(1)I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and there are some homeless people in the downtown, especially the University area. I used to give a lot of money to the homeless, feeling sorry for their misfortune. But as time passed, I fell into a victim to many of the circumstances of a homeless person. After I was divorced from my husband, I became a single mom with no home, a huge debt, and hardly any income. As a result, I became very mean and stopped giving to the people on the side of the road.
(2)Through my working hard, things started to change for me. I became responsible enough to have a home with a back yard for my daughter, and plenty of food, and I started to pull myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with the sign "Will work for food." I passed by. My daughter commented, "Mommy, you used to always give to those people in need. But now..." I replied, "Honey, they just use that money for alcohol or other bad things." She didn’t respond. But when I said that, I didn’t feel right.
(3)Three days later, I was driving to pick up my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner with the appearance of worries, and suddenly something deep inside me said, "Just help the guy." So I rolled down my window, and he ran over with enthusiasm. He said, "Kind lady, I only need 77 cents." I reached into my pocket and found that I didn’t take my purse. And then I embarrassedly spread out my hands to show that I was in no position to help him. But when he turned away, I called to him, "Wait a moment! " I found in my ashtray there sat three quarters and two pennies. Oddly enough, it was the very 77 cents.
(4)My skin was prickling as I saw this. I scooped it up and gave it to him. He burst out with joy and tears in his eyes, "Wow, you just made it possible for me to see my mom for Christmas! Thank you so much! I haven’t visited my mother for three years. The bus is leaving in 20 minutes! I have to go now."
(5)It was the moment that I’ll never forget. I think that man won’t forget it either, but I was the one who got the best gift in life—GIVING. It also strikes me that nothing is a coincidence, and every giving has meaning, although it is the humble 77 cents.
The author refused to help the homeless person with the sign because _____.
选项
A、the person wasn’t able to work
B、she didn’t need the person to work for her
C、she might think the person was able to work as her
D、the person would use the money for a bad purpose
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的the homeless person with the sign定位到第2段。同那些无家可归的人一样,作者遭受过悲惨的遭遇,但她依靠自己的努力,过上了好生活。由此可推断,作者拒绝帮助那个挂着牌子的人可能是认为他完全有能力像她一样靠自己的努力过上好生活,而不用在街头乞讨,故选C。A没有原文依据;在美国街上常有乞讨者胸前挂牌子,上面写着“Will Work for Food!”(我给你工作,你给我吃的),实际只是为了乞讨,B的理解有误:D虽然在文中出现,但该段末句作者提到她这样说可能不太好,因此排除D。
