[对应学生用书P380] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·盐城模拟)Nowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing, but my neighbors' mail. I thought that was curious. I proceeded to take my neighbors' mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing with his friend's mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside. “You were after this.” I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into his house. I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers.

Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had got from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing. The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who lived alone and died. No one thought to check on the man's dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes. When he got loose, he assumed his duties. I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt the little guy. [解题导语]　本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作者和邻居因为信件而产生的误会，最终大家一起发现了真相，作者和邻居冰释前嫌，邻居还收养了那只送信件的狗。 1．Why did the tall man give the author a funny look? A．To show his disbelief.
