Ⅱ.阅读理解
Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras that my folks couldn't really afford, I lost my wallet.
My old car needed putting gas in the back. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠), and drove off. I hadn't even had time to miss it when my phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my wallet and to my surprise, I didn't find it. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.
As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van (残疾人车) and the ramp (斜坡) going up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.
I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck, though. While I didn't want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said, “Just pass it on.” I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance (状况) and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.
1．Where did the writer lose his wallet?
A. At the shop. B. At the gas station.
C. At the hospital. D. At the garage.
