Question

閱讀下列短文, 從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中, 選出最佳答案。

　　

    Once a day a cheap but colorful steamboat arrived from St. Louis,　　 Missouri and another from Keokuk, Iowa. Before their arrivals, the day　　 was glorious (令人愉快的) with expectation. After they set off, the　　 day was a dead and empty thing. Not only the boys but the whole　　 village felt this. After all these years I can picture that old time　　 to myself now, just as it was then: the white town sleeping lightly　　 in the sunshine of a summer morning,the streets empty or nearly so.　　 One or two salesmen would be sitting in front of the stores, with　　 their chairs tilted (傾斜) back against the walls, chins (下巴) on　　 the breasts, hats pulled down over their faces, asleep. There was the　　 great Mississippi, the great Mississippi, rolling its mile-wide way　　 along, shining in the sun.
