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."
Another reason Mr. Barlow left his job was that ______.
选项
A、he was given a job selling brushes and dusters at Caldwell’s
B、he applied for the job of travelling salesman at Warman’s
C、his family did not support him in his work as a brush salesman
D、he was not earning enough money as a brush salesman
答案
D
解析
这道题问Mr.Barlow离开第一份工作的另一个原因是什么。答案可在第四段末找到。I realized after a while that…“我意识到作为一个刷子的推销员,我挣的钱还不够养家糊口”。supporting意思是“养活”。这导D选项he was not earning enough money as a brush salesman意思相同。C选项意思是“他的家人不支持他做刷子推销员的工作”。A选项描述的工作与他实际工作是销售办公用品不符。B选项为“他申请了Warman’s公司的推销员的工作”,这并不是离开第一份工作的原因,因为他离开那份工作是在申请Warman’s推销员工作之前的6个月。
