问题     He saw the old lady and her car on the side of the road. He could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out.
   Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry.
   He said, "I’m here to help you, ma’am. My name is Bryan Anderson. "
   All she had was a flat tire (瘪胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan changed the tire and she couldn’t thank him enough for the help. Then, the lady asked how much she owed him. She had already imagined all the terrible things that could have happened. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed.
   A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small cafe She went in. The waitress came over with a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. She noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕) , but she never let her aches be noticed. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then, she remembered Bryan.
   After her meal, the lady paid with a one hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change, but when she came back, she noticed something written on the napkin (餐巾纸) with the words saying: "You don’t owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do : Do not let this chain of love end with you. "
   Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
   That night when the waitress got home, she was thinking about what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed the money with the baby due next month? As she lay sleeping next to her husband, she whispered soft and low, "Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson. "
Why did the old lady want to give money to Bryan?
选项 A、She recognized Bryan was a friend of hers.
B、She wanted to pay him for the new tire.
C、She tried to keep clear of trouble.
D、She thought he might get angry.
答案C
解析 推理题。题干意为“为什么老妇人想要付钱给布莱恩?”从文中第三段对老妇人心理活动的描写“She had already imagined all the terrible things that could have happened.”可以推断老妇人想要破财免灾。故C为正确答案。
