It was a cold rainy day. My mother and I drove to a hill. It was difficult to make a two-hour trip along the highway (高速路) in such weather. I didn't want to go. But my mother asked me to go to see something at the top of the hill.
After driving for a long time, we stopped the car and got out. Walking along a path, we turned at a corner. From the top of the hill, I saw many flowers there, like a carpet (地毯) before us.
I have a lot of questions. Who planted these beautiful flowers? How? When?
As we went on, we saw a sign with words on it, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking."
The first answer was, "One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain (大脑)." The second was, "One at a Time." The Third, "Started in 1971."
On our way home, I was so amazed (惊讶的) by what we had seen. The woman changed the world. One bulb (一株) at a time. She started about 50 years ago. "It might be just the start of an idea, but she kept at it." I thought to myself, "If I had a dream and worked hard on it, just a little every day, what could I get?" And then, I told my mother, "I will start tomorrow."

11. 细节理解题。根据短文第一段内容可知，当天是寒冷的雨天，这样的恶劣天气下走高速完成两小时的行程非常困难，因此作者不想去山上，文中并未提及作者忙工作、不爱爬山、不想和妈妈同行的相关内容，故选A。
