Question

【題目】Harry finished his college and wanted to find a job in the city. One day he saw an advertisement in a window. It said, "Wanted. The best salesman in the world. Top Pay. "

文章大意：Harry大學(xué)畢業(yè)想要找一個(gè)工作，一天他看到一個(gè)招聘銷售員的廣告便去應(yīng)聘。他看到經(jīng)理時(shí)告訴經(jīng)理："我是世界上最好的銷售員，請把工作給我。"經(jīng)理讓他必須證明自己，于是要求他在這周結(jié)束前賣出一千盒糖。Harry認(rèn)為任務(wù)很簡單，欣然接受了。但是由于糖的質(zhì)量太差他一個(gè)一個(gè)商店去賣這些糖別人都不買，這周結(jié)束時(shí)他回來找經(jīng)理，告訴他自己不是最好的銷售員，最好的銷售員是那個(gè)賣給經(jīng)理糖的人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“You must prove(證明)that you are the best，” the manager said.可知經(jīng)理說Harry必須證明自己是最好的銷售員，故答案選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“Last week I bought a thousand boxes of the sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job.”可知經(jīng)理說如果他可以將自己上周買的一千盒糖在這周結(jié)束前全部賣出去，他便可以得到這份工作，故答案選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“I am a great salesman. ”Harry said to himself. “I’m sure that I can sell anything. ’’可知Harry認(rèn)為自己是一個(gè)很棒的銷售員可以賣出任何東西，所以他覺得這個(gè)任務(wù)很容易，故答案選A。
