Warman’s, the makers of office materials, had advertised for a travelling salesman. Mr. Barlow applied for the job, and soon afterwards was invited to the company’s head office to meet Mr. Snell, the sales manager. Mr. Snell asked Mr. Barlow what experience he had had as a salesman.
"I worked as a salesman for a brush company until six months ago. I sold brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to door selling direct to housewives."
Mr. Snell then asked him why he had left that job.
"Well, to be honest, it was very hard work," Mr. Barlow replied. "It meant walking sometimes six or eight miles a day. But the real reason for leaving was that I didn’t think very highly of the goods that I was selling. They were not of the best quality, and that made it difficult for me to be sincere when I had to tell housewives what wonderful brushes they were. I knew perfectly well they wouldn’t last beyond a month. What’s more, the pay was rather poor. I realized after a while that I wouldn’t be able to support a family on the money I was earning."
"I see," said Mr. Snell. "So what did you do next?"
"For the last six months I have been a salesman in a department store," said Mr. Barlow.
"And do you think you could sell Warman’s office materials with clear conscience?" Mr. Snell asked. "Do you think you could be sincere, as you put it, about selling the papers, inks, copying- machines and so on that we produce here?"
Mr. Barlow said that he thought he could; that Warman’s office materials enjoyed a very high reputation, and that in his department at Caldwell’s he sold almost nothing else. He said he had always wanted to work for a big company with a good name; to travel all over the country, selling goods to other companies, rather than to housewives on doorstep; and—he added with a smile—to enjoy the money and the working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied.
"Mr. Barlow," said Mr. Snell, "do you have a clean driving license?"
"Yes, I do," Mr. Barlow replied.
"Then as long as your medical examination proves to be satisfactory, I’m quite prepared to offer you the job." Mr. Snell got up and shook Mr. Barlow by the hand. "Congratulations," he said, "and welcome to Warman’s."
Mr. Barlow thought he could be "sincere" about selling Warman’s office materials because ______.
选项
A、Warman’s would pay him well to sell their materials
B、Warman’s materials were known to be of high quality
C、he was used to selling them, so knew how to do it
D、he would not have to sell direct to housewives
答案
B
解析
这道题问Mr.BaHow为何认为他销售Warman’s的办公产品时,可以真诚面对顾客。在第八段里,当Mr.Badow回答Mr.Snell的问题时说,Warman’s office materials enjoyed a very high reputation,and that in his department at Caldwell’s he sold almost nothing else.意思是说,“Warman’s的办公用品享有盛誉,他在Caldwell’s时卖出去的几乎都是Warman’s的产品”。这与B选项Warman’s materials were known to be of high quality.“Warman’s的产品品质优异是众所周知的”同义。其他各项的内容均和此问题无关。A选项意思是“Warman’s愿支付他高额工资去销售他们的产品”,C选项意思是“他过去习惯销售这些产品,因此知道如何去做”,D选项意思是“他不必直接向家庭主妇去推销”。
