Question

英语阅读理解小问题

A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to
buy a new pair of shoes. While she was trying on different styles(款式)，my neighbor took the manager aside. “When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said,“ just tell her that the price is 12 dollars. I’ ll pay the regular(正常的)price. I don’t care how much it is.”
The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager
recognized(认出)him and called him in.
“What’s the problem?” asked my neighbor as he entered the store.
“Wasn’t my check any good?”
“That’s not it,” answered the manager, “The problem is that your mother is
bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollae shoes!

( ) 24. The manager called my neighbor in when he saw him because_______.
A. he didn’t have enough shoes for his customers (顾客)
B. my neighbor’s mother had taken a wrong pair of shoes
C. there was something wrong with his check
D. he found it hard to satisfy his customers

Answer 1

选择D，因为文中经理说的最后一句话“The problem is that your mother is
bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollae shoes!”我邻居的妈妈认为这种鞋才12美元，很便宜，于是就带着她的朋友们也来买，可是鞋的价格不止12美元，店主不知道该如何处理这一问题，很难让我邻居的妈妈和妈妈的朋友都满意，就叫住这位邻居了。可以很容易排除A,B。C可以根据这句排除Wasn’t my check any good?”
“That’s not it,” answered the manager
