Robert Fred was the general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury Park, New Jersey. One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light, Stephen Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver, walked up to Fred’s ear hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield. Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fred turned on the wipers to show he wasn’t interested.
Pearman put his head close to the window. "Come on, mister. Give me a chance. I need a job," he said. Something in Stephen Pearman’s voice moved Robert Fred. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fred handed, Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious.
"My friends told me he was just pulling my leg," said Pearman. "But I said, ’ No, he’s a businessman. I need to give it a shot.’"
Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager’s office of the big hotel. Fred gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him.
Today, Pearman works full-time setting up the hotel’s dining halls for business meetings. In the past two years, he has found a flat, married and repaid Fred’s loans.
"Mr. Fred gave me a second chance," says Pearman, "and I took advantage of it. I could have just come here a while, eaten up and left. But there is no future in washing windshields."
Ordinarily, Fred keeps away from the street People. "But Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money," Fred says: "I don’t hand my business card to just any- body. But I’m. glad I did in this case."
选项
A、Fred gladly agreed to let him do it
B、Pearman was told to do it later
C、Fred took him as a beggar
D、Pearman knew Fred was a kind man
答案
C
解析
题干意为“当皮尔曼请求擦弗雷德的挡风玻璃时发生了什么?”文章第一段最后一句说Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fred turned on the wipers to show he wasn’t interested.即弗雷德先生把皮尔曼当成乞丐来对待。所以正确的答案为C。
