My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained. “I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.” The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

(答案→)D 解析:文章讲述的是在公交车上遇见的那些朋友,【小题1】细节题。第1段最后两行Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.说明AB正确。where’s the silent woman说明C正确。没有说她是冷谈的,选D【小题2】猜测词义题。根据上下文可知我们唯一的悲哀是不能和这个沉默的女人建立同样的友谊,这里是指建造,树立的意思。选C。【小题3】推理题。根据最后一段第3行even though he doesn’t express it very well。可知她和她的儿子在表达方面都有困难。选B。【小题5】主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章讲述的是在公交车上遇见的那些朋友,A符合要求。
