问题     Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
    Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. " Just a few hours," replied Pablo. Martin asked, "Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?" "I have enough for my family," Pablo said. "And what do you do with the rest of your day?" asked Martin. "I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life. " Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch many more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
    "Then what?" asked Pablo. "Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars," replied Martin. "How long will that take?" asked Pablo.
    Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years. "And then what?" asked Pablo.
    "Well, that’s the best part," Martin said. "You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards. "
What makes the Mexican fisherman happy is________.

选项 A、many friends to visit him
B、a full and busy life
C、more boats and more fish
D、the house near the ocean

答案B

解析 细节理解题,文章没有谈到很多朋友来拜访这个渔夫,所以排除A。C和D选项中提到的内容不是渔民所提到的,而是这个生意人给渔夫出的建议,生意人用自己的眼光觉得更多的船以及海边的大房子会让渔民很开心,但这些只是生意人自己单方面的想法,因此排除这两项。故选B。
