Well, there was a man here once by the name of Jim Smiley, in the winter of 1849—or may be it was the spring of 1850. Anyway, he was the strangest man. He was always making money on anything that turned up if he could get anybody to try to make money on the other side. And if he could not do that, he would change sides.
And he was lucky, uncommon lucky. He most always was a winner. If there was a dog-fight, he would try to win money on it. If there was a cat-fight, he would take the risk. If there was a chicken-fight, he would try to win money on it. Why, if there were two birds setting on a fence, he would want you to decide which one would fly first so he could win money.
Lots of the boys here have seen that Smiley and can tell you about him. Why, it did not matter to him. He would try to make money on anything. He was the most unusual man. Parson Walker’s wife was very sick once, for a long time, and it seemed as if they were not going to save her.
But one morning he come in, and Smiley asked him how was his wife, and he said she was better, thank God. And Smiley, before he thought, says, "Well, I’ll risk my money she will not get well."
And Smiley had a little small dog. To look at the dog, you would think he was not worth anything but to sit around and look mean and look for a chance to steal something. But as soon as there was money, he was a different dog. Another dog might attack and throw him around two or three times. Then all of a sudden Smiley’s dog would grab that other dog by his back leg and hang on till the men said it was over.
Smiley always came out the winner on that dog, at least until he found a dog once that did not have any back legs. The dog’s legs had been cut off in a machine. Well, the fighting continued long enough, and the money was gone. Then when Smiley’s dog came to make a grab the other dog’s back legs, he saw in a minute how there was a problem.
The other dog was going to win and Smiley’s dog looked surprised and did not try to win the fight anymore. He gave Smiley a look that said he was sorry for fighting a dog that did not have any back legs for him to hold, which he needed to win a fight. Then Smiley’s dog walked away, laid down and died. He was a good dog, and would have made a name for himself if he had lived, for he had intelligence. It always makes me feel sorry when I think of that last fight of his and the way it turned out.
What did Smiley do with his dog?
选项
A、He changed it to be a fighting dog.
B、He taught it how to beat the other dogs.
C、He put money on it whenever it fought.
D、He trained it to recognize money.
答案
C
解析
第6段第1句暗示Smiley也喜欢拿他的小狗打赌,因此,C为本题答案。该句中的come out表明Smiley也没有方法控制打赌的结果,第3句和第4句表明小狗并不知道什么时候算是比赛结束.它在Smiley输了打赌之后才决定要咬那条狗的后腿,从这几句的内容就可以知道小狗并不是有意为了帮Smiley赢钱才去打架的,也就是说,小狗并没有经过Smiley的专门训练,因此排除其他选项。
