I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
The writer is probably ______.
A. worker B. a college teacher
C. manager of a company D. a clerk
He learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday.
A. from his friends B. from one of his colleagues
C. over the radio D. from the newspaper
He could go and buy the ticket ______.
A. any day before work hours B. both before and after work hours
C. only during lunch time D. on Saturday and Sunday
The word “relieved” in the last two sentences may best be replaced by “______”.
A. surprised B. pleased C. puzzled D. sorry
The story is about ______.
A. a good concert
B. someone enjoying a good concert
C. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends
D. someone’s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert
