Today is the anniversary of that afternoon in April a year ago that I first saw the strange and appealing doll in the window of Abe SheftePs toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads: Dr.Samuel Amory.I remember just how it was that day: the first hint of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.
As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel’s, I was made once more aware of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the approaching birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending modest gifts.Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the confusing collection of unappealing objects-a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft drinks.And thus it was that my eyes eventually came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face.I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through which I was looking, but I was aware that a tremendous impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.
Why did the author go past Sheftel’s ?
选项
A、He was on his way to work.
B、He was looking for a present for his niece.
C、He wanted to buy some envelopes.
D、He liked to look in the shop windows.
答案
A
解析
本题可参照文章的第2段。开始时作者说在上班的路上路过那家玩具店,从中可知作者并非专门去玩具店买东西,只不过是路过而已。因此A项为正确答案。
