I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Leangles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, "Mr. Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my name plate. If he’d have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips (小费). Okay, I’m outside and put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction (反应) is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, "I’m sorry, I can’t." They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and put it in their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I’m sorry, I can’t," they feel a little put down. They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can’t." It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically (身体上的) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.
What can be the best title for this text?
选项
A、How Hard Life Is for Box Boys
B、Getting along with Customers
C、Why I Gave up My Job
D、The Art of Taking Tips
答案
C
解析
问标题也为主旨大意题。标题反映文章大意,要求选项的归纳范畴应恰如其分,既不能只提文章中的一个细节,犯理解过窄的错误,也不能将文章以外的内容概括于其中,犯理解过宽的错误。这需要通读全文进行综合分析才可得出答案。先看文章各段大意:第一段作者介绍本人曾在超市做box boy。第二段通过佩戴身份牌引发的事例说明这个工作没有人情味儿。第三段通过作者按照超市经理规定拒绝收小费而经常引起的与顾客之间的不愉快的事例,发泄了作者对上级不顾实际情况发号施令的不满。第四段表达作者由于以上原因决定辞职。因此本题的答案应为Why I Gave up My Job。作者在文中提及box boy的工作是累人的以及与顾客相处等方面的问题,但都不是文章的主旨,而是用来说明辞职的原因。
