I decided a few months ago that I was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I got a free airplane ticket, but had to pay the hotel in cash, which I really couldn’t afford. I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.
About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable (可转手的) to another person, couldn't be changed to a later date and wasn't refundable. For the next two weeks I tried selling it on Craig's list with no success. Five days before the "big weekend", I gave up trying to get any money back and decided I'd contact some acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free stay. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.
That's when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the room in the wrong way. Instead of viewing it for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put it to good use, and that was the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it. I eventually found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made it easier to transfer the room. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter "they had a blast".
1.We can learn from paragraph 1 that the author______.
A. had a tight budget
B. bought his flight in cash
C. was on business in Chicago
D. preferred a hotel in good condition
2.Why did the writer decide to offer the room to someone?

C. It cost him nothing.
D. His friend needed it.
3.The writer said he was looking at the room in the wrong way to mean that______.

C. he made a mistake about the room
D. he should change the way of thinking
