问题     It is interesting to reflect how we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and patched blue jeans? A student, we say to ourselves instantly, and not living at home either, or he wouldn’t be going about with those holes in his jeans. A graceful lady in a close-fitting dress, carefully cut nails and earrings? Must be a foreigner, we think, English woman of that age don’t dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too, those shoes weren’t bought in a chain store. And that man walking along the pavement over there? Well-tailored suit, hat just at the right angle? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, it’s raining, isn’t it? Only an Englishman would carry his treasure umbrella, still perfectly rolled, in the rain.     I once read of a journalist who went into an extremely expensive department store dressed in her shabby clothes. She was eyed with suspicion as she examined the goods on display. When she finally decided on a small purchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and could she pay by cheque. The assistant politely told her that cheques were not accepted for goods of 2 or under. The next day she went back, dressed to kill, smelling of expensive perfume. She selected an even cheaper article, told the same story and her cheque was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes. I wonder if Stone Age Man selected his woman by the quality of the bearskin she was wearing?
The second time the journalist visited the store, the thing she bought cost______.

选项 A、just over two pounds
B、less than two pounds
C、exactly two pounds
D、less than she thought

答案B

解析 这是一道细节推断题。根据文章最后一段,我们得知记者第一天挑了件商品想结账时,店员告诉她2英镑或2英镑以下的商品不能用支票。很显然,记者挑的商品是不超过2英镑的,而第二天她挑了件更便宜的商品(an even cheaper article),因此肯定是少于2英镑的,故选B。
