In the early 1950s, my father quit his job to start his own company. However, he got a heart attack and was sent to hospital. After three years of therapy, he moved us to New York, where he got a sales job with the English carmaker Jaguar.
One of the job’s perks(额外津贴) was the car he was given to drive. It was a two-tone Mark IX, the last of the elegant rounded Jaguars. It looked like it belonged to a movie star.
Every morning my father would drop me off at school in his Jaguar before going to work. Being the son of a blacksmith(铁匠), he was proud of the car and thought I should be proud to be driven to school in it. He loved it very much.
But the car embarrassed me. After the years of illness and debt, we probably didn’t have any more money than the mostly working-class kids at school. But we had a Jaguar, so we might as well have been Rockefellers.
The car separated me from others, especially from Danny Kowalski. He was what they called a juvenile delinquent in those days. He was high and had blond hair. It was rumoured he always carried a knife and maybe even a gun.
Every morning Danny would stand silently in the same spot by the school fence and watch me climb out of my two-tone Jaguar. I knew he hated the car and that he hated me, and that one day he would beat me up.
My father died just months later. We lost the car, of course, and soon I’d have to go live with my grandmother. Before then, Mrs. Ritchfield, an elderly neighbour, offered to walk me to school the day after the funeral.
As we arrived that morning, I could see Danny standing at the school fence, same as always. But this time, as I passed him in the company of my elderly neighbour and no elitist English car, I left as if a wall between us came down. Now I was more like Danny, more his friends. We were finally equals.
Relieved, I walked into the schoolyard. And that was morning Danny Kowalski beat me up.
In the sixth paragraph, by saying Danny Kowalski hated him very much and would beat him up one day, the author most probably implied______.
选项
A、Danny was cynical(愤世嫉俗的) about his expensive car
B、Danny was selfish
C、Danny was his best friend
D、Danny did not like him
答案
A
解析
推断题。作者认为这辆车使自己与其他孩子之间产生了隔阂,尤其是丹尼之间,因此他认为丹尼会为此恨他,甚至想痛打他。
