Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery; giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. " Wasn’ t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?" I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’ t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints. "
When the author needed a post office box,______.
选项
A、he had to put his name on a waiting list
B、he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation
C、many people had applied for post-office boxes before him
D、he asked the postmaster to make one for him
答案
C
解析
本题的解答应同到文中小故事中,通过细节进行判断。文中有“I was toldat the window that there were no boxes left,and that my name would have to go on a longwaiting list.”(在服务窗口我被告知已经没有邮递箱了,我的名字不得不写在一个长长的等待名单上。)从“long”这个词我们知道在他之前还有很多人。所以选C项。
