Mrs. Sommers one day found herself the unexpected possessor of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money, and the way in which it stuffed and bulged her worn old portemonnaie gave her a feeling of importance such as she had not enjoyed for years.
The question of investment was one that occupied her greatly. For a day or two she walked about apparently in a dreamy state, but really absorbed in speculation and calculation. She did not wish to act hastily to do anything she might afterward regret. But it was during the still hours of the night when she lay awake revolving plans in her mind that she seemed to see her way clearly toward a proper and judicious use of the money. ①
A dollar or two should be added to the price usually paid for Janie’s shoes, which would insure their lasting an appreciable time longer than they usually did. She would buy so and so many yards of percale for new shirt waists for the boys and Janie and Mag. She had intended to make the old ones do by skilful patching. Mag should have another gown. She had seen some beautiful patterns, veritable ’bargains in the shop windows, and still there would be left enough for new stockings two pairs apiece and what darning that would save for a while! She would get caps for the boys and sailor-hats for the girls. The vision of her little brood looking fresh and dainty and new for once in their lives excited her and made her restless and wakeful with anticipation, ②
The neighbors sometimes talked of certain "better days" that Mrs. Sommers had known before she had ever thought of being Mrs. Sommers. She herself indulged in no such morbid retrospection. She had no time no second of time to devote to the past. The needs of the present absorbed her every faculty. A vision of the future like some dim, gaunt monster sometimes appalled her, but luckily tomorrow never comes.
Mrs. Sommers was one who knew the value of bargains; who could stand for hours making her way inch by inch toward the desired object that was selling below cost. She could elbow her way if need be. she had learned to clutch a piece of goods and hold it and stick to it with persistence and determination till her turn came to be served, no matter when it came. ③ But that day she was a little faint and tired. She had swallowed a light luncheon--no! When she came to think of it, between getting the children fed and the place righted, and preparing herself for the shopping bout, she had actually forgotten to eat any luncheon at all!
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that Mrs. Sommers______.
选项
A、earned a bare living
B、was innocent and thrifty
C、was eager to be rich
D、was a person of vanity
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。首句提到Mrs,Sommers意外发现fifteen dollars,而由It seemed to her a very large amount of money和gave her a feeling of importance such as she had not enjoyed for years可以推断出她是一个一直没什么钱的女人,因此15美元让她异常兴奋,故选项A “过着穷困的日子”为答案。这里没有提到她节俭或渴望发财,排除B 和C 。本段只提到gave her a feeling of imprtance,没有提到虚荣心,排除D 。
