During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments . He said, "I never drink when I'm working --- I would lose my license." He usually goes home between 2 and 3 o'clock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday items and to seal them in a special box. The box was marked "To be opened after midnight, December 31st, AD 2000",and was kept in the Colorado College Library. One hundred years later, on the appointed day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants of people who had placed things inside the box. When the box was opened after midnight, the things inside the box were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photos, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and lots of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the President of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelt's friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time. Many of the letters were written to their descendants. They describe the hopes that the people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand people. Now nearly half a million people live there. Colorado College Library has scanned the materials and put them on a website.

But it seems that the president was not without faults. A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn't return them. If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library $300,000 for being 220 years late. On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn't sign his name in the borrower's book. He just wrote "president" to show who had taken them out. The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing. The New York Society Library doesn't expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books. Question: The library hopes _ . Options: A: Gorge Washington will return the book.
