Question

【题目】Tom lived in a town and worked in a shop. His father died when he was young and his mother supported(支持)him. She always tried her best to save everything and hoped to have enough money to send her son to school. Sometimes she was hungry but she always gave the boy enough food. Now the young man was twenty-eight years old. He wasn’t married(结婚), because he hoped to take good care of his mother himself.

The young man worked hard in the shop. He was very busy. So he decided to employ(雇用)a housekeeper to look after his mother. One of his friends brought a girl, Kate, to him. The girl was very strong and came from a village and could do all the housework.

One day the old woman fell to the ground and hurt her leg. Mr. Shute had just come home. He went to lift her to the bed with Kate quickly. Then he told Kate to call the bus station to send a taxi to them. He waited for a long time and no taxi came. He couldn’t find Kate and didn’t know what had happened. When he was going out to ring up the station himself, the girl hurried back.

“What did you do just now?” Tom said angrily.

“I went to the station, sir.” answered the girl. “I didn’t know the telephone number. So I had to go to ask them for it and then ring them up.”

“How did you go there?” asked Tom

“By taxi, sir.” answered the girl.
