阅读理解 When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a clerk in San Francisco. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend on but my brain and a clean reputation.My time was my own after the afternoon board on Saturdays, and I would spend the time on a little sailboat on the bay. One day I sailed too far, and was carried out to sea. At nightfall, when hope was almost lost, I was picked up by a small boat, which headed for London. It was a long and stormy journey, and they made me earn my passage as a common sailor. When I stepped on land in London, my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I only had a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me for 24 hours. During the next 24 hours I went without food and shelter.About ten o’clock on the following morning, tired and hungry, I was walking along Portland Place, when a passing child, threw a big pear into the rubbish can. I stopped, of course, and stared at that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it. My whole body begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it, some passing eyes noticed my purpose, and of course I straightened up, looked calm, and pretended that I hadn’t been thinking about the pear at all. The same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn’t get the pear. I was just getting desperate enough to face all the shame and get the pear, when a window behind me was opened, and a gentleman said, “Step in here, please.”1.According to the passage, the young man _______.A.had a great reputation for his good workB.worked as a common sailor during the journeyC.was carried out to sea on purpose by a small boatD.had nothing left in his pocket after landing in London2.Why didn’t the man pick up the pear at once?A.Because a gentleman stopped him and let him in.B.Because he was not so hungry that he could wait.C.Because the child was watching the pear.D.Because he didn’t want others to take him as a beggar.3.The underlined word “desperate” means “_______”.A.driven by great need or pain to do somethingB.being afraid of doing something for a certain reasonC.enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure or joyD.feeling sorry or sad about something
