A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away and has been returned to his daughter
. The long-lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half buried in the sand that "looked like it had been there since the beginning of time." The note inside the bottle said, "Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $ 150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the Beachcomber Motel. " The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the note as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the message to Paula Pierce.
She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward
. But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
2. Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?
选项
A、She wanted to show gratitude for his kindness.
B、She wanted to honor her father’s promise.
C、She had been asked by her father to do so.
D、She was excited to see her father’s handwriting.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。新闻中提到,Buffington飞往新罕布什尔州,将便条送给了Pallia Pierce。Paula Pierce坚守父亲的承诺,给予Buffington便条中所写的150美元的奖励。由此可知,Paula Pierce给Buffington奖励就是为了遵守父亲当年的承诺。
