Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bu


Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in lines, others were walking about. There was a group of school-girls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.
He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom.
“What time is your bus?” asked John.
“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.
“Good heavens! It’s going back-ward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.” “You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.
Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. He has never liked mirror since then.

小题1:细节题。从Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the Paris bus, and Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit可知他去咖啡馆是为了找个座位坐一坐,故答案选B。
小题2:推断题。阅读全文可知他是从镜子中看的时间,镜中的时针、分针与闹钟上的时针、分针是关于12与6的连线对称,那么11:40对称到对称轴的右边就是12:20,同样11:30对称到右边就是12:30,所以他后来看到的时间是12:30,这道题拿个表对着镜子一看就知道了,不妨试一试。
小题3:细节题。从Oh! It’s going backward!可知选项C正确。
小题4:推断题。从Since then Tom has never liked mirrors可知Tom从此以后再也不会从镜子中看时间了,由此判断Tom没有错过了汽车没能按时到,故答案选A。
