I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.
I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed (煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel rnaid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.
One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.
Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.
I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you." I felt an overwhelming (巨大的) sense of reward.
At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.
The author______because she wanted very much to help the boy.
选项
A、broadcast the story
B、wrote a letter to the boy
C、reported the story to the public
D、wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题,关键在于理解主人公通过什么方式帮助这个男孩。第五段中“I persuaded my boss to let me do the story.After my story was broadcast,a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.”。主人公当时是一名电视台记者,她说服老板让她去做这次采访(“do the story”),而不是选项A中的“去播出这个故事(broadcast the story)”。也不是B项和D项中给小男孩或医护人员写信,而一定是想把这件事公之于众,以求帮助。因此C是正确答案。
