18.Any passenger on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have already thought that I was strange.In particular this gentleman sitting opposite me was staring at me,at the cheese bun(奶酪小面包) on the floor in front of me,and then back at me;"Next stop,St.Patrick Station"my stop was quickly coming up.I had minutes to either take the cheese bun,which nobody else was claiming(as a passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop),or leave it there and hope that it didn't go to waste.
In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way."What would other people on this subway think of me if I took the Cheese bun?Would they think that I was poor and hungry?Would they think that I'm stealing?"The ignorant thing to do was say"yes"to any of those self-imposed (強加的) questions,which would only prove my ego(自負).But then I'd get off the subway,walk a block up the street to my office,get settled at my desk,and despite feeling comfortable,warm,and being well-fed myself for the whole day,there would be a weight of guilt and regret weighing on my mind.
My thoughts were pushing me towards pride and ignorance when the truth was evident:this missing cheese bun is a gift.For a homeless person who is hungry and cold.For me to overcome a little bit of ego and pass along so much kindness.It was clear that the homeless person who would receive this cheese bun needed it just as much as I did.
Just as the doors opened at my stop I grabbed(抓) the cheese bun and exited the subway.It felt awesome and I didn't care if people were looking or what they thought.Instead of going directly to my office as usual,I walked a few more blocks up to Queen's Park where I have seen a homeless man sitting outside many times on my walk from the gym to my office.I always wanted to give him something.There he was this morning,wrapped in a sleeping bag.

52.B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二段中的幾個問題"'What would other people on this subway think of me if I took the cheese bun?Would they think that I was poor and hungry?Would they think that I'm stealing?'"可知,作者在進行內(nèi)心的思想斗爭.故選B項.
