问题     The English author, Richard Savage, was once living in London in great poverty. In order to earn a little money he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the bock had been sold in the shop, and Savage was living from hand to mouth. As a result of his lack of food he became very ill, but after a time, because of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadn’t any money and couldn’t pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savage’s house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, "You know you owe your life to me and I expected some gratitude from yon."
    "I agree," said Savage, "that I owe my life to you, and to prove to you that I am not ungrateful for your work I will give my life to you." With these words he handed to him two copies entitled THE LIFE OF RICHARD SAVAGE.

选项 A、A Poor English Writer
B、A Skilled Doctor
C、A Life for a Life
D、The Life of Richard Savage

答案C

解析 题干问:“这篇文章最好的标题应足什么?”文章讲述了作家没有能力偿付看病的钱,所以用名为《理查德.萨维奇的一生》的书来抵账的故事。故事的重点是最后萨维奇用什么方法来支付他的医疗费。所以这篇文章的标题选A Life for a Life,即“一命换一命”或“—生换一生”比较合适。
