Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. "
Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.

2.The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that____.

3.How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? ____

B、Almost two blocks.
C、Probably three blocks.
D、Probably five or six blocks.
4.The bus driver's punishment was____.
A、being dismissed from the CTA
B、being out of work for a week
C、paying a fine of $560
D、working without pay for five days
5.Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? ____
A、Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.
B、Because the bus driver had not been fired.
