A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away and has been returned to his daughter
. The long-lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half buried in the sand that "looked like it had been there since the beginning of time." The note inside the bottle said, "Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $ 150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the Beachcomber Motel. " The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the note as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the message to Paula Pierce.
She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward
. But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
2. Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?
选项
A、The return of a bottled message to its owner’s daughter.
B、A New Hampshire man’s joke with friends on his wife.
C、A father’s message for his daughter.
D、The history of a century-old motel.
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。新闻开篇指出,新罕布什尔州的一位先生把一个装有便条的瓶子扔到海里,五十年后被人在1,500英里外捡到并归还给这位先生的女儿。由此可知,新闻的主要内容是漂流瓶中的便条归还主人女儿。
