Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．B;4．D;5．C;
解析：

(1)	根據(jù)題意，這三個人在火車站等火車，當然是在候車室．
(2)	答案就在“The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke．”這句話中．
(3)	短文第二句即是本題的答案．
(4)	由Allan說的話，可推測出D為最佳答案．
(5)	“With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, ‘And what about you?’”這句話以及后邊的回答是解答本題的關鍵之所在． 　　這篇幽默故事講的是：三個人在談論“如果大夫告知你還能活三個月的時間，你最想做什么？”這個問題．其中一個人說他將從銀行取出所有的錢和朋友一塊去度假，并盡可能多地旅游一些地方．另一個人說他將賣掉自己的房子，買一輛好車，做一名賽車手．也許能有機會參加汽車大賽．第三個人說，如果大夫告訴他這個壞消息，他將再去看一個醫(yī)生．
