Jim was a young writer. Once, he went to Germany to learn more about the life there. He found a very nice room. The owner was an old man. Jim decided to rent(租) it.
The old man smiled, saying, “I think you can try living here for a few days. Then you can decide whether to live for a long time.” Jim agreed. The room was quite comfortable. The cleaners took away the trash every day.
On the fifth day, Jim broke a glass carelessly. He was very nervous, feeling that the glass was expensive. However, when he told the old man on the phone, the old man said, “Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I’ll bring one later.” Jim swept the glass pieces into the trash bag together with other things, and put them outside of the door. The old man came a moment later. He asked, “Where are the glass pieces?”
Jim answered quickly, “I put them outside.” The old man went out at once. After looking at the trash bag, he came back to the room with a gloomy face. He said to Jim, “You can move out tomorrow, because I won’t rent the room to you.”
Jim couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “Why are you upset? Because I broke your favourite glass?” “No, it’s because you didn’t think of others.”
The old man went out of the room. He picked up every piece of glass very carefully and put all the glass pieces into a trash bag, and wrote with the pen on the bag: “Dangerous! Glass pieces inside.”

1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句"Once, he went to Germany to learn more about the life there."可知Jim去德国是为了了解、体验当地的生活，对应选项C。
2. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段"The room was quite comfortable. The cleaners took away the trash every day."可知有清洁工每日清理垃圾，居住环境舒适，可推断出房间的走廊非常干净，对应选项A。
3. 词义猜测题。根据后文老人告知Jim不再把房子租给他，能看出老人此时心情不悦，所以"gloomy"的中文意思是“阴沉的”，对应选项C。
4. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段老人的话"No, it's because you didn't think of others."可知老人拒绝租房是因为他认为Jim没有充分为他人着想、不关心他人，对应选项C。
5. 主旨大意题。全文围绕老人因为Jim处理碎玻璃时没有考虑到碎玻璃会划伤清理垃圾的人，从而拒绝续租的故事展开，核心主旨是告诉我们要多为他人着想，所以最佳标题是"Think More of Others"，对应选项B。
