四、阅读短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。
Yesterday my parents were heading off on a little holiday and I took them to the train station. Upon arrival，the rain was pouring down.
I got their luggage(行李) out，helped them get to the elevator and sent them on their way. As I was walking back to the parking lot，I saw an elderly man walking slowly toward the bus station. Obviously he had no umbrella. I walked over and asked him where he was going. It turned out that he was heading to the same town as I was，just a 15-minute drive. I offered him a lift which he gratefully accepted.
We had a lovely chat on the way and I learned some of his history. He was 87 and heading to the nursing home he had just put his beloved wife in last week. He had his driving license taken away last year so he had to take public transport every day. A tear fell down his cheek(脸颊) as he told me about his wife. I tried to hold back my own tears but failed. As I dropped him off at the entrance of the nursing home，I gave him the bunch(束) of flowers I had in the car which I had given to my mom on Mother's Day.
I would much rather see them enjoyed by him and his wife than just take them back home. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he thanked me gratefully. As I made my way back to my car，I totally lost control of my emotions and cried like a baby. I just felt that all the stars shone for some reason and I was meant to meet him today. I was very glad to be able to help him in some way.
