Smith considered himself to have been very fortunate in life. From his father he had inherited, at the age of seventeen, an easy-going disposition (性情), five hundred pounds in cash from a life insurance policy, and a good mathematical brain. The first legacy had enabled him to endure without resentment (怨恨) the supervision of a reluctant and ill-tempered guardian (监护人) ; the second had enabled him to use the scholarship he had won to a university; the third resulted in his gaining a science doctorate in his middle twenties. By the time he was thirty he was in the employ of a large engineering concern and running one of the experimental departments, a little surprised that he should be financially so well rewarded for pursuing his personal interests.
At the age of thirty-two he had made his first trip abroad. It had been a success. To their delight, his employers discovered that, in addition to technical ability which earned the respect of all those whom he dealt with, he had the faculty (才能) of making himself popular, which was rare in a man of his particular qualifications. And so, in the years that followed, occasional trips abroad had become part of his working life. The excitement he felt on arriving in strange cities never dulled. He enjoyed meeting men of other nationalities and learning some knowledge of their languages, especially the former. It did not take him long to appreciate that all men were individuals and that none could truly be called "typical" of his nation.
It is suggested in the passage that men of Smith’s qualifications________.
选项
A、earned respect easily
B、were always successful in their careers
C、traveled abroad quite often
D、were not usually popular socially
答案
D
解析
