Why did Sherman Alexie only take day jobs?
W: Good Morning, Dr. Sherman Alexie. Let’s talk about your life. Where do you come from?
M: I come from the Raze, an Indian reservation. I grew up there, lived there until 18. I lived on and off the reservation for the next 6 or 7 years during college. I lived there after I graduated and worked at a high school exchange program. I thought I would do that kind of job to support my writing, day jobs that require no emotional investment beyond 8 hours a day where I would not need to bring work home. I did not want to be part of management or anybody important on the job. I wanted to be completely replaceable. That is what I thought I would be doing for most of my life and writing. Then I got a grant and my first book got a front-page review in the New York Times Book Review.
W: When did writing enter your life?
M: Books have always been in my life. My dad loved books and most of what he read were westerns, spy novels, and mysteries. I grew up loving books, copying my dad’s love for books. But nobody had showed me a book written by an Indian, not even one piece of a poem. Nothing. At that time, I was going to be a physician. I loved math and science. I got to college, could not handle physiology, and was looking around for options and took a poetry writing class for fun.
W: Poetry was your way in?
M: Yes, that’s where I got started. I took the class and honestly I thought poetry would be an easy grade. But I completely underestimated poetry and what it would do to me and a realm of possibility for it. I took the class and was hooked about ten minutes after reading my first contemporary poem.
选项
A、He could bring unfinished work home.
B、He might have time to pursue his interests.
C、He might do some evening teaching.
D、He could invest more emotion in his family.
答案
B
解析
本题考查对文章的推理判断。这道题的一个难点是问题和原文的表述不一致;另一个难点是,题干中的选项在原文中也没有直接的表述,这就要求做进一步的推理。在原文中会听到这样一句话:“day jobs that require no emotional investment beyond 8 hours a day where I would not need to bring work home”。必须根据这句话作进一步的推理,最可能的答案就是B He might have time to pursue his interests.
