Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers . It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton. “How much do you want?” “Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.” Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wifehaven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.” How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”
1.The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______. A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price C. people who buy tickets at a high price D. people who sell tickets at a high price

原文翻译:
克林顿先生和他3岁的儿子托尼都是篮球迷。去年10月10日是托尼的生日,所以克林顿先生决定带他开车到纽约,去观看世界杯篮球赛的第一场比赛。他们没有票,但希望从票贩子手中买到两张。
这是两个小时的车程。他们到达之后,在大街上走了两个小时,背着一个牌子,上面写着:「我们需要两张票」。周围有很多票贩子,但最便宜的门票是200美元一张。在他们准备离开的时候,突然一个男子拦住他们。他拿出两张票,递给克林顿先生。
「你想要多少钱?」
「不,只是一份礼物」,那人说,「好好享受这场比赛吧。」
克林顿先生不肯接受,所以人解释说:「我叫杰克逊。汉斯是我的老板。18年来,他和妻子从未错过每一年的世界杯篮球赛。但现在他生病了,不能观看比赛。于是,他告诉我,把这两张票送给我认为最可能享受球赛的人。看起来很多人只会拿了票就去出售套现。然后我看见你,我跟着你一会儿了。你似乎很失望。你让我想起我爸和我,当我还是个孩子的时候,我梦想和爸去观看一场世界杯篮球赛。但我的梦想永远不能实现。」
你以为克林顿先生和他的儿子会有些什么感想?这是克林顿先生的回答:「对我们来说,这简直是上天的恩赐。在球赛当中,我和儿子多次回过头望向对方,肯定不下于30次,都说“实在难以置信”。我们仍然没有忘记杰克逊和汉斯。」

****
scapler 的意思是“票贩子”,俗称“拼缝儿的”、“黄牛党”或“票虫儿”,是炒卖门票图利的人,故第1题的答案是D. people who sell tickets at a high price。文中曾提及最便宜的黄牛门票高达200美元一张,而一般正价门票仅约为20美元左右。
