I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself. Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously. At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You've hit the car parked behind you，” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car's windscreen, giving my phone number. I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me，” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he'd witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back？” he asked. He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述作者因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具而导致了一系列问题，告诉我们：过分自信是愚蠢的。 4．The man felt ________ to have delivered the furniture himself. A．grateful B．proud C．confident D．regretful 解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，“我”本应付费让别人装运家具的，但是出于对自己驾车能力的愚蠢的自信，“我”决定租一辆卡车自己装运。结合下文描述的“我”停车时撞上别人的车可知，“我”对决定自己装运家具的事感到后悔，D项意为“后悔的”，符合语境，故D项正确。 5．The man trembled violently because ________. A．the lorry was too difficult to drive B．he caused a terrible traffic accident C．he was afraid to see the three people D．the furniture was too heavy for him 解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing”及第二段最后一句“My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously”可知，由于卡车难以驾驶，“我”十分紧张，故A
