Traffic is slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I􀆳m stuck even before getting on the bridge. This has become my normal work commute (上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on⁃ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks, I start counting—299, 300, 301—and I give up. Suddenly I remember I􀆳m one of the 300 helpless drivers. But I stay alert. When the cars do move, I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail􀆳s pace. Tired and hungry, I become very anxious. Just then, I hear a faint sound in the distance. The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. What do we do? The bridge is packed. There􀆳s no room for us to move. But I􀆳m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through. Afterward, every car moves back into formation (队形). We close up the emergency lane, continuing our patient wait. Back in my spot, I􀆳m awestruck. My exhaustion and anxiety are gone. I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did. Despite our exhaustion, we all decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our compassion (同情心) and intelligence, requiring no directives. Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I􀆳m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible. 作者采用了小说的写法,把自己设定为现场的目击者,运用现在时态,生动地讲述了她下班开车回家途中经历的暖心故事。 1.How does the author feel when seeing the on⁃ramp? A. Annoyed. B. Discouraged. C. Calm. D.
