问题     Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony (单调乏味) are what they can’t stand.
    In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.
    One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shopkeeper, "If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, I’d like to buy two hundred hats of this style. " "No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style. "
    "How’s that?" the tourist could not understand.
    "Well," said the shopkeeper, "if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price. "
We can learn from the story that________.
选项 A、only the straw hats of the same style were sold
B、most American people don’t want to do the same work again and again
C、the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village
D、the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style
答案B
解析 第一段第一句“Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly…”点明了主题：大多数美国人讨厌无休止地重复同样的工作，接下来以一位游客去一个山村买帽子的故事进一步论述该主题。由此可推知，B项正确。根据第二段第二句“The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. ”可知，那里的村民可以制作不同款式的帽子——给老绅士的帽子，给可爱顽皮的孩子的帽子，给漂亮的年轻女士的帽子，由此可推知，A项错误；文中并未提及C项；根据第三段第一句“…a very nice hat that cost five dollars. ”和第三段最后一句……you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style. ”可知，如果想要买很多顶同样款式的帽子，每顶帽子至少需要付10美元，但一顶帽子原本售价为5美元，即价格更贵了，所以D项错误，这三项均不符合题意。故选B。
