問題詳情：

The phone rang. It was Bea, my 86-year-old friend. Ben wanted to know if I could take her to see the doctor. I said I could. On the date of the appointment I drove over to her home to pick her up.

Bea’s eyesight (視力) was failing so she wasn’t able to drive her car anymore. However, she still kept her car and said that I could drive it if necessary.

Bea’s appointment went well and we were on our way to get a bite to eat. The traffic was slow as we were near a shopping mall. Suddenly, someone hit us from behind. Bea was very angry.

I was feeling a little nervous when I got out of the car. As I walked around the car, a young African American woman got out of her car angrily! The other doors of her car started to open. For some unknown reason I walked over to this young woman and put my arms around her and gave her a hug(擁抱). When I hugged her, all the other doors shut!

Bea got out. When she saw me hugging this girl, she calmed down. I called the police and they came and took a report. I really don’t know what was actually going on that day. I do know that I suddenly had the thought to hug the woman and I believed the hug would be a good thing.
