D.Answer the questions根据短文内容回答下列问题 ,12分
Just after 4:00 PM, Addy heard a strange noise. The lights in the museum flickered (闪烁) and then went out. Outside, the sidewalks were crowded, and buses were full. People were shouting, “Blackout! The power is out!”
“Oh no, ” said Addy's mom. “The subway won't work.”
“How will we get back to Brooklyn by 5:30 for my audition(试镜)?” Addy cried.
Her mom held her hand, and they started walking in the hot August air. She pulled out her phone. “No service, ” she sighed. “I hope your sister isn't stuck underground. Zelda's normally headed home by now,” Addy's mom said, looking concerned.
By 5:00, Addy's feet hurt from walking, but what bothered(使不安) her more was the worry in her head.
Addy and her mom searched for an empty taxi. After six blocks, they finally got one. Just then, Addy saw an elderly man waving his cane(手杖). Although she was eager to get home, Addy suggested giving the man their taxi.
As they kept walking, a man outside a pizza shop gave them free slices. Addy looked at her mom curiously. “No power means no refrigeration, microwaves, or ovens. If this blackout isn't fixed, a lot of food will go bad.” Suddenly Addy's headache got worse.
“I'm sure your audition wasn't canceled,” Addy's mom said when she saw Addy's worried face. Addy's feet hurt so much that she couldn't even imagine dancing. Her head hurt too, but it wasn't what her mom thought.
Addy took a bite of her pizza. She didn't realize she was hungry. How long would the blackout last? Would her family run out of food? What about everyone else?
They reached the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset. They were almost home.
That night, Addy's family climbed the steps to the roof. This was something they did often, but tonight was special. They saw stars they had never noticed before shining over the bridge. It looked almost magical, like a bridge to a castle. They saw a long line of people still crossing, slowly heading home. Addy danced in the darkness under the stars, happy to be home, sweet home.
