Harry Mendis, a 15-year-old British schoolboy, had a long hiccup(～TP～)at the end of last month．

　　His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks．After the first week, Harry’s parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure(治愈)him．

　　Harry．, who is now back at school, is talking about his hiccups．

　　“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water, but that didn’t work．That evening I had hiccups every four seconds．1 tried many ways to stop them．I held my breath and drank cold drinks．My father even tried to give me a shock, but that didn’t work, either．After a week of sleepless nights, I went to hospital．The doctors couldn’t find anything wrong．They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed, down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped．”

　　After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station．“The railway owes me 12 pounds,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office．“You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night．So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel．It cost me 12 pounds．”

　　Harry was worried．He remembered selling the woman a return ticket．“Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely．“I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd．” The woman and her little girl followed him inside．She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered．There was no sailing on May 22nd．How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day．Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child．“You look sun burnt,” he said to her．“Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

　　“Yes,” she answered, shyly．“The beach was lovely．And I can swim too!”

　　“That's fine,” said Harry．“My little girl can't swim a bit yet．Of course, she's only three…”

　　“I'm four,” the child said proudly．“I'll be four and a half．”

　　Harry turned to the mother．“I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said．“But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?”

　　“Er, well…” the woman looked at the child．“I mean…she hasn't started school yet, she's only four．”

　　“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam．A child's return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…13.50 pounds．The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine…．”

　　The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office．

C．

the Jersey timetable was wrong

D．

the little girl didn't have a return ticket

(3)

[　　]

A．

because he was in trouble and did not know what to do

B．

because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl

C．

because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice

D．

when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

B．
