He was playing with friends at his grandmother39。s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not”,可知這個(gè)孩子在1月22日失蹤了。他正在他的祖母在北卡羅來納州南部州的房子里玩耍。當(dāng)其他孩子回家時(shí),凱西卻沒有。也就是在離開祖母的房子后,凱西沒有回家,失蹤了。故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9 :30 that night. ”可知然后在1月24日,有人打電話給警察,說他聽到一個(gè)孩子在樹林里哭泣。警方跟進(jìn)了該消息,并于當(dāng)晚9點(diǎn)30分發(fā)現(xiàn)了凱西。所以是有人提供了關(guān)鍵的信息來幫助找到這個(gè)男孩。故選C。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的 ‘We just want to tell everybody that we39。re very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he39。s good, ‘ said his mother. ’ He is good, he is up and talking.

However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today39。s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, piic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, Oh, boy, bad day for a piic. The weatherman says it39。s going to rain. I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile. Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, Oh, that bus left five minutes ago. Dreams of headcutting! It39。s not the news that makes someone angry. It39。s the unsympathetic attitude with which it39。s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn39。t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you39。re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn39。t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist (拳頭) right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, Oh, that39。s all right. I39。ll catch the next one. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轟炸的) person is sure to have.(1)In the writer39。s opinion, his neighbor was .
