試題分析：本文主要介紹了Mrs Grant在公交車上錯拿了一把雨傘，以及由此引出的幽默故事。
小題1:C 考查動詞辨析及語境理解。Keep 繼續；bring帶來；take 帶走；leave 留下.根據前一句中的“Mrs Grant離開家時天空很晴朗“可知，她決定不帶雨傘，take an umbrella是固定搭配，因此答案為C。
小題2:D 考查連詞辨析及語境理解 before 在。。之前；until 直到。。才；though 雖然；when當。。時候。根據后文她拿錯傘，可知當汽車到市場時雨還沒有停，“當....的時候”應該用連詞when，因此答案為D
小題3:A 考查動詞及語境理解 hanging 懸掛；appearing 出現；dropping 掉下；losing失去。由外面正在下雨及關鍵詞“心不在焉的”，可知她應該是順手拿起“掛在”她前面的雨傘，因此答案為A。
小題4:B 考查形容詞及語境理解 angry 憤怒；sorry 抱歉 ；lucky 幸運的；glad高興的。等她知道拿錯傘后，一定是不好意思，因此答案為B。
小題5:D 考查名詞及語境理解  reply 回答；call 打電話；suggestion 建議；look表情。傘主人此時的臉上應該是非常不高興，因為最需要傘的時候，它卻被別人給拿走了，因此答案為D。
小題6:B 考查動詞及語境理解  promised 承諾；decided 決定；agreed 同意；remembered 記得。本題題意為“然后她決定再買一把當作禮物送給女兒。”“決定”應該表示為decide，因此答案為B。
小題7:B 考查動詞及語境理解  hiking 遠足；shopping 購物 ；trying 試著；searching 搜查。根據句意 她去市場的目的是購物，因此答案為B。
小題8:C 考查動詞及語境理解  meant 意味著；explained 解釋；saw 看到；forgot 忘記。根據句意 她坐上車后才“看見”，故用動詞saw。
小題9:D 考查形容詞及語境理解  jealous 妒忌的；bored 厭倦的；satisfied 滿意的；uncomfortable 不舒服的。本句句意為“她正坐在那個上午讓她感到尷尬的婦女旁邊，因此答案為D。
小題10:A  考查名詞及語境理解  day 天；meal 飯；journey 旅行；present 目前。這正是文章的幽默所在，那個婦女以為Mrs Grant又拿錯了別人兩把傘，故諷刺她說你今天太幸運了。
