阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The other day I was
doing some shopping and a homeless man, who was untidy and spent most of the
time talking to no one, walked toward a group of us at the checkout stand. I
overheard him say to the man in front of me, "I don't want to steal from
this store... would you buy me some food?"
The man in front of me
pretended not to hear him; it was as if he were not there. I waited patiently
for my turn to be questioned, but it never came. So I asked him, "Can I
buy you something to eat?" He gladly accepted. The man got a bag and began
putting cupcakes in the bag. As my things were being rung up I watched the man
put the cupcakes into the bag; 1, 2, 3... He finally stopped and I asked him
how many he had got and he replied 6.
The cashier looked at
me in surprise and then added them to my order. After I was through, the man
was walking around the store; he said he wanted something to drink, too. The
cashier seemed to be keeping a close eye on him. I admit I was too, as I didn't
want him to steal anything either! I told the cashier that if he got a drink I'd
just pay for it.
In the end, we both
ended up leaving the store, but he stood right outside holding the cupcakes and
talking to himself. Or maybe he was talking with someone who he thought was
there.
This man's circumstances
(处境) made me sad. How many of our homeless
also suffer from a mental illness? Maybe that's even what led him to be
homeless. I also thought about the watchful eye the cashier and I kept over
him. Maybe for different reasons, I still hope to run into him again someday,
and maybe we can sit down and have lunch together.
