It had been a long, brutal day on the sales floor for young Brent. He’d had his share of "ups"--what retail salespeople say when it’s their turn with the next customer--and more than his share of downs. And now he was in danger of being shut out for the day.
He hadn’t been shut out in a long time. Even in his early days with the company, he could always sell something to someone. He was a natural.
But not on this day. This, of course, exposed him to some good-natured ridicule from his associates, who took not-so-secret delight in seeing the sales genius get his stroke of misfortune.
Brent had more at stake here than just professional pride and reputation, however. Brent was a new father. He and his wife, Kay, had decided that she would be a full-time morn, which meant he would financially support the family. When he did well on the sales floor, finances weren’t a problem. But when he struggled to make sales, the whole family struggled.
Toward the end of the day, a man came in to buy a suit. This was potentially a good sale, the kind that can turn a bad day into a good one--just like that. Brent worked hard to make the sale. But the man hesitated. Brent knew all too well the look he saw in his eyes--the look of a customer about to walk out the door empty-handed. When it became clear that the man was going to leave to do a little comparison shopping, Brent handed him his business card and invited him to return after he’d had a chance to look around.
The man looked at Brent’s card, then took a long look at Brent.
"So you’re Brent’s boy," the man said, referring to the card that identified him as Brent Jr.
"Do you know my dad?" Brent asked.
"Sure do," the man said. They chatted for a moment, establishing the link between father and son. Then the man said, "Your dad’s a good man. If you’re anything like him.., well, tell me again about that suit."
Brent called his father that night, but not to recount the story. "I just wanted to thank you," he said, "for giving me a name I can be proud of."
It is known from the passage that ______.
选项
A、Brent’s family had to struggle to make ends meet
B、Brent’s family had to experience a temporary hard time
C、the family’s future depended on Brent and his wife keeping their jobs
D、the family’s well-being was closely related to Brent’s sales performance
