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 was invited to the head office ______.
选项
A、to apply for a job as a travelling salesman
B、so that Mr. Snell could decide whether he was the man for the job
C、to find out more about the job of a travelling salesman
D、so that he could sell Caldwell’s office materials to Warman’s
答案
B
解析
这道题问Mr.Barlow应邀去公司总部做什么。文章第一段中说他申请工作之后受到邀请去见销售经理Mr.Snell。他询问了Mr.Barlow做销售员的工作经历,并在谈话结束时,同意他来Warman’s工作。由此可见,Mr.Barlow是去接受有关这份工作的面谈。因此B选项 so that Mr.Snell could decide whether he was the man for the job是正确答案。A选项to apply for a job as a travelling salesman的意思是“申请一份需外出旅行的销售工作”;C选项to find out more about the job of a travelling salesman的意思是“查找旅行销售这份工作的更详细的信息”;D选项 so that he could sell Caldwell’s office materials to Warman’s的意思是“为了把Caldwell的办公用品卖给Warman’s”。这三项都不合文意。
