     At three a.m., Jack Mills was sitting at the controls of the mail train. The train was made up of 13 cars.
At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen
and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three
minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whit by, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train,
and then stopped. Whit by went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man
moving between the second and the third car. Before Whit by could give a warning, he was knocked down
by two men. Mills' cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags
of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously
knew the schedules (時刻表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45, he said,"That will have to be

B. forced Mills to stop the train
C. were waiting for the train to stop
D. ordered Mills to go on driving
3. Why didn't the other mailmen help the mailmen in the second car when the robbery happened?
A. Because they were busy sorting the mail.
B. Because they didn't want to help the mailmen in the second car.
