　　1.C2.B3.C4.B

　　分析：

　　在一个寒冷的傍晚，一个老人等待过路的骑者带他过河。然而好几个骑者过去了，老人都无动于衷。当最后一个骑者过来的时候，老人请求他的帮助。他们顺利的到达了目的地。骑者很好奇的问老人为什么不寻求前面几个人的帮助。老人回答说没有在他们的眼中看到关心，而从这个骑者的眼中看到了关心。而这个骑者正是托马斯·杰斐逊。1.C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句Ilookedintotheeyesoftheotherridersandimmediatelyfoundnoconcernformysituation.可知老人没有请求前面骑者的帮助是因为他在这些骑者的眼中没有看到关心。故选C。2.B推理判断题。根据文章内容可以推断出最后一个骑者帮助老人是处于本身的善良和同情老人。故选B。3.C推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容可知，老人是从他们眼神判断人的。故选C。4.B标题判断题。文章中帮助老人的人是一个伟大人物托马斯·杰斐逊，他是一个非常善良和具有同情心的人。故B选项作为文章标题最合适。
