Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to ask her to marry him. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.
After an 11000-mile flight across the globe, Dolby was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flatmate asking what she was doing there "It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us," she told The Times. “He is the most romantic(浪漫的) person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(易冲动的) people. We are always trying to surprise each other. "
Johnstone, a 27-year-old construction worker, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise. He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement(订婚) ring and flowers. “I really missed Amy and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia," he said.
Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. "I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I accepted," she said.
Why did Johnstone get a job in Sydney?
选项
A、The job could help him fly round Australia.
B、He wanted to save money for his wedding.
C、The job there was easy and well-paid.
D、He needed the money to see Dolby.
答案
B
解析
分析推理题。短文提到Johnstone在澳大利亚工作的地方是第四段倒数第二句:... he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise(……他在悉尼的一处建筑工地上找了一份工作并开始存钱,准备给Amy一个惊喜)。而由后文的描述、尤其是最后一段Johnstone向Amy求婚的情况可知,Johnstone所准备的“惊喜”就是向Amy求婚,因此本题答案是[B]。其余三项都不合这一逻辑。
