Question

初中英语阅读理解问题

Mr Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.

He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board:

POLICE NOTICE

NO PARKING

Mrs Brown asked his husband to steal a police notice but he was afraid to do so. Then she asked him to make one just like a police notice. Mr Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr Brown made a blue board with white letters.

POLICE NOTICE

NO PARKING

“Oh!” Mrs Brown said.“You told me you weren’t going to use the word ‘police’, but why do you use it now?” “Really?” he asked.

“Look again,” she started to laugh. “You are really clever”.

In the end, Mr Brown made a notice board and it ___D__.

A. was just the same as a police notice

B. was different in color from a police notice

C. just looked like a police notice

D. said “POLICE NOTICE, NO PARKING”

A. more people will park their cars outside his house

B. more policemen will park their cars outside his house

C. fewer people will park their cars outside his house

D. fewer people will visit him at noon later on

这篇短文没有看懂，希望能帮我解释一下~

Answer 1

布朗先生的房子是不到两英里,从他的办公室,所以他可以每天开车回家吃午饭。每次他驱车回家。中午的时候,他发现许多车在他家的外面,没有房间寻找他自己的汽车。他只好把车开到公园到别的地方去找他的车。然后,他走回了家。这使他很生气。

他装出一板在花园里面对马路。董事会说,“禁止停车”。但没人注意到它。人们似乎只服从了警方的通知在蓝色与白色字母板:

警方通知

不准停车

布朗太太问他是否会偷了警方的通知,但是他害怕这样做。然后她问他,能使人觉得像一个警察通知。布朗先生说他并不是警察,不使用“警察”。几天以后,布朗先生做了一个蓝板与白的牌子。

警方通知

不准停车

“噢!”布朗夫人说。“你还告诉我说你不打算用“警察”,但你为什么现在用它呢?”“真的吗?”他问。"你再看看"，
她笑着说“你真聪明”。

PS：这篇文章结局的确是没怎么说明白，但我估计，Mr.Brown 后来用的是“private”（私人的），这个词和“police”有点像。人们没怎么看清就误以为是“police”，而且又不犯法，这本就是个“private”私人通知。
