What conclusion can we draw about Mike before he went to the camping school?
M: My brother Mike is just on a course at the Green-park camping school.
W: Really? What made him decide to do that?
M: Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go listen.
W: You mean he really didn’t want to go?
M: I think he wanted to go, but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he has done it, he is very pleased with himself. He’s always talking about it.
W: So he enjoyed it, didn’t he?
M: Not exactly. I think he’s enjoying the feeling of having done it more than he actually enjoyed doing it.
W: What sorts of things did he do?
M: Em, all sorts of opening-air activities: hiking, camping, and canoeing. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then ride it again without getting out. He said the water was very cold, but he hardly noticed it at the time.
W: Why not?
M: He was busy riding the canoe.
W: That doesn’t sound very comfortable at this time of the year.
M: That’s what I said when he told me. On another occasion, he had to spend the day and night by himself in the open country.
W: Was he frightened?
M: He was at first, apparently. But then he got used to it.
W: It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good. I expect it made him more self-reliant.
M: That’s what he says. And now, he wants me to go.
选项
A、He was eager to do the course.
B、He had done outdoor activities.
C、He enjoyed life in the open.
D、He was reluctant and timid.
答案
D
解析
女士在听到男士说其弟弟去参加了某个课程时,便问是什么原因促使他参加,男士说他弟弟是受了同学的激将而去参加的,并且有点害怕。D中的reluctant(不情愿的)和timid(胆小的)分别对应这两点,故选D。
