A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn't want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that I had an unlucky day. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs, one of my stiletto heels(细高跟鞋) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things so that they could match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.
On my way to work, I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients(客户) that morning.
Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm to make the clients believe that our plan was the best one. However, I left the plan at home. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft(草稿) of it in my office. I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of unexpected things.

★实战训练:
Life is full of the unexpected. I still remember the unlucky day I experienced. That morning, I woke up late because my clock didn't go off. By the time I got to the bus stop, the bus had already left. I was half an hour late for school. As a result, my teacher punished me and I felt sad. In the afternoon, my math teacher asked us to hand in math homework. I found I had left mine at home. What an unlucky day!
From this experience, I learn that I should be careful with my things and go to school on time.
