问题     It is interesting to reflect how we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and ripped blue jeans? A student, we say to ourselves instantly, is not living at home either, or he wouldn’t be going about with those holes in his jeans. A graceful lady in a close-fitting dress, carefully cut nails and earrings? Must be a foreigner, we think. Englishwomen of that age don’t dress so smartly, and she probably has money too. Those shoes weren’t bought in a chain store. And that man walking along the pavement over there? Well-tailored suit, hat just at the right angle—a businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, it’s raining, isn’t it? Only an Englishman would carry his treasured umbrella, still perfectly rolled in the rain.
    I once read of a journalist who went into an extremely expensive department store, dressed in her shabby clothes. She was eyed with suspicion as she examined the goods on display. When she finally decided on a small purchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and wondered whether she could pay by cheque. The assistant politely told her that cheques were not accepted for goods of 2 pounds or under. The next day she went back, dressed to kill, smelling of expensive perfume. She selected an even cheaper article, told the same story and her cheque was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes. I wonder if Stone Age man selected his woman by the quality of the bearskin she was wearing.
The graceful lady described in the passage appears to be rich because________.

选项 A、her dress fits her perfectly
B、she isn’t dressed like an Englishwoman
C、she takes care of her nails
D、her shoes are of good quality

答案D

解析 根据第一段第六、七句“…she probably has money too. Those shoes weren’t bought in a chain store. ”可知,她很可能也有钱;她的鞋子不是在连锁商店买的。由此可推知,文中描述的这位优雅女士看起来富有是因为她的鞋子质量好且不便宜。故选D。
