A long and painful struggle with cancer and chemotherapy had caused baldness for Barbara Basset, of Mocrstown, NJ. The day her blond hair feel out in clumps was, for Barbara, the worst day of her ordeal. Detemined to use some form of camouflage, she tried a wig but found it itchy and hot. Scarves slopped off or clung too tightly, accentuating the problem. Finally, a friend suggested Barbara call her neighbor, Marie Stevens, an accomplished seamstress who worked at home.
Barbara explained to Marie that she needed something between a scarf and a hat, with a shape that suggested hair beneath. It had to fasten securely, and had no opening that would reveal baldness. Sensing a kindred spirit, Marie agreed to work something up. She was no stranger to medical tragedy herself, having lost two of her seven children to cystic fibrosis.
The design itself was simple, a combination scarf/hat of light cotton and polyester that fit well, disguising the lack of hair. "Smart" was the description Barbara’s friends came up with. For Barbara elegance was secondary to the scarf’s greatest asset.
"That silly little hat saved me," she told friends.
Shortly after, Marie and Barbara formed a partnership selling the scarves, which they called Hide & Chic. They developed a line of colors, plus small elasticized versions for children. They had a brochure printed, and set it to oncology units and social-service directors in hospitals.
Soon after the company, Mare-bar, Inc. was on its feet, Barbara learned that her cancer had recurred . Despite more chemotherapy, she died, at age 40.
"She made me promise that I’d keep things going," Made says, "When she died, I was pretty low. But I kept getting mail from cancer patients who described how our scarf/hat had made Such a big difference. I got going again. It’s a nice legacy for Barbara, who was a very special lady."
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
选项
A、The scarf/hat is also beneficial to some other people.
B、Barbara did not like the scarves and hats because they either felt slippery or were too tight.
C、Maria was one of Barbara’s kinswomen.
D、Barbara thought that the scarf/hat made her look stupid.
答案
A
解析
从文中最后一段Marie的叙述“不时有癌症患者写信反映how our scarf/hat had made such a big difference”,可判断scarf/hat对其他人也很有用。第2段两人有着同病相怜的感觉,因为Marie的孩子也遭受过疾病。第3段只是说这件饰物可能不那么优雅,但并不是说戴上它使Barbara显得很愚蠢。B、C、D项不正确。
