10、不久他就找到了钥匙。此时“我”真想奖励给他一条小鱼1. 答案C解析考查推理判断。根据第一段第二、三句“In the past I would have turned off the tap and joined the hunt while trying to comfort my husband.”可知，在过去，“我”会关掉水龙头，在安慰丈夫的同时帮他一起寻找钥匙；根据第一段最后三句“I dont turn around. I dont say a word. Im using a technique I learned from a dolphin trainer.”可知，这一次“我”没有
