问题     Do you often feel the quality of the goods we buy these days isn’t as good as it ought to be?
    In the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made.
    But now, of course, individuals don’t make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a very small part in putting something together so there isn’t any workmanship any more.
    A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out.
    She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they wouldn’t take it back, and they wouldn’t give her money back, because she bought it on sale. So the only thing she could do was to buy a new one.
    I’m sure Mary is more careful when she buys things now, and that’s what we all have to be.
选项 A、workmanship now can not be found as it was in the past
B、the toaster was broken because Mary used it too much
C、the quality of goods now isn’t as good as it was
D、it is fair enough for the store not to give money back to Mary
答案A
解析 文章中"…there isn’t any workmanship any more．"与选项 [A]workmanship now is as strong as it was in the past相吻合，所以选项[A]为正确答案。
