Just a minute.”
In much less than a minute, Missy was on the phone. “Hi, who’s calling?” asked the cheerful voice. 
“It’s Amy. I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry about what I said to you. I didn’t really mean it.” Amy paused, trying to think of what to say next. 
“Thank you, Amy. No hard feelings.”
“Missy, you’re a very nice person. You’re a lot nicer than I am!”
Missy laughed. “You’re not so bad, Amy. By the way, I’ve got some great news. Mr. Grumbell said that you were the only candidate for class president. He talked me into being a candidate too. Isn’t that cool?”
Amy didn’t think the news was cool. Missy was very popular; she’d get a lot of votes. Fortunately, Amy was in a gracious mood. “You’ll be a tough opponent, Missy,” she said. “May the best woman win.” “Thanks, Amy,” Missy replied. “But you might even win.”
Amy had to laugh. “Hey, I’m the one who’s supposed to make comments like that!”

CBBDD
Amy想向Missy道歉,但難以啟口,最后打通電話。順便說了班長候選的問題。
1.C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第1段中Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do 和May I speak to Missy, please? 和It’s Amy. I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry about what I said to you可推斷Amy給Missy打電話是想向她道歉,因為Amy說的話傷害了她。因此可推斷答案為C。
2.B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章開頭 If it rings one more time, I’ll hang up, Amy thought hopefully, as she waited for someone to answer. Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do 可推斷Amy希望沒有人接電話的原因是他覺得道歉不是一件舒服的事。故答案為B。
3.B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Hello,” a woman’s voice said 由“一個女人的聲音”可推知Amy不是一個人在家;不是她的妹妹,更不是她的爸爸接的電話。因此可推斷是她的媽媽接的電話。故答案為B。
4.D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)Thank you, Amy. No hard feelings和Missy laughed. You’re not so bad, Amy 推知Missy很友好;根據(jù)“Missy, you’re a very nice person. You’re a lot nicer than I am!”可推知Amy也很友好。故答案為D。
5.D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)Missy laughed. You were the only candidate for class president(你是惟一的班長候選人)和He talked me into being a candidate too(他說服我也當候選人)?赏浦狹issy告訴Amy她想要的也是當班長。故答案為D。
