A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th president of the United States, who met him and helped him free.
The event happened in the early morning in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, "I wish you won’t take that."
The thief, gaining his voice, said, "Why?"
"I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is on its back," the President said.
The thief read," Presented to Calvin Coolidge."
"Are you President Coolidge?" he asked.
The President answered "Yes, and the House of Representatives gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over."
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, "I’ll take this and leave everything else."
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.
He then told the young man "There is a guard in the corridor." The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days? Because ______.
选项
A、the former President was still living in the White House
B、the former First Lady hadn’t* left the White House
C、the First Lady liked to live there
D、he liked to live there
答案
B
解析
本题是对细节信息和词汇知识的考查。其中why..Coolidge lived...Hotel是重点词汇。第2段第2句He...living at Hotel说明他现住在Hotel;第3句former President’s wife ...still living...White House与B项中的former First Lady和hadn’t left意思最接近,都表示前总统夫人尚未离开白宫。因此B项是正确答案。A项中人物(former President)与原文不符;C项中liked一词不符合原文的意思,文章里并未讲the First Lady喜欢住在白宫。至于D项,文章中也没有讲he liked住饭店;所以也是错误的。
