【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者每天乘火车去上班。他家到火车站有一条捷径，但是一到夏天，路上就会因人们所扔的垃圾而发出臭味。可是，有一天，作者看到一位身材矮小虚弱的老人在很费力地拾路上的垃圾，他深为感动，决定向她学习。

1.A.hard　　　　　　　　B.early

C.easily D.late

解析：选C。既然到火车站有捷径，那么到火车站当然是非常容易了(easily)。此处强调由于到火车站有捷径给自己所带来的方便而不仅仅是时间上的早晚。故答案选C。

2.A.rubbish B.boxes

C.bottles D.paper

解析：选A。根据下文，我们可以判断出，此处指的是人们在路上所扔出的垃圾。选项B、C、D在表达上太过于具体，文章并没有指出是哪种垃圾。另外，这三样东西一般也不会发出异味。故答案选A。
