Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms. In fact, I have a positive horror of it. Applying for a driving licence, registering for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad--every thing nowadays seems to involve giving information about one’ s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter in hand. When applying for a job, it may be of some obscure interest to a prospective employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why should he want to know that my father was a tobacconist who lived in Fulham and died when he was 82?
The authorities who require one to fill up forms frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put to one’s intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when faced with such questions, my mind goes blank and I can hardly remember my own date of birth, let alone my nationality. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? Have I7 What do they mean by ’ serious’ 7 I had my tonsils out in hospital when I was eight, and my mother always assured me I was ’ delicate’ , but father contended I was born lazy. Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word ’ defects’ applies to my character. Am I supposed to admit that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of which are true.
Of all, I think job applications are the worst. ’ Education--previous experience--posts held-- give dates... ’ Terrified by the awful warning about giving false declarations which appears at the bottom of the form, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. However hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily ac count and which I am certain, if left blank, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention. Even when the form is safely posted, there is no relief as I hourly await and order from angry official to explain differences on my form.
From the information he gives about himself, it seems that the writer ______.
选项
A、suffers from a physical deformity
B、has had all his teeth removed
C、has some trouble with his eyesight
D、never gets up in the morning
答案
C
解析
此题考查的是学生对文章细节内容的了解。文章第二段的后半部分主要表达了作者对表格中一些询问健康状况的问题的感触。文章指出作者戴隐形眼镜,即 wear contact lenses,这就说明他视力不是很好;紧接着说my upper teeth are not my own,说明他只有removed his upper teeth而不是remove all his teeth,所以B选项不正确;这一段文字的最后部分说他find it difficult to get up in the morning而不是ne
