问题     Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News "Today" show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she’d like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
   Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
   One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Arm for books on cancer (癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Arm has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
   Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
   Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.
   Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!
   At McCarley’s bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programmes, helping them make sense of the world.
How did Ann help the child get the operation he needed?
选项 A、Ann persuaded the boy to speak on TV.
B、Ann paid for the operation herself.
C、Ann’s boss agreed to raise money.
D、Ann’s news report moved some doctors.
答案D
解析 [解析] 推理判断题。文章最后四段描述了主人公帮助一个生来残疾的小孩的故事。通读这几段不难看出，她是通过说服老板让她做关于这个小孩的节目并播出、引起社会关注而使小孩得以手术来帮助这个小孩的，且在倒数第三段中明确指出医生是在看完节目后打电话表示愿意提供免费手术的，故选[D]。
