[原文]I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house,and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programme for school children to which I listened every morning.

  I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving,I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. Never to come back to the country I was leaving was hardly in my head then.

以后再也聽不到學生廣播節目了，假如考生根據這一部分內容進行判斷，很容易誤選C項；如果只注意第二段中的"…the strange and magical places…"，則容易誤選D項。考生之所以會誤選這些選項是因為慣性思維或者是只根據某一處細節就匆忙確定答案而忽視了段落之間的邏輯關系。文章中提到作者哭泣是去美國之前所發生的事情，而此處問的是在去美國的那一刻作者的內心感受。文章雖然沒有直接表明作者當時十分興奮，可是第二段中提到作者與朋友和親戚道別時幾乎沒有哭，而是在思考將要看到的所有陌生而又神奇的地方，由此推測出作者當時感到無比興奮。
