But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by Dave, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a halfcentury after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as Wayward Road, Anytown California under the name Feeling guilty. When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, Dear PD, I39。ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don39。t give you my info. With respect, Dave. Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, Dave must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, Dave could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.(1)How much do we know about Dave? A.He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B.The police are trying to find out more about him.C.His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D.Dave is of course the man39。s real name indeed.(2)Why didn39。t Dave pay for the parking ticket until recently? A.He pletely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B.He didn39。t find it until almost half a century later.C.He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D.He didn39。t pay for it just because of procrastination.(3)What drove Dave to pay for the parking ticket at last? A.A strong sense of guilt.B.Fear of being tracked by the police.C.Worry about being fined more.D.Sudden change of his financial situation.(4)Which of the following can be the best title?

But what to do if you don39。t quite know where you fit into this world and you39。re tired of carrying that burden alone? I answered strangers39。 questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like why can39。t I be happier in my life? And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother39。s hand as she craned (伸長脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. It39。s OK, I offered. Do you have a question? The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: How do I know I39。m real? Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase I think, therefore I am? Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous here is one hand, here is the other, to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. Close your eyes, I said. She did. Well, did you disappear? She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. Congratulations, you39。re real. She grinned (露齒而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.(1)Why did the author show up at the entrance of the subway?
