1. (2016·黔西南) 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

    I have been a taxi driver for over ten years. It's a good job most of the time. I meet a lot of people. I always work at night because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London. I usually go to work at half past five in the afternoon and go back home at 2 in the morning.

    One night I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When she got to her house, she found that she had lost her keys. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the window.

    I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell, I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. Two policemen happened to be passing by. They thought I was a thief! Luckily the woman came down. She had gone to sleep and forgotten all about me and the dog.
