Alan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners. One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a maris who was waiting for a taxi.
"Excuse me, sir," he said, very politely, "but could you tell me the time?"
The man, who was very well-dressed and looke quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "but could you please tell me what time it is?"
This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me: he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, "Why wouldn’ t you tell me the time, sir?"
The man turned towards him and said, "
Put yourself in my shoes
. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ’ That’ s all right. ’ You may then say ’ It’ s a beautiful day. ’ to which I may reply ’Yes, I like these sunny winter days. ’ Before we know what is happening, we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite young man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk.
I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?"
Alan shook his head. " No, sir, I’m sorry, I don ’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me. "
" Exactly," the man said, " and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you. " And with these words he hurried away.
Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?
选项
A、He was too late.
B、He was very early.
C、He had left his watch home.
D、He wanted to meet the man’ s daughter.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。根据第一段最后一句“He had forgotten to put on his watch so he…a taxi.”可知,他忘记带表了,只有C选项与之相符。故选C。
