分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了Harry的不幸的一天，他因為干凈襯衫燙壞了不得不穿有血的襯衫，因此被警察帶到警局，導致遲到被老板開除．
解答 BCA
18．B細節理解題．根據第二段可知順序是Harry的干凈襯衫上到處都是血，Harry熨了一件襯衫，有敲門聲，看電表的人來了，襯衫燙壞了，Harry不得不穿著那件有血跡的襯衫．故選B．
19．C細節理解題．根據最后一段"When Harry's taxi stopped outside his office，a policeman happened to be standing there．He saw the blood on Harry's shirt"可知Harry被帶到警局是因為他襯衫上有血并且在出租車里．故選C．
20．A推理判斷題．根據最后一段"When he finally arrived at the office at about four，his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job"可知，他的老板叫他走開，找另一份工作是因為他工作遲到了．故選A．
