It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.

While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred（長(zhǎng)大的）, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(裝飾).

The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis（都市）of a New England colony.

What time of the year was it in this story?

A. Winter.           B. Fall.       C. Summer.    D. Spring.

The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.

A. he was going to row across the river anyway

B. he saw that Robin was young and rich

C. he would give extra money

D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor

The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________.

A. well worn         B. very expensive       C. handmade         D. much too big

From the text we can learn that Robin had traveled __________.

A. from London              B. from Madrid

C. from a nearby city                D. over thirty miles

　　It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had got his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lamp, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very close look at the stranger's figure. He was a young man of about eighteen years, obviously brought up in the country, and now as it seemed, of his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was still in good shape after many winters. The trousers under his coat were well made of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of long legs; his blue stockings must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his belongings were completed by a leather bag which hung on his strong shoulders. Brown, curly hair, a well-shaped nose, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day.
