Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her, “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said, “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Er, well…”woman looked at the child, “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe￡1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

试题分析：这篇短文讲述一位女士由于售票员售错票而在宾馆住宿一宿，女士找售票员讨回公道的故事。售票员利用了自己的机智解决了这个问题。
小题1:细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两行You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.“你卖给我一张5月22日的票，但是那天晚上没有船。所以我和我的女儿必须在旅馆待一个晚上。花了我12英镑。”可知答案，故选C。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第五段第二句话My little girl can’t swim a bit yet.可知A错误；选项B在文中没有提及；根据第七段最后一句话But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?可知C错误；根据第四段可知D正确。故选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三行Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.“想知道怎么做，所以对小女孩微笑。”可知答案，故选A。
小题4:推理判断题。本文中Harry从这个小女孩出发，以她没有买票为由不但不需要赔偿反倒要找她1.5英镑。由此可见Harry很聪明。故选D。
小题5:推理判断题。根据最后Harry所述，The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…“法律就是法律，但是由于我的过错…”可知Harry并不想要讨回1.5英镑，只是运用了自己的聪明机智解决了问题。而这个女士也便无话可说，因此最后的结局应该是这位女士悄然离去。故选D。
