Since man first scrawled in the dirt with his finger, people have searched for better ways to record the written word. Today, that quest is perhaps best exemplified by one of the writing instrument industry’s leaders: Parker Pen.
In America, the pen-making industry officially began in 1809. But, it wasn’t until the 1880s that the fountain pen as we now know got its start. Among the early industry leaders was George Safford Parker, a school teacher from Janesville, who became frustrated with the unreliability of the writing instruments then available to his students.
To improve his insufficient teaching salary, Parker had a sideline as an agent for John Holland fountain pens. The pens were unreliable, delivering too much ink at times and at other times, no ink at all. In any case, Parker felt obligated to repair the pens he sold to his students. So, he purchased a few small tools, and began to learn the inner workings of fountain pens. As the students learned they could depend on their teacher to keep their pens in working order, the number of pens he sold increased, so did his frustration. Finally, he decided he could make a better pen himself. And he did.
Parker patented his first fountain pen design on December 10, 1889. Two years later he entered a partnership with insurance man W. E Palmer and in February of 1892 they incorporated the Parker Pen Company.
选项
A、Because he wanted to make more money.
B、Because he was fired by the school because he sold pens to his students.
C、Because he was proud of his repair skills.
D、Because he felt the pens he sold needed to be improved.
答案
D
解析
本题相对较难,需要理解原文。原文说Parker 代理的钢笔问题繁多,他不得不自学修理,而他的学生因为知道他会修,就更多地在他这里买钢笔,所以他的修理工作量也更大,挫败感也加深。最后,他决定开始制造更好的钢笔。因此,我们可以推断出Parker 是因为觉得他出售的钢笔不好才开始自己制造的。
