Fred, a very conscientious worker, had one serious flaw: he was clumsy. The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.
One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.
Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he would be fired. The young man’s spirits began to drop.
"I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for," the manager said sternly.
"How much is the vase worth?" Fred asked.
"$350."
A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. "That’s wonderful!" he shouted happily. "At last I have a steady job!"
What happened to Fred one morning in the warehouse?
选项
A、He fell to the ground.
B、He broke his leg.
C、He broke a large vase.
D、He lost the large vas
答案
C
解析
从文章的第二段可以得知,一天上午,弗莱德解开一个巨大、易碎的花瓶,往仓库搬运。刚走两步就被绊倒,结果花瓶摔得粉碎。所以正确答案选C。
