A businessman bought some goods at a market in the morning and set out at once for home with all his bags, for he wished to be in his own house before dark.
At noon he rested in a town. When he wanted to go on, the stable-boy (马童) brought his horse, saying:
"A nail(钉子) is wanting, sir, in the shoe of the horse’s left front foot. "
"Let it be wanting," answered the businessman, " the shoe will stay on for ten kilometers. "
In the afternoon he arrived at a hotel. The stable-boy came to him again and said, "Sir, a shoe is wanting from your horse’s left front foot. Shall we get a new one?"
"Let it still be wanting," said the businessman, "the horse will be all right for a few kilometers more."
So he rode on, but soon the horse began to
limp
. It had not limped for long when it fell down and broke its leg. The businessman had to leave the horse and take all the bags on his back, and go home on foot.
"That bad nail," he said to himself, "has made all this trouble."
What was found to be lost when the businessman rested in a town?
选项
A、A bag.
B、A nail.
C、A shoe.
答案
B
解析
句意:当商人在镇上休息时发现什么丢了?细节题。从文章中第三段“A nail is wanting,sir,in the shoe of the horse’s left front foot.”可知,马的蹄铁上少了一颗钉子。故选B。
