I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side.
“Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said.
He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (转移).”
A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.

阅读下面的短文,从短文所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。

  I'd meant to go to Miros that day. I'd packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat 1 in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn't too strong for the two-hour 2 . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost 3 of her, an old light-house partly blocking my view of the harbour(港口). A dozen passengers were 4 their way there. I was about to join them when a man's face 5 at the light-house window.

  This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and 6 for thirty years. It was stranger still, because I'd seen that 7 before. I couldn't place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and 8 across.

  “I know we've met before, but I can't remember where.”

  I 9 him to open his window if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass 10 motionless(没有表情). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, 11 the clouds. How well I had known that face, sometime, somewhere!

  I 12 again.“We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”

  He didn't reply nor give any 13 that he'd heard. I went back further, to 14 I was in the navy (海军).“Perhaps we met at sea during the war,”and that thought at once 15 him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I'd saved his life once. But surely he…

  The motor-boat 16 her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling 17 . Laughing, I called,“Now I've missed her, and it's your 18 , Commander!”

  As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. 19 minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The 20 it was gone.

  Well, I didn't rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or' 64. But there's one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.
