B“祝他在纽约市玩得快乐”，原文中这是警察对他的欣慰和祝福，不是事情的最重要内容；

C“去找出租车司机跟他谈一下”这显然不可以能，只有

D“耐心等待”吻合警察的本意。8．Whichofthefollowingisthemostimportantaccordingtothepolicewoman?A．Findingalostguitar.B．Findingthecabdriver.C．Findingmurderers.D．Enjoyingone'sownlife答案：C细节题。依照第三段“...findingguitarswasnotasimportantasfindingmurderers....
