三、阅读单选（共14小题，每小题2分，满分28分）

A

Every year, lots of people go to visit the Great Wall. The most popular part is Badaling. However, during my seven years in China, I never visited it. Because there are too many tourists.

Actually, I like places that few people visit. One day, I chose to visit Simatai—another part of the Great Wall. It’s not very easy to go up and few people go there.

At the beginning, I saw some vendors(小贩) walking along the paths(小路) with postcards. They shouted loudly to sell the postcards but I was not interested in them. Soon, one old woman followed me wherever I went. Finally, I became angry. “Don’t you know the meaning of ‘No!’?” I shouted at her and left.

When I saw the Great Wall, I felt excited and forgot the old woman. I went up the Great Wall.

Then, halfway up, I stopped. I found I was on a very dangerous path. It was no wider than a metre and there were no walls. I remembered that some tourists died here. I couldn’t move at all.

Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my back. A voice told me, “Don’t be afraid.” She said she would help me to the top. All the time, she said to me “Everything will be fine.”

Half an hour later, we reached a safe place. Feeling better, I turned around to see who she was.

It was the old woman. I felt sorry and gave her a big hug. Later, I bought all of her postcards. She smiled and took my hands in hers.

Even now, I still deeply thank the old woman.

Nelly: A whistle?

Hanna: If anything happens, you can use it to call for help.
