Last winter ,when I was heavily pregnant , I was visiting my sister and brother-in –law’s house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn’t have accessible parking .The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground –not many people had ventured out that evening !
When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were ing to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck. Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said I am stuck. And the young man said It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow. And they did!
When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.

(答案→)A
解析：本文叙述了作者的一次经历。在故事中作者曾因为几个年轻人的穿着而误以为他们是坏人，但是他们却热心地帮助她摆脱了困境，由此得到的教训是：不要以貌取人。
【小题1】推理判断题。从文章第二段可知当时是晚上11点，作者独自一人，周围没有任何车辆行人，而且从下文从第三段“dressed a bit like gang members”判断作者是害怕遇到坏人，故A选项正确。
【小题2】推理判断题。从第三段Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck. 和It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow.可知这几个年轻人主动询问而且还帮忙把车子推出雪地，所以应
该是热心的。D选项正确。
【小题3】细节理解题。从文章第三，四段可知他们在作者遇到困难的时候帮助了她，所以B选项正确。
【小题4】主旨大意题。在文章叙述中可知作者开始因为这几个年轻人的穿着而以为他们是坏人，但是他们却热心的帮助了她，所以文章要表达的中心就是“不要以貌取人”；而且文章末尾embarrassed to have judged them so poorly作者再次点明主题。故C选项正确。
