A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th president of the United States, who met him and helped him free.
The event happened in the early morning in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, "I wish you won’t take that."
The thief, gaining his voice, said, "Why?"
"I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is on its back," the President said.
The thief read," Presented to Calvin Coolidge."
"Are you President Coolidge?" he asked.
The President answered "Yes, and the House of Representatives gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over."
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, "I’ll take this and leave everything else."
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.
He then told the young man "There is a guard in the corridor." The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
Coolidge counted out $32 ______.
选项
A、in order not to be killed by the thief
B、in order to be out of danger
C、so as to help the young man overcome his difficulty
D、because he had no more money
答案
C
解析
此题是对细节信息进行引申推理的考查。题中关键词是$32。首先迅速在文中查出它的位置,再阅读上下文。倒数第2段...added...room mate...rail tickets表明总统数出$ 32给小偷,是为了帮助他付旅馆费和买车票,即帮他解决困难,故C项是正确答案。而A、B、D项的信息不仅文章中没有提到,也没有暗示。应视为干扰项,予以排除。
