问题     Tom had once worked in a city office in London, but now he was out of work. He had a large family to support, so he often found himself in difficulty. He often visited Mr. White on Sundays, told him about his troubles, and asked for two or three pounds.
    Mr. White, a man with a kind heart, found it difficult to refuse the money, though he himself was poor.Tom had already received more than thirty pounds from Mr. White, but he always seemed to be in need of some more.
    One day, after telling Mr. White a long story of his troubles, Tom asked for five pounds.
    Mr. White had heard this sort of thing before, but he listened patiently to the end. Then he said, "I understand your difficulties, Tom. I’d like to help you. But I’ m not going to give you five pounds this time. I’ll lend you the money, and you can pay me off next time you see me. "
    Tom took the money, but he never appeared again.
Mr. White decided to lend, not to give Tom five pounds in order to______.

选项 A、encourage him to come again
B、get all his money back
C、get rid of him
D、thank him for his stories

答案C

解析 文章倒数第二段中,怀特先生对汤姆说,他可以借给汤姆些钱,但是下次来要钱时必须将上次的钱还上。结果是,汤姆再也没有来要钱。由此可推断出怀特先生是想摆脱汤姆,故C正确。
